Training Two Days per Week?
Hi, your training programs are awesome.
Since your plans are great, yet not for me, could you simplify what I need to do for each day within the 9 miles? I am usually out of breath after my 2 minutes. I want to increase my running time. I am at the moment 220 lbs, 6'1" tall. Thanks, Eddie  Answer by Dominique: Hi there, Thanks for your running training question. Your run/walk approach is fine. The key to improvement is taking it one step at a time. You are currently doing 2 minute runs in between the walks. Next time, try to add in a few 3 minute runs. If that seems too much, make them 2 min 15 second runs. The time after, make them 2 min 30 second runs, etc. Just build it up that way and slowly but surely you will be doing more and more running on that trail. I understand the weekend is the best moment to exercise as it is for many people and I can't judge your personal circumstances and availability during the week. It would be great if you could add a third (and fourth) exercise day. It does not have to take a lot of time, but it would help in getting some more improvement. Walking a 9 mile trail takes a long time. At the stage you are at you can get an effective workout in 10 - 30 minutes by not covering as much distance and doing a day like prescribed in my beginner running programs. I would imagine that with the above run/walk approach and some dietary changes you will become fitter, faster and healthier. Well done on making a start, keep it up, build it up and you will succeed.

Best of luck. Kind regards, Dominique |
