What It Is
Mixing short runs with walking breaks builds running fitness gently, letting beginners cover more distance with less strain.
How to Do It
Alternate running and walking for the times your coach set. On the runs, work hard enough that you can talk in short sentences but not sing. On the walks, slow down until your breathing settles.
Skill Level
Novice. Everyday movements on a stable base. Safe to learn on day one.
Type
Cardio. Raises your heart rate to build endurance and heart health.
Engagement
