60min in 16 Weeks
16 WEEKS
Compared to other beginner running programs you come across, this may start out as being quite conservative, but the end result we’re chasing is very different. The goal here is for you to be able to run for a full 60 minutes while building strength and a strong aerobic foundation. As opposed to just running a certain distance no matter how sore and broken you are at the end of the program.
Each week:
2-3 x runs (outdoor or treadmill) starting at 30mins working up to 60 mins
2 x strength training workouts (weights and bodyweight)
Runner-specific warm-ups to prevent injury and improve efficiency,
1 x mobility workout - improve flexibility and range of motion
Level: Beginner (novice runner)
Equipment needed: Running shoes, treadmill, resistance bands, kettlebell or dumbbells, timer/watch
Additional details: This is walk/run program that will help you build a solid aerobic foundation.
The aim of this program is to make you a stronger, more resilient runner and ensure each week you’re in better shape than the one before. It will focus on building both basic physical strength and muscle endurance to reduce your chances of getting hurt and ruining your progress.
