Beginner Run Coaching

Get Started in Running: Session IIIC

This is a series of workouts that are perfect for a beginner runner. They are especially designed for people who find running hard and avoid it because of that reason. These workouts break running into easier segments to make them achievable. Over a period of three weeks a run/walk workout has been posted every second day, that when sequenced correctly will give you an easy workout to get you running. As you work through the workouts, they involve more and more running, but because you have worked through them in sequence, even though they involve more running, they are just as easy because your fitness has improved.

This is the last session and it follows Run/Walk IA, IB, IC, IIA IIB, IIC, IIIA & IIIB.
