Beginners:
- 1/4 mile warm up (approx. 2 min jog)
- Stretch
- 2 to 4 miles per day with 2 days of rest per week
- runs can be interval style (ex. run 3 min, walk 1) or straight easy pace
- distance can be separated throughout the day (ex. 1 mile in AM, 1.5 miles in PM)
- Finish each workout with cool down jog and stretch
Advanced Runners:
- 1/2 mile warm up (approx. 5 min jog)

- Distance based upon ability level 4 to 7 miles daily with 1 day of rest per week
