Welcome to Week 2
We hope you had a fantastic start to the program last week.
What’s on the Schedule This Week? We are sticking with our 1-minute run / 1-minute walk intervals, but we are gradually increasing the volume. While we started with 5 repetitions last week, we’ll be building up toward 10 reps this week. Including your 5-minute warm-up and cool-down, you’ll be completing about 30 minutes of movement per session. Remember, everyone progresses at different rates. If you need to adjust the reps to fit how you feel today, that is perfectly okay.
Consistency Over Motivation One of the most common questions I get from new athletes is: “How do I get faster?” or “How can I make this feel easier?”.
The answer is surprisingly simple: Consistency. Many people wait for motivation to strike before they head out, but it’s actually the reverse—consistency creates motivation. Focus on making running a habit, and the “easy” feeling will follow.

How Fast Should You Go? At this stage, your effort should be easy and conversational. While some prefer to track heart rate or speed, I recommend learning to listen to your body and your breathing. If you can’t speak a full sentence comfortably, just slow it down!
