Turn Your Walk into a Run

Take your exercise routine up a notch! Follow this simple plan to turn your 15-minute walk into a two-mile run within a month.

Week 1

Run 2 or 3 minutes, walk 1 minute. Repeat combo.

Week 2

Run 3 or 4 minutes, walk 1 minute. Repeat combo.

Week 3

Run 5 or 6 minutes, walk 1 minute. Repeat combo.

Week 4

Run 1 mile, walk 1 minute. Repeat combo.
