How to run it
After a five-minute brisk walk, alternate 8 min of gentle running with 5 min of walking, 2 times, then walk for five minutes to finish. Run slowly enough to talk. You'll hear when to run and when to walk.
What it's for
Running a little at a time, with walks between, lets your heart, lungs, bones and tendons adapt together. The walks are part of the training, not a failure to run.
