So... do I just commit myself to 'so many runs' per week and listen to the podcast while I'm running?

Three runs a week with a day between them. I do mine on Fri, Sun and Tues. And yep, just listen to it and it'll tell you what to do

Yep - listen whilst walking/running


This from Ullrey's website about Week One.

You'll have a brisk five minute walking warmup followed by eight sets of 60 second interval runs. A 90 second recovery will follow each interval and you'll finish up with a 5 minute cool down.

Move to Week 2 when you feel you're ready.

Hi all

I have been reading since the thread was started and I am in the seriously contemplating doing this 'stage'. Does it have to be 3 times per week with one day between or can it be any days in the week? Does that makes sense?

Thanks
KM

What days are you thinking of? I'm not sure but I think the day in between should be followed

Keeping_Motivated

I'm not sure... I just know that my weeks vary so it would be hard to set 'set days' but as long as I make sure I leave a day inbetween I suppose it doesn't matter if I don't stick to the days the guy on the podcasts sets?

Can't believe I am even 'contemplating' this, I can't walk upstairs without being out of breath but I'm not over weight at all just completely unfit!

I wouldn't say it matters really, just keep the day inbetween and you should be okay.

Go on, agree to do it you sound like me, I get out of breath far too easy, so unfit, bit slowly getting there. To be honest, I just do it for something to do and a bit of a challenge more than anything else. Everyone has their reasons though

Keeping_Motivated

Ok you've persuaded me. I'll buy some running shoes and socks this weekend and download the podcast and I will start maybe Sunday? I will let you know when I have bought them so you can add me to the list :eek:
