Run-Walk-Run
Training Week 1 starts with a 1 minute run:1 minute walk – or 1:1 ratio – for 1 mile. Each week, the number of minutes running increases as the goal distance steps up (i.e. 1:1 for 1 mile, 2:1 for 1.25 mile, etc.). These runners progress toward continuously running 3 miles by the 8th week.
Run-Walk Only
These runners complete the goal distance each week using a set 1 minute run:1 minute walk ratio. This won’t change from week to week (i.e. Week 1 is 1:1 for 1 mile, Week 2 is 1:1 for 1.25 mile, etc.).
Running
These runners progress toward running 3 miles continuously with little to no walking by the 8th week. They will increase running distance by ¼-mile each week, without taking a walk break if possible, adding roughly 2 to 3 minutes to their running endurance per week.
