Learn to Run session 1 day 1 for tomorrow

You've got this!  Up and at it tomorrow for day 1 of this new challenge:)
For me I will run at 830 am. Rain or shine!  A sports watch can help you time your walk/run segments.  

Session 1 week 1
Duration 34 minutes

Warm up: walk slow and easy 5 minutes
Run 1 minute.  Walk 2 minutes.  Do this 8 times.
Cool down: walk slow and easy 5 minutes
Stretch 

Note: the most important thing to remember is that speed is not important at this stage.  Your "run" portion should be a slow jog, always at a comfortable talking pace.  If you find the pace is too slow be patient and resist the temptation to skip ahead; you could increase your risk of injury.  

If you run leave a comment and let me know how you feel!:)
