The mission
The classic beginner-friendly running protocol. Walk-run intervals that build to a non-stop 5 km finish.
Daily task
Run today's scheduled interval or log active recovery.
When
Morning before work or evening to wind down. Same time = better adherence.
The technique
Step by step.
- 01Warm up with 5 min brisk walk before every session.
- 02Land mid-foot under the hip, not heel-first out in front.
- 03Cadence ~170 steps/min, short, light steps. No bouncing.
- 04Cool down with 5 min walk + calf and hip stretches.

The rules
Play fair.
- Run 3 days per week minimum (M / W / F).
- Follow the day's run-walk intervals exactly.
- Strength train or walk on off days, no full rest.
Common mistakes
Avoid these.
- Starting too fast. Run at conversation pace, not race pace.
- Skipping warm-up = shin splints by Week 3.
- Running on consecutive days early on, needs 48h recovery.
