Newest answer

Taking it easy - watch out for injuries, that are almost never related to muscles, but to joints, so ankles and knees. You should start with a mix of walking and running, increasing the running % by the time.. Consider something like: Level 1 - 2' walk+...

what day does the week start?

Question • 8 answers

Do the weeks start on sundays or mondays? i know, stupid question but it makes a difference in the numbers of my runs this week.

Does it only have to be 3 times a week?

Question • 4 answers

If I run more than 3 times a week for the 4 week period does this still count or does it have to be specifically only the 3 times a week?

Newest answer

I always try to get 3 runs in a week. Although sometimes I want to run more. If I add a 4th or 5th run then I make sure they are light (maybe shorter or slower pace). I definitely need 2 rest days in my week.
