How long to run confused

[plugy]

Hi Im confused on how long to run the site says brisk walk for 5 minutes the 60 second run followed by 90 second walk for a total of 20 minutes.

Is the 20 minutes including the 5 minute walk?

Also i downloaded the pod cast and that goes on for 30 minutes.

What is right?

The podcast is 30 mins consisting of 5 min walk warm up, 20 mins of 60 sec run/ 90 sec walk and ends with 5 min walk cool down.

Don't worry Laura on the podcast will talk you through it all and tell you when to jog, when to walk and when you are doing the warm up and warm down.

Enjoy and good luck x

Hi,

I take it you are talking about week 1? I remember in total you were running for 8 minutes in total I think. So if you just count eight 60 second runs you should be fine. Also, I don't know why you aren't listening to the podcast, but I'd give them a try because they are so motivating, and you won't have to trouble yourself with the logistics of the run. I think the week 1 podcast didn't actually go on for very long but the 5 minutes warm up walk are always extra up front.

Echo that. Download the podcast to your phone and play it as soon as you set off. They are very motivating. Good luck.
