How fast should you run? Do you speed up the longer you run? The trick is not to worry about speed. In general, try to run at a pace that allows you to comfortably hold a conversation. Find a pace that allows you to finish the distance of the session, or as close to it as you can. Run until you begin to feel fatigued and then walk until recovered. Cross-training: On cross-training days, try a different kind of workout — like biking, swimming, walking or a group fitness class at the gym. The variety will help your overall conditioning and allow you to stay active, while having a break from running.
Walk: Brisk walking is often overlooked. This guide suggests you go for an hour-long walk on the day after your longest run. Enjoy yourself — not all training has to feel difficult.
If a minute walk seems too much at first, begin with about 30 minutes and build each week until you reach 60 minutes. Health Pro rating. Goals Boost fitness , Be healthier.
