Beginners

1. Start Slow: Begin with brisk walking and gradually introduce jogging. Aim for 20-30 minutes per session, 3-4 times a week.
2. Intervals: Alternate between walking and jogging. For example, walk for 2 minutes, jog for 1 minute, and repeat.
3. Gradual Increase: Each week, increase the jogging intervals and decrease the walking intervals until you can jog continuously.

Intermediate to Advanced

1. Increase Duration: Aim for 30-60 minutes of continuous running or jogging, 3-5 times a week.
2. Vary Intensity: Incorporate interval training by alternating between high-intensity sprints and moderate jogging. For example, sprint for 30 seconds, jog for 1 minute, and repeat.
3. Hill Training: Run or jog on hills to increase intensity and engage more muscle groups.
4. Long Runs: Once a week, do a long run at a comfortable pace to build endurance. Gradually increase the distance each week.
