Setting goals is great for self improvement. Figuring out achieve them is even better.
Instructions
1. First off, go for a run. Monitor how far you can go before you are too tired to go on.
2. Take this information and think about how far you would like to be able to run in 1 session. For example, if you're training for a 10K, you'll want to be able to run at least 6.2 miles in 1 run.
3. Figure out how much you need to improve. Maybe you can't even run 1 right now, but you'd like to get to 6. You need to improve by 6 miles.
4. Take the amount of time you have to get to the point you want. For example, 6 weeks. Create a schedule that will gradually push you more and more to your goal.
5. Be sure to take days off from running. A good rule of thumb is to run 2 days in a row and then take a day off. On this day you still want to be exercising, though, so throw in some calisthenics or a leisurely walk, or both.
6. Make sure to reward yourself once you've reached your goal! You've earned it!
