Beginners Jogging Schedule

If you're considering taking up running, but you've never attempted it before or it's been many years since you last ran, a good beginner's jogging schedule can make the difference between success or failure.

How to Start Jogging

If you really want to start jogging but you're nervous or unsure of your ability, rest assured that everyone has it within them to become a 5k, 10k or marathon runner. You have the ability to become an advanced runner. However, the starting point is always the hardest. Like toddlers, you have to crawl before you can walk. The following beginner's jogging schedule will get you started on a daily routine that will introduce you to the stimulating and exhilarating world of jogging.

Are you ready and motivated to get out there and start running? Great! Just slow down a minute and take inventory of where you are this very moment. Are you healthy or overweight? Are you young or mature? Do you have any specific physical disabilities or ailments that might cause pain during a job? Believe it or not, even if you think you're healthy enough to run, you may have underlying issues that could surface when you start running. If you don't get those taken care of first, the pain that those problems cause could demoralize you and cause you to fall out of the sport of jogging forever. The best way to ensure your success is to get a full list of your health problems. Just because you have some doesn't mean you can't jog, but they will represent the challenges - that you will dig deep and overcome.

Before you start jogging:

• Make a list of your daily activity. Do you sit at a desk all day?
• Make an appointment right now for a quick checkup. When you arrive, tell the doctor you are going to start a new walking or running routine.
• Make a list of the sugary foods you currently have in your diet and make a commitment to remove those items.
• Start getting into a regular sleep routine and decide what part of the day you normally feel the most energy. Commit to dedicating that part of the day to your new jogging schedule.

Once you have an inventory of your health issues from your doctor, you'll know exactly what sort of beginners jogging schedule you should choose based on your physical challenges. If you are severely overweight (doctors call it "obese"), that doesn't mean you can't run - it just means you need to work very slowly and carefully into your routine. Consider the following 4 week "activity" schedule before continuing into the four week jogging schedule.

• Week 1: The first week, choose any activity at all - from simple walking down the street to using a treadmill or stepper - and perform it every day at a moderate pace that gets your heart beating a little faster for about 10 minutes.
• Week 2: Perform the same activity each day, but this week, extend it into 15 minutes.
• Week 3: Perform the same activity this week for 20 minutes a day.
• Week 4: This week, you're going to push yourself during your moderate physical activity for an additional 10 minutes, to 30 minutes.

By the fourth week, you'll notice that while the 30 minute session of moderate exercise really gets your heart pumping, you are exercising for more time than you probably thought possible. This is your first evidence that your body is capable of accomplishing more than you ever imagined. Continue for four more weeks at the 30 minute level to prepare your body for the next level.

The following schedule will take you from beginner up through intermediate levels of running. The following are in levels, not weeks - although most runners will advance between levels in weeks. Only advance to the next level when you feel that you're ready. Over straining and pushing ahead too quickly is the top reason most runners quit. Allow yourself time to advance and you'll be successful.

• Level 1: Warm up at the same pace you've been working out for the past four weeks (or longer), then start jogging for one full minute and then walk for two. Finish the rest of your walk by alternating like this. Eventually advance into 90 seconds of jogging and two minutes of walking.
• Level 2: After first running and walking 90 minutes, jog for two full minutes and then walk for two full minutes.
• Level 3: Do your usual 5 minute warm-up and 90 minute alternating and then run for 3 minutes and walk for 2, then run for 5 minutes and walk for 2 and alternating 5/2 for the rest of your 30 minute routine.
• Level 4: After the warm-up, jog for 5 minutes, walk for 3. Alternate 5/3 for the whole 30 minutes.
• Level 5: After the warm-up, jog for an entire 20 minutes, then walk the last 10.
• Level 6: After the warm-up, jog for 25 minutes and walk for 5 minutes.
• Level 7: After the warm-up, jog for the entire 30 minutes.

Once you complete the beginner's schedule, you'll be an intermediate jogger that can run for 30 minutes non-stop without walking, regardless of speed. As you advance as a runner, you will start working on not only how much time you are running, but how much distance you can cover in that time. Most importantly of all, you'll be out there enjoying one of the most addictive and enjoyable forms of exercise in the world.
