Race For Life - walk, run, walk plan
This is a fast way of improving your fitness. Basically every time you run you follow with some walking to recover. You can decide which days you train on. You just need to take 24 hours off between each training session. The programme starts 6 weeks before your Race for Life event.
REMEMBER: Aim for 3 sessions a week, with 24 hours between each session.
