The Mojo for Running Coaching Program starts with the Walk to Run to 5k Program, three sets of schedules, starting with the most basic level, designed for people who are starting from a totally unfit condition, appropriate for anyone any age. Overweight? Older? Then start at Week 1 of the Conditioning Schedules.

Beginner runners need to consider their lungs, bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments as members of their team. Is every member of the team ready to start running? Often, not but beginner runners tend to overlook that fact.

Knowing how to start is the hard part. How far to run before walking, how far to walk and how many times to repeat the interval. Virtually every beginner runner tries to start at a level that is too intense.

Beginner runners, people right at the cusp of their running career, need entirely different information and have completely different questions from experienced runners.
