I’m not training for a particular race. Just working toward the goal of being able to jog/trot for progressively longer periods in the service of losing weight and keeping diabetes under control.
I have two cardio days per week, currently, with three or four strength training days. I do 45 minutes on a treadmill, aiming to alternate 90 seconds of walking and 90 seconds of trotting.
I log my time, distance, and average heart rate.
Eventually I’d like to be able to handle a 5k run and complete it in about 30 minutes. Currently in my 45 minute sessions I’m only getting to about 2.8 mi / 4.5 km so I have a ways to go.
Maybe not so far as you think. Keep increasing the time you are running little by little, and before long you'll be able to run for 30 minutes without stopping.
