[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you running/walking on an incline? I think if you want to maximize effort over time use the incline to get more out of the time you spend. The pace you go is going to depend on your fitness. As you can tolerate more, increase your speed. But starting with a run/walk program like a couch to 5K is a good start.[/quote] Yes, Couch to 5k is a good way to work up to running for 30 min on the treadmill. Years ago, I started by running 5 minutes on the treadmill at a 5mph pace (so 12:00/mile), and then would go on the elliptical for the remainder of the 30 min period 3 or 4 times a week. Every week I added on an additional 5 minutes or so on the treadmill, until I could go a full 3 miles. Eventually I upped the pace and ran outside, but that got me going. The key to starting with running is going slow and building up.[/quote]
