Increase intensity slowly

  • Wait at least two weeks before starting to increase — that’s the minimum your body needs to adjust. 
  • Once it begins to feel way too easy, you can start increasing the length of your workouts, to 30 and then 40 minutes, and eventually up to an hour.
  • Once you do that, you can gradually increase the intensity — running faster or harder, for example.
