How to run for 30 minutes without stopping
It made me
 "Definitely worth doing"
How I did it: I finally did it! Although I do have to admit it was more of a jog instead of a run I am so proud of myself for marking this one off the list. I used to be very overweight and at that time half a mile was a difficult task. I would get tired from walking up a flight of stairs it was so bad. Since then I've lost some weight and just recently started running again in order to lose the rest. My regimen started off as follows: Lessons & tips:

How I did it: Running three times per week at my desired time, cross-training another day, and taking a light run/walk another day. I increased my length of running by 2-3 minutes per week. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started off slowly, then had targets to reach e.g. 10 minutes was my first target, a few days later 15 minutes was my next target. Sometimes if I felt I could I would outrun my targets depending on how comfortable with the run I felt. Read how I did it…
jessieb4cnusb swam a mile and did some crunches today.. tomorrow jogging or lifting
Used to I couldn’t even get to a mile and now I’m jogging for 20 minutes straight.. Getting closer.. 10 more minutes and I can call this goal done.. I also know I’m running over 2 miles which is a great feeling and accomplishment in itself.. I’ll get this one done in the next couple of weeks I think..
I finally met my goal today yay! I was not breathing too hard, either. I think, lung wise, I could have gone for longer. I don’t want to push my body too hard, though. The runner’s blogs all say to only increase speed/distance by 10% per week or you may risk injury.
I use to be able to run more than 45 minutes without stopping, but I stopped working out for awhile and now I am out of shape. I recently joined a new gym and I am ready to gain back my endurance!
The Plan:
I started out with 10 minutes
then 15
and just yesterday I did 20 minutes non-stop.
Soon I will increase it to 25
then eventually 30.
I could have definitely gone longer. I full out ran the last 1/10 of a mile.
This run was more difficult today. I really wasn’t looking forward to going and it was a struggle around the 15 minute mark. I tried to do a couple 1/2 block, full out runs, which winded me more. I’m hoping that will help increase my endurance.
I wasn’t even that winded when I got home. I feel like I could have gone for longer, but it was sprinkling and I needed to take my dogs out. It’s amazing how quickly my endurance has built up!
As usual, I became tired at about the six minute mark, but pushed through and was fine by the eight minute mark. I actually aimed for 24 minutes today, but underestimated the distance I was running, so had to tack on a couple extra minutes at the end. I think I definitely slowed a little during the last five minutes, but still, I am aiming for time, not distance at this point. I will continue to shoot for 24 this week for my other two full run days.
And I wasn’t gasping for air at the end. However, I ran mid-day and I was extremely hot
I ran 3 minutes less, but at about a 10 mile/hour pace. Not bad. Maybe I need to take it a little bit slower so that I can increase my time. The last 10 minutes today were pretty hard and I’m more concerned at time than distance at this point
