    Hi! I have been working on getting healthy and losing weight for over 2 years now. I am working-out 5-6 days a week. I have been doing intervals on the treadmill of walking at 2.8-3.0 and at 3,8,13, 18,23, 28 mins I will jog/run at the speed of 5.0-5.5 for 30 to 60 secs. I really enjoying running, but I am not sure how to make it where I am able to do it for a longer time/distance. Can anyone give any hints that will help me with achieving this?

    congratulations on your achievement!

    a lot of folks use the c25k programs. myself i did exactly what you're doing. 10 minute walking; 30-45 second running; 10 minutes walking; 30-45 second running. i gradually added more time to running and less to walking. once i got comfortable with 10 minute running i pushed myself to last longer but never increased my speed until i felt i was ready. distance has always been more important to me than speed. fyi i ran my first half marathon on june 1st.
