    Ingress is brilliant. ^^

    Take a look at scout pace. Developed by the zulu warriors and adopted by rifle units, It involves alternating jog and walk for short bursts. Ie. Jog 10 paces, walk 10 paces, repeat.

    With this technique you should be able to cover a mile in 12 minutes without breaking a sweat. It's great for lunchtime exercise when you want to avoid all the hassle of getting changed and showering at work.

    Interval training of a sort is absolutely what you need, i started out walking .4 miles than jogging .1, than back to walking .4. Slowly shortened that gap and sped up my pace and now I'm able to run .8 miles and walk .2 for 4 miles straight.
