Note – Strength Training needs to be done 3 times per week.

Cross-Training includes cycling, swimming, yoga, walking, elliptical etc..
Strength Training covers – bodyweight workouts: squats (single/double legs) variants, lunges, push-ups, burpees, glute bridge, plank, crunches, leg raise, toe touch etc.
Intervals/Hill Training/Tempo Runs – can be added as variety in the program based on the individual’s fitness level & recovery status.
**The above training schedule is only a guide. If necessary, you can make minor modifications as per your work schedule. You can also include run/walk strategy if you’re new to the running, until you become strong & able to do the continuous running without a walk.
