Intermediate Running for Weight Loss: Running Program

Drop 10 pounds with our all-new fitness plan

Plan created by Amy Dixon

If you can run for about 30 minutes straight--at any speed--this plan's for you. (If not, check out our run/walk program to build you up to 30 minutes). At the end of six weeks you'll be able to do a full hour on the road--and you'll score a killer body that's 10 pounds lighter.

Run at a pace that feels challenging but comfortable. Feel free to switch the rest day, but make sure you do one full day of rest each week. And don't forget to stretch after each workout.
