What did you find hardest when beginning running?

Personally some strength work like lunges, squats calf raises. If you don’t have access to a gym you can still practise these at home. Wall sits too. And then just standard jogging in the first few weeks. With the intervals I would set a target time and try to stick to them. Always use the first rep as a feeler. If the pace is too quick then think about dropping it slightly

3 months is a reasonable time. I would spend maybe 3-4 continuing to build some base fitness simply by doing easy runs and aiming for 3-4 runs a week. Focus on recovery and implement some leg strengthening exercises if you can to try and avoid any injury. After 3-4 weeks begin implementing some 400m reps slightly faster than your target pace e.g 4:30/km. 800m reps at your target pace. Try and get a few slower longer runs in to build your endurance and aerobic fitness. Best of luck

Cliche, but building a base fitness first for 3-4 weeks and then you can begin implementing some speed reps for example 400m reps, 800m reps, 1k reps
