	Don’t Walk... Run! If you hate the idea of running for fitness, you’re missing out on a great way to burn calories. Take this 5-week challenge to get your training up and running. By Bob Cooper

		Running is an easy way to burn calories and improve endurance, yet many of us resist taking that jog, opting for the ol’ stationary bike or Stairmaster. We operate on the idea that running is bad for the joints and too difficult and besides—you can’t watch TV while you’re jogging. Still, running gets a bad rap; the potential for joint damage is minimal (if done correctly) and running can be fun if you are consistently challenging yourself. Our 5-week running program will get you in the proper mindset to take advantage of this convenient and effective cardio method. Learn how to set up a program to progressively increase your endurance. Select the running interval training schedule that’s right for you, and challenge yourself like never before.
