If you prefer a treadmill workout, set the pace to whatever pace you keep a normal breathing pattern. After a 5 minute warm-up, drop the speed 25% and increase the incline to its max. Try to do this for one minute. After a minute, bring incline back to one and increase speed back to where you started for two minutes. Repeat this cycle (2minutes flat, 1 minute fully inclined) for twenty minutes. Then drop the speed to slow and do a two minute cool down.

You have a few different goals here:
1. To be able to do the above workout for 40 minutes.
2. Once you’ve accomplished this goal, start increasing the amount of speed.
3. Now start increasing the amount of time in incline. Try to get up to doing 2 minutes each. After that, increase incline time over flat time.
As you can see there are many ways you can change up this exercise. To me, that’s the ticket on any exercise. Never become complacent or bored, otherwise you’re more likely to quit. Once you can do the above, start jogging at a slow pace and work up to 3 miles.
If your already in shape and need more of a challenge, here’s some good sprint exercises.
Sprints - should be run at 90% of your fastest speed.
Set up 5 cones (or anything you have as a visible marker) 90 feet apart (don’t get technical with this, just walk 30 paces which is roughly 3 feet per pace). Beginning at your 1st cone (doesn’t matter which end, the first cone is always your starting point), sprint to the 2nd. Now walk to until you reach the last cone. Sprint to the second cone. Walk to the last cone. Sprint to the 3rd cone. Walk to the last cone. Sprint all four cones. Walk to the first cone turnaround and go back to the start line. Repeat exercise. Once if combining, 4 times if doing solo.
