Day 1 - YouTube - Seth James DeMoor
Intro: This is a quick summary of Day 1 from Seth James DeMoor. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.
Key Points:
- Build a solid running foundation by increasing weekly mileage gradually rather than jumping to high volume.
- Start with short, easy runs (1 mile) and add a bit more each day to let your body adapt.
- Consistency and recovery (stretching, easy days) are emphasized over sudden mileage spikes.
- The plan is designed to get you fit over a couple of months, not in a few weeks.
Workout Example:
- Monday: 1 mile easy run (feel good, then stretch).
- Tuesday: 2 miles easy.
- Wednesday: 1 mile easy.
- Thursday: 3 miles easy.
- Friday: 1 mile easy.
- Continue the pattern, slowly adding mileage each week as your body allows.
Closing Note: Give this simple progressive mileage plan a try and watch your confidence grow! Feel free to customize the paces in the Pacing app to match your current fitness level, and keep building toward those longer runs. Happy running!
