Intro: Here’s a breakdown of Day 1 from Seth James DeMoor’s program. The essentials so you can get started. Watch the full video for the rest.

Key points:

  • Build a base by ramping up weekly mileage gradually. Don’t jump into high volume.
  • Start with short, easy runs (around 1 mile) and add a bit each day so your body can adjust.
  • Prioritize consistency and recovery (stretching and easy days) over sudden mileage jumps.
  • Fitness builds over a couple of months, not weeks.

Workout example:

  • Monday: 1 mile at an easy pace, then stretch.
  • Tuesday: 2 miles at a conversational effort.
  • Wednesday: 1 mile, comfortable.
  • Thursday: 3 miles at your natural pace.
  • Friday: 1 mile to close the week.

Stick with the pattern, adding distance as your body adapts week to week.

Closing note: Try this progression and use the Pacing app to dial in speeds for your fitness.
