when i first started getting back in shape that's what i did, ran till i couldn't anymore, then walk a bit, then run as soon as i thought i could, it's a really good way to push your body. if you have access to a track a good way to do it is run (or sprint if you can) the straights and jog (or walk if you have to) the curves, throwing in some just solid laps of a very quick jog. (like 75% as fast as you can go) i'm at the point where i can run a 5k (3.1 miles) in about 18 minutes pretty easily, but obviously, as the distance goes up, the pace gets slower. man, this thread brings back memories of cross country in high school.
