Sempre achei que correr nรฃo era pra mim, mas o plano de alternar caminhada e corrida foi perfeito pra quem comeรงa do zero. Em poucas semanas jรก conseguia correr trechos contรญnuos sem ficar ofegante, e as dicas sobre respiraรงรฃo e ritmo ajudaram demais. Cheguei nos 5 km sem dor no joelho, o que pra mim foi uma vitรณria enorme. Sรณ senti falta de um pouco mais sobre alongamento depois do treino, mas no geral recomendo muito.
