Training Schedule

I started researching some training schedules, and I think I found my favorite. All of the schedules were 12-week schedules, so I'm just planning on repeating weeks. Maybe I'll start out with the (A) path for the week and then do (B). Some sites recommend being able to run 3 miles at a time (never done that before), or already running about 15 miles a week before starting a training schedule. So, I'll work my way up to that point, which might take a while, then really get into looking at the training schedules. Until then, here's my plan:

To read the workout key,


Cross-train: Non-weight bearing activity. Examples are biking, swimming, rowing, or elliptical trainer. You want to maintain and build on your aerobic fitness, while also giving your body a rest from the wear and tear of running.
Easy Run: Recovery run. 65-70 percent for heart rate.
Long Run: Slow, long distance run, also known as a 'fat burning run;' keep a pace that makes it easy to maintain a conversation. 


I'm not sure how I feel about this part: 


The number to the left of the "/" indicates the length of time (in minutes) to run, while the number to the right of the "/" indicates the length of time to walk. For example, the (A) workout for the first week says 3/2, which means you should run for 3 minutes, walk for two minutes.


I'm going to do some more research about breaking up your run with walking.
