Run suicides 8-10 times per week.
Run 200 hills per week.
And run around a track until you get tired EVERYDAY!

run 5 days a week
and you should try running first to see how long u can run until you get tired.
and by tired i don’t mean you’re breathing a little faster and your legs are tired. some people stop because they think they are tired, but the truth is its just their mind telling them that they are tired so they stop when they can still run a couple more laps.
try to go until you really can’t stand it anymore. and try to run that distance a couple of times until you feel like you can increase the distance. and don’t increase it by too much… a little at a time. and remember to stretch after each run. and before if u want to.

Try to get out moving for a minimum of 30-45 minutes at least every other day. If you want to lose weight, it’s ideal to go longer and more frequently.
Don’t neglect recovery days though so your body can repair and rebuild. You might also want to look into cross training like an exercise bike to give your body a break from the impact of running.
Don’t worry a lot about pace so much as establishing a regular routine. It’s perfectly fine to walk or run-walk, especially in the early months.
A key component can also be diet alteration, and getting rid of all junk food, including most processed foods, and ensuring you get good nutritional value from the things you do consume.
14% body fat is actually on the healthy end, and it may be difficult to lose fat beyond that. Exercise is also likely to put on muscle, so though your body shape might change and get more toned, you may or may not see a lot of actual weight loss.
Those who establish a good sustainable exercise routine and overhaul their diet tend to average a loss of about 5 sustainable pounds per month.
And as far as a running “guide,” it can be key to listen to your body more than anything. You also generally want to be more concerned with time you put in and regularity over anything else.
