Ht. 5'6, Wt. 166 - Ok, is it possible to get in like, "running shape" in around 20 days? And when I say running shape I mean like, able to run for more than 5 minutes without losing my breath and if not in total running shape, would I see an inprovement? I plan to run everyday for as long as I can...is this ok?

Sprints are almost useless for shaping up for running long distance.

Also try doing sprints. They REALLY help your endurance. In soccer, after maybe two weeks of daily doubles (4 hour practices) I'm in really good shape. We do a lot of distance running, and sprinting.

15 minutes of straight JOGGING is the most effective way to get in 'running' shape or whatever. I'm on track, so I should know. Any less than 15 minutes will just be calorie burning, not helpful at all to your cardiovascular system or beneficial to the amount of time you can run without being out of breath.

The reason I am running is to be in shape for school....I have more time than I thought I would so I figured I would take advantage of it
