The plan should get you to the finsh line.

One suggestion: I'd turn those 2 mile runs into 4 half-mile intervals, or 8 quarter-mile intervals where you concentrate on putting a little focus on speed, or perhaps some hill work.

It is not a crazy question.

In interval is a specified distance. In my suggestion I used a quarter mile and half mile intervals.

To run an interval you have to know the distance on the ground. Point A to Point B. If you are using a GPS watch it will measure the distance for you.

An interval, because it is a shorter distance, you run it at a faster pace. This is done with turning the feet over more quickly, not longer strides.

Starting out -- with whatever distance you choose --- do not run it like a 100 meter dash. You simply want to pick up the pace. This will get your body moving faster.

Certainly is you choose a half mile over a quarter mile --- the half mile pace will not be as fast as a quarter mile. The idea is to start pushing your body to move quicker.

After you run your first interval, you then walk for a while. There are formulas for this. But starting out -- walk half the distance you ran. Then run your next interval. walk, run, walk, etc.

This will show results later down the road with both your breathing (made easier), and your ability to run longer distances more quickly.

A track is a good place to start doing these as each lap is close enough to a quarter-mile.
