    It won’t. At least not with that approach. You need to strengthen your feet and tendons. I know, you’re fit and you lift. But consider that a typical pace will have each foot hitting the ground 70-90 times a minute. Even at the lower end thats over 2000 foot strikes per side during your run. That will do damage so you need to work up to it.

    Try 30 minutes of running for 2 minutes and walking for 1 three times a week. Every week increase the run by a minute. By the time you reach 8:1 you can choose to not stop. Pace should be easy, lime you can maintain a conversation.

    After you can run for 30 minutes continuously 3 times a week without felling like death, you can get fancy with the training protocol. But the early weeks are the toughest because you feel like you can do more, but you should absolutely not.
