Build a progressive running plan that starts from zero (the couch) and gets me to running 5 km without stopping, alternating walking and running safely.\n\nConsidering:\n\n- My starting point: [EX: \"I'm out of breath after 1 minute of running\", \"I can walk 30 min comfortably\"]\n- About me: [AGE AND CONDITION, EX: \"35 years old, overweight, sedentary\"]\n- How many days a week I can train: [EX: \"3 days\"]\n- Where I'll run: [EX: \"streets around my block\", \"treadmill\", \"park\"]\n- Pain or limitations: [EX: \"sensitive knee\" OR \"none\"]\n- My goal and deadline: [EX: \"run a 5K race in 2 months\"]\n\nRules:\n1. Build a week-by-week plan (the \"run X \/ walk Y\" pattern) that increases the running and reduces the walking gradually until I reach 5 km or about 30 minutes of running.\n2. In each session, include a warm-up (walking + mobility) and a cool-down with stretching, and leave rest days between sessions.\n3. Teach me to control the pace with the \"talk test\" (running at a pace where I can still speak) and the difference between normal discomfort and warning pain.\n4. Give practical tips on shoes, hydration, the time of day (heat where I live) and how not to quit in the first weeks; no plans that are too hard and no sudden jumps in load.\n5. Make clear this is general wellbeing guidance and does NOT replace medical assessment; recommend medical clearance before starting (especially with excess weight, a heart condition or over 40) and stopping and seeking care for chest pain, unusual breathlessness, dizziness or sharp joint pain.\n\nAnswer format: \"Before you start\" (precautions and medical clearance), \"Week-by-week plan\" (table: week | run\/walk session | days), \"The right pace and warning signs\" and \"Tips for not quitting\". End with encouragement and the health reminder. If something is missing, assume the most common scenario and carry on.","_como_usar":"This prompt builds a running plan that takes you from the couch to 5 km by alternating walking and running, and it works in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.\n1. Paste the prompt and fill the brackets with your starting point, your age and how many days a week you can train.\n2. Say where you will run, any knee pain, and your goal \u2014 a 5K race in two months, for instance.\n3. Read the precautions and the medical clearance first, especially with excess weight or if you are over 40.\n4. You get the week-by-week plan in the run-a-bit, walk-a-bit pattern, which grows the running until you hit 5 km.\n5. Note the warm-up, the cool-down and the rest days, plus the talk test for controlling your pace.\n6. Follow the tips on shoes, hydration and time of day so you don't quit early on.\nAsk for the next week as you finish each stage. This is general wellbeing guidance: stop and seek care if you feel chest pain, unusual breathlessness or sharp joint pain.","_views":48,"_likes":0,"_nota_sum":0,"_nota_count":0,"_nota_avg":0,"_nota_weight":0,"_i18n_grupo":691},"macro":[3],"subcategoria":[12],"prompt_tag":[1174,1117,1176,1182],"ferramenta":[13,14,15],"class_list":["post-1120","prompt","type-prompt","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","macro-text","subcategoria-health-wellness","prompt_tag-5k","prompt_tag-beginner","prompt_tag-physical-activity","prompt_tag-running","ferramenta-chatgpt","ferramenta-claude","ferramenta-gemini"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt\/1120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/prompt"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"macro","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/macro?post=1120"},{"taxonomy":"subcategoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subcategoria?post=1120"},{"taxonomy":"prompt_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt_tag?post=1120"},{"taxonomy":"ferramenta","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ferramenta?post=1120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
