    30 mins is long for a beginner unless you just do a fast walk. Better to just do 10 minutes every day and keep track of your pace. Then increase the speed first when the sessions become easier. Then once your pace is decent and it doesn’t tire you add interval training at the end of every other session so alternate between a sprint and a jog every 30 seconds. For like 5 times and increase the reps or the duration when it becomes easy. Then later on you can add a second 10 minute session like at the end of the day on a couple of days in your week where you do something different like hill or stair climbing.

    With your current training schedule there is a good chance you will quit altogether. Don’t make it hard on yourself. Also if you become super exhausted after a run it doesn’t mean you trained better and will progress faster compared to a run where you still feel fine afterwards, it can actually cause the opposite since your are more likely to injure yourself.
