Gauge yourself listen to your body. When in doubt eat!!!!

They way I do it is run the full first mile at about 5.5-6 mph then walk until my chest isn't about to explode anymore, then run another .25-.5 then walk and repeat for up to 45 minutes. This is usually not on the same day as weight training. I'm also on a special K type diet. Lots of grilled chicken and steamed veggies in my dinners.
I forgot to mention that I've lost about 12 pounds in the last two months doing this. 25 more ad I'll be back to strength training.
