Adapt a run-walk programme to my situation. Current fitness: [CURRENT_FITNESS]. Days I can run: [DAYS]. Target event or date if any: [TARGET]. Terrain and weather: [TERRAIN_WEATHER].

Create a nine-week plan with intervals of running and walking, increasing gradually, in a table showing Week | Session structure | Total time | Effort guidance in terms of talk-test. Include a repeat-week rule if a session felt too hard, tips on shoes and surfaces, and how to handle the day after. Add a short section on common beginner mistakes with fixes. Remind me to stop and seek medical advice for chest pain, faintness, or persistent joint pain, and to consult a doctor before starting if I have health conditions.

Include a table of three fallback options for weeks disrupted by travel, illness or weather, and a note on how to choose between repeating a week and moving on. Add a pre-run and post-run checklist of five items each, and finish with a plan for what to do the week after the final session so the habit continues.

None of this replaces therapy or medical care. Should I describe a crisis, pause the exercise and direct me to emergency services or a hotline for my country before anything else.
