3. You've got to re-pattern the cardiovascular and respiratory
systems in order to rebuild. How to do that? You 'tell' the
body by doing. You program it. Work up to 1 hour fast paced

That's one foot in front of the other *continuously* for one
hour. That's approximately three miles. That's close to double
time.

A nitpick: that isn't even quite quicktime, much less doubletime.
Quicktime is 120 steps per minute, stride of 30" so 3.41 mph.
Doubletime is 180 steps per minute, 50% faster or about 5 mph.
