I feel like anyone who doesn't enjoy "jogging" for 10-15 straight minutes should really try the 2 minute running hard, 1 minute walking intervals. I used to struggle jogging 1-1.5 miles and now I do 3 miles at an average pace of just under 10 minutes with these intervals, warm-up and cool down. It also keeps you from being discouraged when you get "tired", look down, see you only have 30 seconds until walking for a minute and you can push through it.
My roommate does the intervals but instead of walking he just jumps to the side of the treadmill...I prefer walking, but I've done both. People look at you kind of weird when you do the side thing.
