In my neighborhood there is a perfect 1 mile route from door to door. I have shallow hills so what I do is walk up the elevations and jog down the hill. Nothing too high or low, mostly flat.
The whole time I can still talk (to my self, we have great conversations) so I'm not out of breath. I do this about 5-6 times a week.
When it's too hot (i'm in Fla) I go to the gym and use the bike..
I've been doing this for years... Works for me..
