Looking for complement to running program

Which program would you recommend to pair with an existing walk/run program, to work on things the running does not work on.

(The walk/run program alternates days of zone 2 for fat burning with higher intensity to build cardio reserves, and hopefully work up to 5k in 45 minutes.)

You might want to check out Darebee's Running programs and save whatever portion of those workouts you find helpful:

Some of those look good. Thanks!

I imagine running is going to be mostly stamina and lower body focused. So maybe a good upper body and/or core workout would be a good compliment.

Upper body and stretching and the lower body parts that running doesn't do. I might do a program that includes running, but replace the running bits with my existing program.

May I suggest either Foundation or Hero's Journey? Both are pretty light and help give some basic workouts and are fairly full body workouts. As a bonus, the Hero's Journey is an RPG workout and fun

I'm almost done Foundation. (Go me!) Hero's Journey looks fun. I'll see if I can think clearly enough to follow it!

(More fun: I'm an oral storyteller with an interest in story structure. I have "thoughts" about the Hero's Journey, the book it's first in, and its effect on modern stories and culture. It's done a lot of damage to both!)
