WITH WALKING REGIMEN SO THAT I DONT FEEL TIRED? HOW SHOULD I SPACE MY EXERCISES WITH THE WALKING OR RUNNING REGIMEN??

Answer
Your main problem with your current strategy is that you're doing the same workout, every day. So, there's no adjustments in intensity for you, meaning no new demands to be met, and no changes to be made. I imagine your 30 minute runs are at the same pace, day in, day out. I would work on running shorter distances, but running them harder instead.
Check out my free guide, the Mini-Max Method, to help you out a little further on this. Especially look at the cardio section on it, that should help you understand why doing the same thing, over & over, won't work and won't give you the results you're aiming for.
