The couch to 5 km.

Just found an old thread that was great - The couch to 5 km.

The thread includes a link to a website to show you how to go from the couch to running 5km in just 9 weeks. The program includes walking and running interval training and a download for your MP3 player with the program on it (music and cues on when to run and walk).

I thought that I would give it a go - I have never been able to run but always wished that I could - no better time than the present to try and with it all mapped out.

I encourage everyone to give it a go.

Hi Sharon and Mannie,

Great to have you ladies on board, now that the weather is starting to warm up, for me anyway (I'm in Melbourne) it is the perfect time!

I have just found out my DD is going in tomorrow for an operation to remove the pins in her jaw (you may be able to see in her pic below) so I will be starting the couch to 5 km training around mid week next week.

I will post how I go with what will be an exhausting first run/walk - I am sooo unfit!

Good luck with yours if you get a chance to start before me.

Deanne.
