Hey all!

I had a client tell me about this Couch to 5K. Has anyone done it/or doing it? I'm 2 months into my 6 month pre-op medically supervised diet and feel it's time to literally get off the couch and start doing something.

I absolutely LOVE C25K! I'm getting ready to re-start it, I did it a few years ago when I was training to run a 5K with some other nurses at work who were all skinny and fit and I needed some extra help!

Its all interval training so it will tell you to run for a minute then walk for two. Then the next week you will run for two minutes then walk one... so you get the drift. It gradually builds your endurance and is GREAT for people who are just getting into exercise.

I was planning on giving this a try when I get healed from my surgery :smile2: I think I saw a thread about this on the exercise forum too

I am at the end of Couch to 5K; I only have the last 45 minute run to do and I'm done! I'm moving on to training for a half marathon in December. Though the program does take effort, for me it has been a very gradual, easy way to work up to running a few miles nonstop.
