Couch25k! Week 1

Couch25k is a 9 week training program designed to get anyone from being a couch potato to running a 5k.
The best part about it is that it's a slow introduction to get you moving. It alternates between walking and running slow distances. Each week is a little more intense. By the 9th week, I should be ready to run either 5 kilometers or at least 30 minutes non-stop. I am excited to do this and will be doing so with the help of a couple of friends in my neighborhood. We're doing it together. 


All that is required is 3 days per week and 20-30 minutes per session.


Here is what's in store for week 1:
Workout 1Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.
Workout 2Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.
