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 1 - Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.
Workout 2 - Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.
Workout 3 - Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.
Here we go!!
This blog was originally designed for me to use just as an outlet with all of things going on in life. It has since segued into an account of my weight loss journey.
