| Fitness | Starting Couch to 5K Run...Any Joiners? | Nov 21 2007 02:17 (UTC) |

| Hi, just wanted to wish you good luck! I'm a big believer in the Couch-to-5K plan. I myself am in the middle of week six. I was skeptical at first (I really thought that my limp little legs were hopeless) but now I swear by it. It's an excellent program. They do, however, state on their site that even if you feel like you can do more, you should stick with the plan. Once in a while (especially during the first week), you may get a little irked by the fact that you can only run one minute at a time but doing it their way works out really well. One question I always had, though, was that they say "for twenty minutes total" and I could never be sure if that included the warm-up or if it was just the workout so, to be on the safe side, I always threw an extra five minutes on there. | |||
