Last Friday, I completed the 8 week Couch to 5K program I started in January!
When I began the program my goals were complete all the training {three times a week for 8 weeks} and to be able to run a 5K in/under 30 minutes.
I’m happy to report that I completed all the training {24 walk/runs, just a little bit over 55 miles} and that I was close to accomplishing my second goal {3.08miles in 29:57}.
The biggest take away from doing the program is that I now have found a comfortable rhythm in my running and that it’s not something I dread three times a week. I’ve still got a long way to go but to keep up the running schedule I’ve established, I started couch to 10K yesterday {hopefully I’ll get to cross off #51 of my 101 in 1001 soon}!
Like I mentioned in my last post – I used the C25K trainer app {free for iPhones}. I highly recommend this app – it made training much easier and I felt like I had a personal coach with me the whole time.
Have you used the Couch To 5K training plan?

Cheers to completing the program! I’ve never heard of the 10k version, love it.
Yep! Same exact idea as the couch to 5K! I’ll be bypassing the first 8 weeks of the program {which is actually the couch to 5K workouts} so it will actually only be a six week program! 🙂
Do you know if they have the app for the droid phone? I could probably go look myself, lol.
Not sure! I just searched 5K and 10K in the App Store and found them! Let me know if you find them!
