Couch to 5k

[Anonymous]

Np here. I just want to thank everyone for all of the posts about this program. I finally started when the kids went back to school and am on week 2. I was never an athlete and have never been in shape. But I really like this program and am finally motivated to exercise on a regular basis.

OP - can you share a link for the app you're using??

I'm not the OP, so I'm not sure what particular app they used. You can find links to the official apps here, http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml, but there are others that will work as well. I actually just downloaded some of the podcasts that had the timing included and used those when I did the program. Since then, I've switch to using Endomondo to track my runs.

I'm currently on week 5 of the 100 pushups program, although I've spent two weeks on weeks three and four. I'm not sure how far I'll make it, but I'm still aiming at the 100 mark.

I would like to use the couch to 5K, but it isnt supported for my Gen 2 Ipod touch.

I'm on week 4. It's awesome.

To PP -- it is really nice having the ap, but if you're really interested it definitely wouldn't been too hard to do it just using the timer on your phone. Look up that day's workout online, tape a post-it on the back of your Touch with the times to start walking and running , and get going!

I didn't use an app at all when I did the program. I bought a tiny mp3 player and used the podcasts downloaded from here, http://www.c25k.com/podcasts.htm, to time my runs. After I finished the program, then I started using an app to track my time and distance, but that was for my own interests, not out of necessity.
