[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started a couch to 5K program last fall, which starts off even lighter than that (1 to 1.5 minutes at a time, 20 minutes total).  It builds up from there. It was definitely effective, I could really tell a difference after just a few weeks: my stamina improved, my stomach started to tighten up, my calves became much firmer.

You may want to take a look at one of those programs. Even if you don't need to start at the beginning, it'll give you a good idea of how to build the time as you improve.  I liked having a goal to work towards each week, rather than just "run until I can't".[/quote]

This is great advice!

I agree that I too like having a plan versus just doing what I can or think I should do and with all exercise you need a plan of progression to see results and changes. If you go to the gym and do the same exercise with the same weights and same number or repetitions every week you will never see change.

Couch to 5K is a great plan and something that I have come back to at various times when I have fallen out of running shape. If you feel a week is hard don't be afraid to repeat it. [/quote]
