C25K - Running

[John Futrall]

So I started running the week after Christmas, and used the C25K app to motivate/train me during this time. I started the walk/jog combo during week 1 and worked up to running in my very first 5K this past Saturday in Little Rock. After not having run a 5K race since high school (22 years ago), I ran from start to finish, never walked, and ended up with a time of 30:08.4! 

For those that are runners, this is an excellent app for an 8 week training time frame, and I think they have apps similar to this for longer distances (10K, 1/2 mar, etc.)

I'll have to look into this app, ive been trying to get back into running and possibly running some 5k's.

I have used that app and it worked great for me. Just can't get 8 straight weeks at home with this job I got

It's an absolutely great program that can get just about anyone running a 5k in only 9 weeks.  I've used it several times as preparation for my annual PT test.  I use the mobile app and it's got great cues and even plays my running playlist.  I'm on week 3 now.  Once I get my endurance back up to where it needs to be I'll implement speed workouts to improve my time.
