So today we started our first actual workout of C25K. We’re using a treadmill since we have a huge sticker problem out here in the ‘Wood… Anyway, having played soccer for a good 9/10ths of my life, I really never thought I’d be this out of shape. I mean physically, I’m not so bad, but my cardio really sucks! But once I got going, I really started getting into it. I finished my first workout without any injuries and actually feel great! It’s been a while since I’ve done ANY running, so this is kinda getting back to the basics/roots for me.
I’m using Robert Ullrey’s podcast designed specifically for the program I’m running. The levels could be adjusted a bit to make his voice a little clearer (the music kinda overtakes his bits). But all in all, it’s a great way to run, as I don’t have to look at a watch to know when my intervals kick on and off. He did a really great job and I know alot of people have used his podcast to get started in running.
For more information about the Couch to 5k, or C25K, visit coolrunning.com and check out the program! It’s set up for ANYONE to get started in running and living a more active lifestyle. Really cool program, and I’ll keep updating as the program goes along - my goal is to enter a jingle run in december - 5k of course.
