    Couch to 5K is a running program for beginners. You can download it to your Ipod and it will give you a running program for 9 weeks I believe. It gives background music and the guy tells you when to walk and when to run.

    It's supposed to take anybody (even if you've never ran) and get them able to run a 5K after completing the program. I tried it once but gave up quickly, however I have since discovered that I am just not able to run outdoors (the hard pavement hurts my legs, my asthma is much worse). I do plan to try it again but indoors and on a treadmill. Lots of people have had success with it, though some have to go at their own pace, repeating weeks if need be, etc.
