Someone posted recently about this.
they made a reference to OAP?

What exactly is that?

I did not see in what context the abbreviation was used, but wikipedia says "Old Age Pensioner" ?? :happy:

If your referring to the iPhone app, Couch to 5K, its meant to guide you from not being able to run at all to being able to run 5k.
I have used it but because I wasn't at the "couch" stage i did my own regime.

Basically, its a 30 minute workout three times a week. 5 minute warm up and 5 minute cooldown then 20 minutes of jogging/walking in the middle (times depend on the day your on) week 1 is 5 min WU, 60 second jog, 90 second walking, 5 minute CD.

If you stick to it, it builds up the leg muscles, I didn't but like i said made a similar workout to this and last weekend I ran 6K!!

Its free so worth a look!
Good Luck

yes, the context it was used in would be helpful to decipher...I have not seen a reference made with C25K and OAP together..

"Well here I am, slumped in the chair. My face is beetroot red, my hair is matted to my head with sweat, my legs are quivering like jelly and there's a river running down my back.......but....... I DID IT!!!!!! I completed week one, day one of C25K burning a whopping 425 calories into the bargain. Note to self - wear different bra next time to stop those boobies swinging around so much -especially in the morning when all the OAP's are out walking their dogs where I'm attempting to run."

I asked the question in the thread.
But no one answered it?

I think maybe they meant "old age pensioners". Perhaps they were being ogled by old men???

OAP-other(or maybe older) active people? That's just a guess on my part.

Agree, this makes the most sense to me...
