C25K without phone app?

I do it with a watch. If you have access to a treadmill, use the timer on that.

Do you have an mp3 player? I did c25k by down loading podcasts and uploading the mp3 to my phone, but any mp3 player will work. I used this site www.c25k.com/podcasts.htm I didn't love the music but it was the easiest way to get me running without a smartphone. Hope this helps and good luck!

Same here. Didn't care for the music either. I usually just down the music low enough or use 1 earpiece to hear when I am supposed to run or walk.

HI

Did mine by reading up on the idea behind the programme and just listening to music and listening to my body, doing the running / walking bit. Ran my first 10 K 12 weeks after my first run. So must have done something right, good luck

This is how I did it the first time. The music is kind of crazy, but I think it's more designed to provide a comfortable rhythm to help you breathe and pace yourself.

If you google free c25k podcasts you can find them in any genre imaginable. I agree with the above posters about some of the music. Thankfully about halfway through I explored the web and found some even worst and some really great podcasts. My phone is bulky so I prefer running without it. About once a month I will take it so I can track my distance and pace. Let's me see an improvement which I find encouraging.

That's how i started before the smart phone!

I would write down my run on a post-it and use my watch as my timer. Worked okay for me!

I've tried the C25k phone app, but I had better success with the Run Fat B!tch, Run method. Ruth Fields, the author, has you create a 3 mi loop from your front door, through your neighborhood, and back (I prefer a park near my home that has a 1 mi loop already). You do a 10 minute warm-up walk, run for 5 minutes, then finish your 3 mi. She provides a whole weekly schedule, but what I did was just try to tack on a minute or so more each time I ran. I was up to 12 minutes non-stop and then I switched to the phone app, but I'm going back to the Run Fat B!tch, Run way because I was more successful at it.
