    It's "coach [potato] to 5k" - you can google it to get full details on how to start running safely.

    It means Couch 2 5 k. It is an app that you can put on your phone that trains you to run 5Km.:smile:

    It is an app for your phone or ipod (but can be a podcast for mp3 player) that will have set intervals that alternate between running/jogging and walking for 30 minutes at a time.

    C25K is Couch 2 5k.
    It is usually a 9 week training plan to help you run a 5k (3.1 mile) race.

    I have been on it for 7 weeks. I love it.

    It does really work! Last fall, several of my very non-athletic friends and I completed it, and ran a 5k together. I have never, ever, ever been a runner, but I did it! 5k without walking! If I can do it, anyone can--trust me on that! I am now working on the Ease into 10k program. It is such a challenge for me, but I really like it! I have several 5k's planned in the next couple of months to keep myself on track (not quite ready for a 10k yet). You can do it!

    Just checked out your blog - I am so impressed at your nerve. I can't say that I will be so brave. I start C25K today (it's raining ... but that's not unusual for the UK!)

    Well my start on this NHS community run was cancelled by heavy rain. However, I still attempted W1D1 with my Wii - Island Run followed by walk/jog sessions. Within the confines of my lounge, dining room and kitchen, I managed 15 minutes. Here's hoping the rain is gone by Saturday, when I will attempt it outside.

    I'm starting C25K.

    I (foolishly) signed up to do a 5km charity run at the end of August for the "Injured Jockeys Fund". th_omg.gif

    I signed up to do it because a friend of mine who is an amateur jockey suffered serious head injuries in a fall from a horse.
