I've seen a lot of stuff talking about Couch to 5k

What is it?

    If you google it, you will find a step by step guide to get running. Literally from couch potato status to running a 5K without overdoing it or burning out. It is free. I have done it before and it worked fabulously. I really like to follow a plan, so I don't have to think of it myself.

    It is a running program that you can download to your ipod/mp3 player and over 9 weeks gets you from not running to running 5 km nonstop. It slowly builds up your running each week with different walking/running intervals.

    Hope that helps.

    It is a great program, I've done it before and once my leg is better I will be doing it again.

    I have a friend doing it right now - apparently it's really great! I was thinking about trying it - I certainly am a 'couch potato' so hopefully I can be a runner some day
