I am thinking of running a 5k in October. I have never ran a race before, and I am not a runner. I am in need of losing 85 pounds, and although I can walk 2 or so miles I'm not so sure about running 3.1 but hey...why not?! I think its a great goal to set, and might just give me the motivation I need. So, today I am starting the Couch to 5k program in preparation for the big day. This should take me 9 weeks to complete, and there are 14 1/2 weeks until the race. Of course it might take me a little longer than 9 weeks, but its a great start. Wish me luck, I'm off to complete day 1.
Post run update:
Day 1 went great. I'm posting a pic below of my treadmill screen. The walk/run was a 5 min. walk to start with then I alternated 60 seconds jogging with 90 seconds walking for the next 20 minutes. The schedule stops at 25 minutes, but I decided to walk an additional 5 minutes to cool down.
