I am using the “Couuch to 5K” (or C25k) running program to help prepare for the ICHS 5K in April. It is a 9 week program that takes you from walking to running a 5k.
Here is more information: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml
I have found it helpful to download download Robert Ullrey’s C25k podcast. You will find it available to download for free on iTunes, or you can also find it here: http://www.ullreys.com/robert/Podcasts/page4/files/category-7.html
I will blog my progress to preparing for a 5k based on using this program.
Here is a link to the program:
