My old (as in former, because being 30 something doesn't make someone old) supervisor used the Couch to 5K iPod app to train and sucessfully ran a 5K in St. Louis this spring. <br /><br />Tony, I am so proud of you for running. It's wonderful that running has had such a positive impact on your life (not just your health). Also, I love running, Jesus, and your posts!!!Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475856050872630706.post-91704704082892739262010-08-27T15:57:48.705-05:002010-08-27T15:57:48.705-05:00Comment to Christine: I *HIGHLY* recommend the Cou...Comment to Christine: I *HIGHLY* recommend the Couch to 5K iPod app. It is what I used when I started running last year and I still use it to this day when I want to do a shorter run. (I also use Nike Plus). The Couch to 5K is simple and easy to use, and you can play music in the background... it is so motivating and helpful. <br /><br />Comment to Tony: So you walked, big deal. (I say this because I walked much of the last few MILES of my half) ;) The point is that you didn't QUIT, you didn't stop, you pressed onward to the goal. (And beat your goal!) All the walking I did was because I *know* I didn't train well enough beforehand. I think the longest I ran before I attempted the half was... like seven miles. And yes, running is chock full (of peanuts! wait, no...) of great life metaphors. Train hard. Breathe. Relax. Enjoy. Keep your eyes on the prize. Above all, remember that we live in GRACE, not the law. If we need to walk, if we need to allow time for healing from an injury, it's all good... in fact, it is a MUST! :)Sondrahttp://www.refocusedlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475856050872630706.post-18399545081452658422010-08-25T22:21:37.271-05:002010-08-25T22:21:37.271-05:00This is a question only partially related to this ...This is a question only partially related to this post, do you know anything about any of these new Couch to 5K things (i.e., http://c25k.com/)? I looked at this awhile ago and reading your blog is starting to inspire me to run. I have friends who recently trained and did a 5K also, so it's all making me want to get off my butt and move. C25K has an app on the iPod, which is perfect for me. Anything you know or tips on choosing a plan are appreciated.Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16148762898623593472noreply@blogger.com
