Couldn't Get through W1D1 of C25K? There's is a program to help!

[mrzrich]

I tried C25k in the past, and I couldn't even do the first day. With over a hundred pounds to lose, I thought I'd never be able to attain my dream of becoming a runner.

Until I found Jeff Galloway's Condition Program. Its for really unfit people like me to condition us BEFORE we start 5K training. Its an 8 week program that starts with a 10 minute Walk/Run, with 55 sec walk, 5 sec run intervals. I love it!

After the eight weeks, I will then return to the C25k, hopefully, with the stamina I need to tackle it!

Is there music for this program?

I've tried C25K and failed. I'd like to start something with my son.

I haven't found music to go with it specifically, but I was able to get a 99 cent app off itunes that allows me to use my own music and set up the run/walk intervals myself.

I did find music

but it's expensive and i'm confused because there are too many options. not sure if you walk to the beat or if it cues you.

I think thats for his more advanced training intervals were you run a minute or more at a time. I'm doing his conditioning program, where you only run 5 seconds at the beginning and build up. Like I said...I'm REALLY unfit!
