I copied the table from here: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml" href="http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml">http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

where there is more info, there's even an iphone app to help you track your runs and follow the plan. But it costs $1.99 and I'm cheap, so I'll probably just track it on my phone in notes or something haha :p I've also read that if you finish one week but you don't feel ready to move to the next week, you can repeat that week again before moving forward.

So, anyone game? :p I find this kind of stuff always works better when you've got someone other than yourself to be accountable to. It's easy to make excuses to yourself and justify it.. but if you've got to report it to someone else, the pressure is oooon! I also want to come up with some workout playlists that correspond with the times for each workout to make it more fun. Post your workout playlists if you've got any!

(idk why there is a giant gap... scroll down .___________.)

If I wasn't currently melting I'd defo be keen.. Haha I wonder if I can run without killing my ankle yet :/ 

Haha :p I suppose you could do it indoors on a treadmill, assuming your ankle isn't dead :p

Also, I forgot to post a picture of my workout buddy Winnie... look how active she isssss! lmao

I did this earlier this year when I decided to do the Color Run. I ended up having to stop halfway through it because I was getting terribly bad shin splints and ended up not being able to walk for about 3 or 4 days. BUT: The app that we did, was actually pretty awesome. It has you running until you think you can't run anymore and then it goes down to the walking and then when you feel like your better, it goes back up to a run. and its rather interesting, because by the time I stopped, I was running 15 minutes straight without having to stop when I was probably one of the laziest people ever before starting it. I would like to try again, but 1. it requires time, and 2. my legs wouldn't allow it haha.

Good to know, thanks for the info!! I don't think I've ever had shin splints myself, but I know my brother used to get them pretty bad.. He's a competitive tennis player, though I don't think he gets them anymore.. That's awesome that you were running 15 minutes straight though! I definitely cannot do that right now, which is a bit embarassing haha :p I'm pretty strong, but my cardiovascular fitness definitely needs improvement. Maybe, if you want to do it again, you could adjust it so it's not as intense so you don't hurt your legs again?

Honestly, Its probably something I should get looked at (I don't like doctors...lol) because it still hurts, even 6ish months later when the weather changes or if I suddenly fast walk anywhere for longer than a minute. (such as tonight, on campus rounds, walking for an hour has left my ankle feeling like its going to fall off haha.) But I definately do want to try again when I have more time...or atleast like, go on walks or something haha.

My husband uses runkeeper...i believe its free or he wouldnt use it..

Anyways his actually has like activity things where it tells you what to do each day...i just checked and it is free :)

He is up to 8miles now...

This is an amazing program! I ran four years of track in college and am currently coaching track at a high school. I am not a distance runner by any means (I jump) but I did this program before and it really does work! 

If you have any questions about the program or running or anything feel free to shoot me a message

Woo! Thanks everyone! I did find a free version of the app, so I will see how it goes. Apparently you can unlock achievements with this one, which I will be totally into haha. I'm planning to start this tomorrow, going for my first workout before work. I think I will do Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, that seems to make the most sense? Either that or Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday... So if anyone else wants to start, Nov 9 officially marks week 1 for me haha

Wonderland: I will definitely message you with questions! I've always dreamed of myself being a runner, idk why, but I've never actually put in the time to make it happen. I try to work out regularly, but never in a set program like this..

A friend of mine hates running in public so she did the c25k on her treadmill and she said it really was amazing. I want to do it!

I think my sister tried this....

I myself employed the actual couch-to-5k where I trained 2.5km once the week before then ran a 5k for the Ottawa Race Weekend...I came in 2nd in my family behind my sister.

Awesome mame!

I failed at starting on sunday, I was super tired after work, I just couldn't do it xD BUT I did my first workout earlier this afternoon with Winnie! So I'm going to stick to the Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday schedule. And the app I have is awesome! The audio cues are great.
