Couch to 5k

Going from this:

To this:( I just thought that this pic was to funny!)

This week I am feeling so much better! I took this week off so that I could get back into my eating habits and so I would be ready to start training for my 5k in January!!!! I was going to do the mayo clinics training, but then after the advice from a friend I deiced to do the couch to 5k training program. It sounds just like the thing I need to get ready for January.

Basically how it works is like this you run three days a week starting in small increments. Then on the off days your exercise is up to you. So this is how my schedule is going to look:

Monday: Running

Tuesday: Strength training Arms/ Shoulders with bands

Wednesday: Running

Thursday: Strength training Abs /upper body

Friday: Running

Saturday and Sunday Days of rest!

So I will post everyday to let you know how it is going hopefully. If anyone would like to do this with me I would love the support, just leave me a comment and I would love to support you as well!

This is how first weeks running is going to look like:

Brisk five-minute warm up walk.

Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging

and

90 seconds of walking

for a total of 20 minutes.
