AHHHHHHHHH Yes! They had something very similar that I did through runners world magazine.THAT makes sense
I was afraid you were doing some 25K in california- I was thinking of reeling you back in
It does work- one lesson I learned on my first 5k.... review the route at least once before race day.
I trained and trained and I was good for about 5.5K of steady forward motion resembling a jog (but more like a ramble -I was 240 at the time) I get to the start line and I am pumped and jacked and ready to roll- up hill for a good quarter mile right at the start.I had no idea
that 1/4 mile zapped 25-30% of my energy and I had to take a walk break near the end. Ended at 30:19
Ill say this thou- Its all about that first 5k t-Shirt

I remember when I started: 2 mins walk 30 second jog- repeat for 2 weeks
How did your first day go:)What did you do?
Im proud of you stud!!!!!!!!!!!
I just bought dumbells on Sat (a cheap 40 lb set at Kmart- $25)

I'm listening to a series of NHS C25K podcasts (thank you UK taxpayers!) to let me know when the intervals change. Last night it was 60 seconds of jogging and 90 of brisk walk.
You're going to outgrow those dumbbells in no-time flat. Do you have a used sporting goods store near you? Those or garage sales are the best way to pick up weights on the cheap.
I really do hope to "Outgrow" those dumbells- A great way to see actual progress.
I took my shirt off in semi-public for the first time on sat nite- not "embarrassed" anymore but need work on the damn love handles
Guess if I dont work on them now I never will.
How long did you run/ walk for - or was it the entire 5k distance?

Five minute warm-up at a brisk walk, then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of brisk walking for a total of 20 minutes, then a five minute cool-down. Repeat two more times for the first week (being sure to allow for a day of rest between) and then next week is 90 seconds of jogging and 2 minutes of brisk walking... And so on until you're eventually running the whole thing.
The only thing I'm worried about is shin splits and my knees. So far, so good!
