C25K App…
Has anyone tried this app? What are your thoughts?
I, for one, am loving it. It’s a nine week, start-from-nothing training program that trains you to run a 5K, and then bridge to a 10K. It’s, for lack of a better word, awesome. It’s exactly what I needed: a regimented training plan of running and walking intervals. It even has audio cues that tell you to “run” or “walk”. It starts out with 60-second running/walking intervals, then week-by-week, graduates to 90-second, 3 minute, 6 minute, 8 minute intervals. The latter weeks are 20, 25, 30, 35 and finally 45 minute runs.
I’ve read awesome things about it. It’s a laid-back, minimal pressure program that requires a minimum of three days a week. I do an extra day each week, repeating one of the week’s workouts. It feels awesome, and I should be a little of three-fourths of the way to running a 5K by the time I go to Pars.
Perhaps a 10K by the end of the summer? Dream big, I guess.
Has anyone tried this?
