I too was wondering how you track it in your fitness section. Any suggestions? Im excited about trying it too!! And I just recently got a treadmill, can you do it on the treadmill or is outside better?

I just printed off instructions to the program too. I've been thinking about giving it a try.

There are all type of music genres for the podcasts. A friend of mine runs to podcasts filled with Christian songs...I prefer dance music myself.

Good luck on the program. I joined the program with similar goals as you...just to be able to run. I am now running 3 miles in 35 minutes. I have yet to run a 5K...maybe one day.

Thanks for the response! I have downloaded the podcasts, I was just trying to avoid them. I think the music's pretty obnoxious, but I think I'm going to try it.

You should also think about joining the Couch 25K team. The link is below along with the link to download the podcast.

You should download the podcast. You listen to the podcast for the Couch to 5k program while you are running. On the podcast, you are told when to start and when to stop. I hope this helps.

I want to try the Couch to 5k program www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml
 Not because I want to run a 5k, I just want to try running.

I don't have a treadmill and just plan on running in my neighborhood, but I'm not sure how to track the timing (run 60, walk 90). Has anyone else had any success in this? I'm thinking maybe using a stopwatch, but I'm afraid I'll get distracted/run into stuff.

Ideas? I appreciate your help.
