RE: Couch to 5k – I need some help or input from runners and non-runners
Starting slow.
YES!! Abso-f-ing-loutly.
I'm planing on getting participants to run 6 days out of 7. That's right.
But each session is super easy, and builds on the previous one. I'm borrowing bits and pieces from all over the place, and adapting them to suit what I think are those people who are never going to cope with running for 10 minutes on their first day.
And the running will be the little old man shuffle. I'm not planning that they'd be entering a 5k race at the end of it. But that they would want to enter a 5k race and then start training for one.
You won't get them enthused about doing that if all they do is hurt. :-)
