Training > Couch to 10K

Danny Haralson's Couch to 10K in 10 weeks (5K in 7)

This is a simple formula for a beginning (or re-starting) runner to go from no exercise to completing a 5K (and a little beyond).

You must follow the instructions exactly! The reason for this is two-fold: most people decide they are going to run and go out and 'knock out' 4 or 5 miles and the next day they feel terrible and it's easy to not go back-or they stick it out, do too much too soon and injure themselves. So, in this program run no MORE and no LESS than it calls for, then after about 10 weeks you will be kicked out of the nest. Try to pick out an upcoming race and use it as a 'goal day' or target race, this will help keep you focused. Again, follow the program EXACTLY and have fun because you are on the right path to a lifetime of fitness.
