Has anyone here heard of something called "Couch to 5K"? I've seen some folks on FB discussing it.

I'm thinking of trying it - might actually get me back to the gym.

I do the Couch to Bed program nightly -- nm - con_carne May 28, 08:33
yeah, I did it several years ago and definitely built up to being able to run more than 5k easily. - Callisto May 28, 08:31 8
- I bought running shoes (at Costco) 2 weeks ago, with the thought that I'm going to try and start jogging. - JaxSean May 28, 08:38
- Yeah, I'm not sure my knees can handle it - but I'd also think that getting in better shape (something I haven't tried in a few months now) would help - kelly May 28, 08:33 6
  - running is really hard on your knees, legs, etc. Lots of impact. - Callisto May 28, 08:37 5
    - I switched to rollerblading for this reason (it was my hips more than my knees). Much better. -- nm - pmb May 28, 08:41 1
      - Yeah, lots less impact. -- nm - Will Hunting May 28, 08:43
    - Yeah - well, we'll see. If I try it at first and it's just too much, I'll stop. - kelly May 28, 08:41 2
      - yeah, just be careful. - Callisto May 28, 08:44 1
        
        Oh yeah, mine make noises like that going up and down the stairs!! :) -- nm - kelly May 28, 08:47
i did a program like that, it started very slowly, and worked. - Andie May 28, 08:29
