The couch to 5k program starts you walking 5 minutes to warm up and then you spend the next 20 min. alternating from 90 seconds walking / 60 seconds running. I'm on the last day of a three-day conference in NYC, and smack in the middle of my conference, I started running at 7 am on the treadmill in Marriott Brooklyn, yesterday morning.
On my way to the train station, I turned around a few minutes from my house to go back for my exercise gear, so I would have the option to do them gym. I didn't know then that I would actually use the gym and I certainly didn't know I'd start couch25k. I downloaded the app last week, so I guess I have been moving inn this directly slowly, but moving none the less.
I took it slow, walking at 3.0 for the warm-up. When the running time came, I increased speed to 4.0. I watched the timer count backwards, and, one minute at a time, I found myself with sweat rolling off my reddened face, moving one foot and then the other to the beat of the treadmill. Thirty minutes passed. I was dizzy when I got off the treadmill, but elated I did it,
