If I ran a mile every day for a week then every week increase the distance a little would that help me? Or would I be better off running for like 5 minutes then walk for 1 then do it again?
Answer
Either way would work, but the run walk system would be better and faster.
They say that in the beginning you shouldn't run every day. - just every other day. and not to run when sore. So the process starts off slow. They also say that you should increase your miles or minutes by no more than 5 - 10% a week. So the process takes a while. And finally they also say, for good health, you should aim for at least 150 minutes a week.
The couch to 5K program will meet all those goals and make it seem easy. It's a walk to run program and its one of the best.
The C25K program slowly increases your effort over 9 weeks. It requires 30 minutes three times a week. At the end of nine weeks you should be able to run for 30 minutes and/or 3 miles. I did it and I really liked the fact that I could see each week I was making progress and I never really felt like it was too hard.
Nowadays almost every runner has an iPod or something and one of the best ways to do the couch to 5K program is with them. If you donât have or want one Iâll talk about interval timers in the last paragraph.
There are lots of podcasts that are the C25K program that you can download to an Mp3 player. There is even a variety of music to listen to and help set your pace. Use this link http://www.c25k.com/ to view a good list of the C25K podcasts available or go to the iTunes Music store and search for âc25kâ.
Another way to do it is if you have an iPhone or an iPod touch, then you can download C25K apps. Most are free or cheap. I really like the âInterval Runâ app for $2. It is easy to use and is pre-programmed with the C25K and several other programs. Plus you can play your own music in the background.

If you donât want to bother with podcasts and Mp3 players then youâll need a sports watch with an interval timer. You might already have one. You might check your watchâs manual. If you need to buy one, the Casio W756-1A is only about $20. Another alternative is a GymBoss. All it does is time intervals but itâs much easier to program. Itâs also about $20.
