Couch to 5K Accountability Thread
nobo:
I think it would provide everyone a bit more extra motivation if you all signed up for 5k's a few months from now. Nothing like an upcoming race to keep you motivated.

Player 1, the preview explains it all. Green is run, black is to run, the week player 1 is in is week 2. He has run the first day of week 2.
Have fun :)

I'd wondered if we could keep it in the forum, but this'll work if others are interested. Thanks! And fun? The best part of it is the feeling when it's over, IIRC.

I use sports-tracker. Requires (?) a smartphone (or whatnot) with a GPS-receiver. You can upload your exercises to your account on the site, review the workouts on google maps, share them with your facebook friends and all that. If you are of the techie type, you can also collect data from a compatible heart rate monitor.

I've used a Polar HRM in recent years, and for other things, own a handheld GPS. The iPhone has the potential to converge those uses, but the sticking point for me was the requirement for a dongle on the iPhone to connect to the HRM belt. Haven't checked the state of the art for a few months.

If we all get through this and graduate, maybe the same 5k? Considering the roster so far, an event not far from the Channel?

If you don't like the music on the podcasts and have a smartphone, it looks like there are several C25K coaching apps out there that let you play your own music in the background. The official one is paid and published by The Active Network but there are lots of other versions too.
Redball:
I intend to check them out. I may not care for the offered music, but for exercise's sake, tempo and energy might be more important than whether I like it or not.
