The Couch-to-5K Running Plan on FacebookC25K Gear Now Available.CLICK HERE!The Couch to 5k in 9 weeks running programC25K, is a fantastic program that's been designed to get just about anyone from the couch to running 5 kilometers or 30 minutes in just 9 weeks.With the help of the Couch to 5k program, In less than seven months, I went from a 47 year old, 104kg, 30 cigarettes a day sort of guy to an 82kg, 0 cigarettes, running 45 to 50 kilometers a week sort of guy. Ten months after finishing C25K I completed my first marathon. Since then I have run another 5 marathons, as well as 9 ultra marathons including three over 100km.And I'm not the only one, C25K has been responsible for getting thousands of couch potatoes up and running.Its secret is that it's a gentle introduction to getting the body moving, starting off alternating between walking and running small distances, and slowly building up until after 8 weeks, you're ready to run 5 kilometers or 30 minutes non stop.The reason for putting this site together is to try to create the definitive Couch to 5k resource on the web.
