I downloaded and listened to my very first podcast this week. I read about the Couch to 5K program on Weight Watchers website, Googled it and found this site.
Robert leads you through the workout with background music. I walked and ran with the first week podcast where you warm up, run for 60 seconds, walk for 90 seconds, back and forth. It was pretty good music.
I only got my iPod Shuffle a few months ago, so was excited to try a podcast on for a change. My favorite running songs seem to be from Pink’s I’m Not Dead album lately.
Of course it took me 10 minutes to find the podcast on my shuffle, so I ended up doing 41 minutes on the treadmill for a total of 3.15 miles and burned 430 calories.
He recommends a day of rest in between the sessions, but I’m going to spin class tomorrow.
Now maybe I’ll be able to work up to actually doing a 5K this year.
