Do you want to start running? Do you want to get back into it? Following this modified C25K program will have you ready to run a 5K at A Midsummer Night’s Run!
Couch to 5K is usually abbreviated C25K. And, to put it in simple terms, it changed my life. It is the program I used to start running. And I can’t even count the number of people I know who have used it. The program uses timed intervals of running and walking that build until you can run a 5K. You can use a stopwatch or the clock on a treadmill or an app on your phone or iPod. It typically takes 9 weeks program to go from “couch” to “running a 5K.” I think it assumes that your run pace is a little quicker than reality, so I’ve stretched it into 12 weeks for you.
The program will start on May 13th. The group will meet every Sunday at 4pm at a variety of locations around town. In addition to the Sunday group run, the program will have you run/walking twice during each week.If you want to get a head-start on the program, start walking for 30 minutes a day to build your base.
Be on the lookout for more information for Couch to 5K coming out over the next few weeks!

I’m very interested in joining you ladies. I’ve done very little running over the years but I do walk 2.5 miles daily with my husband. Do I have to do anything to join you on the 13th? Or just show up?
Thanks!!
