C25k podcast?

I am new to this site and have noticed a few people making refernce to a podcast for the couch 2 5k program which helps you know when it is time to stop running. Where do you download these?





First 5K- Run for the Cure- October 4th 2009

Long term goal- Half marathon in Disney 2011

Re: C25k podcast?

there are several downloads on this website.  It is great since you don't have to keep track of time. just change speed when told to.

You can find some podcasts at www.kissmyblackass.org, but be warned that there are very explicit lyrics in some of the songs.  There are also podcasts at http://www.ullreys.com/robert/Podcasts/

 

Good luck!

Re: C25k podcast?

WHen I was in trhe C25k program I preferred, at least for the first several weeks, to train without music so I could focus on my breathing, foot falls and pace. Also I was running on the road, so I wanted to be alert to what was going on around me. There is a silent podcast you can download, the name of which is escaping me right now, but that will come up if you do a search in te iTunes store for Couch to 5k. The name is Scandanavian, I think-- Ielosd or something like that. I loved it. All it is is a computerized voice cuing you when to walk and when to run. Very rarely it will offer bits of encouragement ("You're halfway there, keep going" "Congratulations, you're done with Week One Day One!"), mostly it's just, "Okay, it's time to start running" and "Slow down and walk for XX seconds/minutes." If you're running on the road for the first time and aren't sure what kind of traffic you need to be aware of, this is a great way to have your cues and still be able to clearly hear the world around you.
