FI and I just completed day one of Couch to 5K!  We had a few glitches - it started raining right when we got outside and we forgot to turn our self-made 1 min/90 sec interval playlists on our iP

FI and I just completed day one of Couch to 5K!  We had a few glitches - it started raining right when we got outside and we forgot to turn our self-made 1 min/90 sec interval playlists on our iPod OFF of shuffle (that was difficult to figure out in the rain), BUT we did it.  Yay!

Congrats!

If either of you has an iphone, there are several apps you can download to make the interval tracking much, much easier.  It'll cost you a dollar or two, but it'll tell you when to run and when to walk each time.  I probably wouldn't have stuck with it if I had to track that stuff myself.

Congratulations!

I wish I could get FI in on something like that with me. He is so resistant! :(

Congrats!  i love that program.  I'm reusing it now to work on speed.

I get my interval mixes free from http://www.djsteveboy.com/podrunner.html

He's a tad techno but I do like the loud and hard to miss interval switch buzzer.

Good JOB! We downloaded the free Couch 2 5k podcasts from iTunes. They have bad music already on there to monitor your walks/runs. And there's a new podcast each week! Good luck!!
