Couch to 5K training program

If you would like a special challenge this spring, then “Couch to 5K” (C25K) may be for you.  This program is designed to take almost anyone from the couch to completing a 5K (3.1 miles) in nine weeks.  You just need to commit to training 30 minutes a day, three days a week, at a time that works for you.

You will receive a training plan and weekly emails with tips and encouragement for those times when you may need that extra nudge.  For those who want to test their new running skills, the training program will end in time to participate in the 56th Annual Drake Road Races on Sunday, April 21.  The race is completely optional, but a great goal!

If you are interested in this challenge, please send an email to linda.feiden@drake.edu. The training program will begin on Monday, Feb. 12.
