Couch to 5K Podcast – A Guide for Every Run
If you’re just getting started as a runner or want to get back in shape, our Couch to 5K Training Plan may be just for you. A great addition to your training is this simple series of episodes designed to coach you as you run each session of the C@5K plan.
If you’d like an audio guide in your ear as you train for your 5K this podcast from the U.K. National Health Service (NHS) can be an invaluable partner for your journey.
Your host is Laura, and in each episode she actually tells you when it’s time to run and when it’s time to walk. It was originally published in 2012 but there’s really nothing that dates it or makes it less valuable.
If you are looking for a free and friendly way to assist with your 5K training, give the first episode a lesson and see if it’s for you.
