Podcast Description
Hi, my name is Robert and this is my podcast. I am 43 living in Northern California and on my birthday I decided to start running again. I am following the Couch to 5 K in 9 Weeks Running Plan from Cool Running.com and each of these podcasts will follow the weekly program. I made them for myself, and will be running along with you during each if these weeks.

Couch to 5K: Week Six | This is Week Six and program with again be another week of mixed running times. After each day's run begins with a Brisk five-minute warmup walk, Day one has a 5 minute run interval followed by 3 minutes of walking, an 8 minute run followed by 5 minutes walking, and a final 5 minute run. Day 2 has 2 intervals of 10 minute runs and a 3 minute walk between them, and Day 3 has one long 25 minute run with no walks. Each days runs end with a 5 minute cool down brisk walk. Like last week, to help us through this weeks program with only the one podcast, I have structured the cast around the first day’s runs. However, I will also announce when pace changes occur for Day 2 and the start and end of Day 3. This weeks program lasts about 36 minutes total. | 5/5/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Only one little thing I'd like to see changed...
I love this Podcast! I've just finished week one and I can hardly wait to start week two! I'm using it with the Nike+ package. This combo is a great motivator for me. The time goes by quickly! Since the warm-up and cool-down portions are part of each podcast, I'm not tempted to skip those important parts of the workout. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone that wants to follow the Couch to 5K plan. The only thing I'd like better is if there were 3 versions of each week -- each with different music. I got very sick of the week one music by the third run. This is a very minor issue and I wouldn't let it keep me from subscribing to this podcast.
This is just what I was looking for!!@!@!
I've found that a lot of Podcasts are for intermediate to advanced runners. This gives me a great starting point and awesome music to boot! Thanks Robert!
Perfect!
I LOVE this podcast!! The audio cues are excellent - now I'm not constantly looking at my watch and counting seconds, and his music choices are fantastic. Keep it coming!
