C25k workout questions...

[MrsDRock]

I've seen the C25k program, but when you do this, do you wear a stopwatch so you know 60 sec jogging/90 sec walking intervals?
Do you consistently bring the speed up/down, and time it all out?

It seems like a lot of work to constantly change your speed and then watch the # seconds before you need to change it again (walk vs. run), but I'd like some thoughts on it!

Here is the link to a podcast you can transfer to your MP3 player with great music and a voice telling you when to run/walk. Makes it much more easy to manage.

The podcast is a good idea.
When I did it I just winged it the first couple of weeks. When the intervals got longer I timed myself on a watch.
I am not sure what you mean by "bring the speed up and down" I run outdoors so when I run I run when I walk I walk. Do you use a threadmill?

There is a couple of C25K threads in this forum. Look at the one Clogger started. Most of the people in that thread used thread mills.
