I recommend Ullrey's podcasts

Fair play to you all, I can't run/jog due to a hip injury that is long term.

Lovely to see so many people so interested in getting fit

Weights will help me, I'm severely double jointed, so need to build up muscle to make up for lack of cartilage In my younger pre hip injury days I used play rugby, twas great. I need to do weight bearing exercise due to the double jointed ness but have to be careful of the hip. Thankfully my three legged dog has to be walked at high speed.

Love cycling too, and rowing machines, rowing machines are my favourite. Planning to get a personal trainer, then enough kit at home for weights and rowing that I'm not time constrained, I spend a lot of time in work/commuting so that will work for me

Commuting's the only chance I get for exercise at all. 28km round trip on the bike 5 days per week. Should do...

I see that week 5/6 in the NSH C25k has three seperate podcasts, is that for some extra motivation in case they give up just over half way?

Thanks bluewolf!

There are 3 podcasts cos there are three different routines for weeks 5 and 6, you run different things each day
Ullrey just keeps it all in one

I only downloaded the program yesterday.
I can treadmill run no problem, but road running i just cant do.
Will be coming on this thread loads now

[Lynnsie]

I really want to start this and have downloaded podcasts, now I just need to find somewhere that's safe to run while it's still dark in the evenings and isn't broken up by traffic lights every 2 minutes Roll on summertime!

[Dinkie]

I'd like to do this as well.

I was on W4D1 a couple of weeks ago but gave it up as I was hating running in the cold (good excuse, yes??).

I need something to get my ass in gear again.

I really need to go back to week 3 as I was managing it, but still struggling. I'll start that this week.

Thanks OP. Great idea.

The podcasts... on your ipod if you have one... tells you when to walk and when to run.

[Snoopy1]

So can you listen to music at the same time as the podcast?

Some podcasts you just put your own music on the playlist and it'll beep to tell you when to switch
Some like ullreys, they come with music on them already and he just talks over it when telling you "time to run now" or "time to walk now"
