This program is a nice way to get into running. I didn't take this route but know a few people who've completed it with great success. When I first started getting serious about my running, I would attempt to do 5k per day 3-4x/week. I basically ran as long as I could without slowing down to a pace. It took me roughly a month until the day I completed the run without stopping. Now I run 4.0mi/day 3-4x a week averaging high 30-low 40 minute completion times. 5ks aren't far fetched at all, especially in our age bracket. I did my first 5k last April while being extremely hungover. I finished the race by zoning out and locking my eyes on the assorted female asses.
I love the benefits from running, these include:
-Higher energy
-Better sleep
-Helps me focus more
-Higher self-esteem
-Fat falls off of you in 2 months
-MAD fine ass bitches at races
-Last ALOT longer in bed
I plan on doing a half-marathon within 3 months and full one before the end of this year. I'm no authority in running, but I'd love to help anyone here and share my experiences!
