Guys, I figured I would post this here in case anyone wants to join in. I will post the plan for the week. If you want to join, just post your results below.
Taken from http://running.about.com/cs/forbeginners
Preparation:
1. Commit: Pick a 5K or 5 mile about 9 to 10 weeks from now - REGISTER! - Don't let negative nellies talk you out of it - maybe bet them on it or ask them to join.
2. Are You ready?: Clear plan with DR.
3. Purchase running gear: Good shoes are important - you may also want a good watch.
4. Map out running courses of 1 mile, 2 miles, 3 miles, 4 miles, 5 miles and 6 miles. Avoid heavy traffic.
5. Go easy at first - first 3 weeks critical. You will feel soreness and fatigue - DO NOT GIVE UP - this will go away! Take it easy so you don't experience too much discomfort and give up - THIS IS A JOURNEY NOT A RACE!
WEEK 1
GOAL: Jog 1 mile without stopping.
Remember to: Warm up adequately, jog at a pace that allows comfortable conversation. When you are too tired, walk until you are ready to run again. Just walking at first is fine - BABY STEPS! Also, after the run, warm down.
Each outing: Try to run a little farther nonstop.
Don't panic: IF you miss a workout. Just try to make up for it on one of your free days.
DAY 1: Walk/Jog 1 mile
DAY 2: Walk/Jog 1 mile (you may be a bit sore today 0 - take your time)
DAY 3: Walk/Jog 1 mile
Day 4: REST! YOU EARNED IT!
Day 4: Jog 1 mile - Can ya? If not, do the best you can without causing excess discomfort.
Day 6: Jog 1 mile - Can ya? If not, do the best you can without causing excess discomfort.
Day 7: REST! WELL DONE!
Keep repeating this week until you can jog 1 mile relatively comfortably. Then move on to week 2.
Week 2: We will improve our 1 mile pace and complete our first 2 mile.
