PED 266 - Couch to 5 K


Every beginner worries about how to get started and has a lot to ask. Too many people have been turned off to running simply by trying to start off too fast. Their bodies rebel, and they wind up miserable, wondering why anyone would possibly want to do this to themselves. In this class, participants will follow a beginning running plan designed specifically for people just taking up running. It’s a 9-week plan that strategically alternates between walking and running and as your strength and stamina increases, the amount of time walking vs. running is adjusted accordingly. This course is designed to be done as an independent study and students will be required to electronically submit an exercise log each week.
