An Accidental Athlete

I've recently taken on the challenge of a couch to 5K program. This book came along at the perfect time. I'm getting ready to go into week 5, day 3 on the program. Prior to this you walked, then ran, then walked, then ran etc. gradually increasing your time running. The upcoming run though is walk 5 minutes then run 20 minutes. YIKES.

Bingham's book helped me to understand that I have to run to my ability. On the next run I may or may not be able to run a full 20 minutes. I hope I do but if I don't I know that sometime soon I will.

Thank you Mr. Bingham for giving me courage. In so many ways you've described me and what it's like to become an adult onset athlete.
