What is Couch 2 5k?

The official plan consists of ever-increasing intervals of running, interspersed with fast walking. It also relies on rest days to allow your body to build strength. The official plan takes 9 weeks in total to get you from absolutely no running ability, to running 5K non-stop. Other similar plans are available that may take a longer or shorter time to complete.

Terrible prose makes me think its written by AI and with no copy editor.

Sometimes I’ll google a question and it’s a string of 20 “articles” in a row that bots remixed off an already AI generated article. Like the same information and structure but very slightly different wording.

The old “add reddit to the end of your search” trick, recent drama aside, is also in decline, since half the users are just astroturfing bots anyway.

It’s all just so lame

tl;dr:

  • don't look at your feet but 10-30 feet in front of you (5-10m ?)
  • stand upright, « run tall »
  • swing your arms but keep them to the sides, not in front of your belly
  • have the same rhythm and stride on both sides

Thanks for sharing this advice!
