"From The Couch To 5K Runner - Here's 5 Simple Steps You MUST Take
Before Starting Any 5K Training Schedule..."

Starting a 5k training schedule may well be one of the best things you
ever do. If you have the motivation to tear yourself away from your
couch to 5k running, then you can realistically expect to see the

You'll lose weight fast and tone up
* You'll gain loads of energy
* You'll feel good about yourself
* You'll have more confidence
* You'll live a longer, healthier life

However before you do get started in any shape or form, there are 5
important steps you must take first: -

Step #1 - Get a Check Up From Your Doctor or a Physiotherapist

If you're in your early twenties and fit as a butchers dog, it's
probably unlikely that you'll need any medical intervention, although
anyone over the age of 40 and going from spending too much time on
their couch to 5k training will need a full health check.

Getting any old injuries checked over is another story however. You can
be affected by this at any age. I've seen more beginners sidetracked
after just a few runs because of some type of injury or another. So if
you have any niggles such as back pain, sore ankles or weak knees, then
this one's a must... you'll thank me later!

Couch To 5K Step #2 - Planning and Goal Setting

A 5k training schedule that has no destination or end goal to focus on
won't be an easy or quick one. If you know where you're going, IE 'I'm
going to run the 'New York' 5k on September 11th this year, and plan
your training back from this point, IE `I will be able to run a mile
without stopping in 3 weeks time and 2 miles in 5 weeks from now,' then
this is far more likely to be achieved.

Here's a copy of a goal setting form you can use to take you from the
couch to 5k runner within just a few weeks - Goal setting form

Kate Rowlands "I started running about 4 months ago as part of a plan
to lose weight.

I soon became addicted and enjoyed the challenge and the buzz of being
outdoors.

After a few weeks I entered a 5K race but had no real idea of how I
should go about my training in a progressive manner. I started to use
this 5K running plan which I found was detailed and structured not only
in terms of what to do on a daily basis but also on a weekly countdown
to the race date.

This was perfect for me as it allowed me to stretch myself on each run
and also to get the benefits of cross-training at the same time. The
Plan also provided me with the essential background to effective
training as a runner and why each different approach such as fartlek
was beneficial.

I have used other running programmes from official websites but
generally found them to be very vague. These websites would often make
statements such as `run for 20 minutes' without detailing on which day,
for how long and at what pace?

Using the 5K plan was effective and identified a goal on each run or
cross training activity which helped me to stay motivated.

Without using this effective guide I would probably still be running
one minute off and one minute on and hoping for the best!"

Kate Rowlands

Step #3 - Preparation

Preparation is usually the hardest part of any task. Think about
painting your house as an example. You have to wash down, fill and rub
over any timber work, select and buy the colours you need first and
then clear out the room before you even get started.

Going from your couch to 5k training is no different. Being organised
at the start makes the rest of the journey much easier.

Try to plan around any of these other possible factors first: -
* Can you spare the time, are there times in the day or week you have
free or will you need to arrange cover at work, hire a babysitter
etc

* Are your family or friends likely to suffer because you're going to
start running? If so can you allocate other times to spending with
them or could they get involved too?

* Is the route you're planning on using safe to run, is it well lit,
does it have pavements would you feel comfortable running on it
when it's dark or wet for example.

* Do you know anyone who could be your 5k training buddy to provide
you with some company, keep you motivated or provide a little
competitive edge?

* Have you got the right type of running shoes, can you afford to buy
any right now?

These are some of the questions you need to ask yourself before
getting off your couch to 5k running. Find out more about how to
prepare to train for a 5k run here.

Couch To 5K Step #4 - Choosing the Right Running Shoes

This is very important. If I could have a dollar for every time
someone's come to me with an injury or niggle which is related to their
running shoes, I'd be a very wealthy man.

This is probably the most important step to get right when starting any
type of 5k training schedule... so choose your running shoes
practically.

Don't get hung up on colour or design. They should fit properly and
support your feet correctly. It's as simple as that. You may need a
specialist running store to make sure you get the right shoes. Go here
to find out how to choose the best running shoes to help you go from
couch to 5k runner.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
