Inspired by the plans developed by the Cool Running gurus, someone has created podcasts for the Couch-2-5k program!

Created especially for the “couch potato,” the Couch-2-5k podcasts are a free, downloadable podcast; each segment contains a full half-hour workout.  The podcast blasts “pump-up” music and prompts the listener what to type of movement to do, and when to do it (for example, walk for one minute, jog for one minute, stretch, etc.).  All the listener needs to provide is a track (oh how lucky, Vassar has two…).

This program is perfect for the novice athlete, or someone looking to get in shape, without a clue how to.  Who doesn’t love having their own personal trainer on their iPod?
