Tell us about your personal experience with Running as a treatment: Has it worked? Have you had any issues? Any recommendations or tips?

When I was trying to become a runner for awhile, I was on a mission (I cannot run anymore). Although I didn\'t use it, I highly recommend the Couch to 5km plan http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml I know a lot of people with great success who have used it.

I think im digging that start up running rutine. It is a little intimidating tho, because i am the ultimate couch potatoe. So if i were to extend it, say 2 weeks each cycle(6 workouts per \"level\" instead of 3) that\'d be ok wouldnt it?

of course! any step in the right direction is a positive one.

Hi!

I\'m coming back from a recent knee injury/surgery and even for me the \"Couch to 5K\" is helping me get back into running... Just remember to apply the workouts to YOUR needs/goals...noone else is in those running sneakers but YOU!!!

First off - why in the hell are you putting this shit on this group - it has nothing to do with heroin addiction and recovery. This is a support group, not an advertisment on how to make money - find some place else to push your bs.

thanks greeneyes, i sent Daily Strength an email about this, and also sent this woman a message about her lack of common sense and brains. If anyone else reads this, I encourgage that they too send a message to DS about how unacceptable and innappropriate her behavior is.

She has put this recommendation on a number of other groups on DS, so hopefully something will be done about it.
