I'm new to the couch to 5 k program. My first day is tomorrow.

I've searched high and low for a good podcast for the workouts but have only been able to find music that I'm not that in to. I thought it might be fun to start a thread where everyone can posts links to the podcasts they have found helpful.

I'm using Robert Ullreys podcast, most of the time. Sometimes I swich to podrunner. And on very special occasions I create my own mp3 with sound qeues in them.

Robert Ullreys

Podrunner

The Chubby Jones Podcast is definitely different than the electronic music of Ullrey and Podrunner. You can listen to Week 9 on the website first to see if you like it or not. Wish I would have found it sooner. Songs are not edited for radio.

This one has no music, just cues when to run.

There's a hip hop podcast too. You can see what tracks are on this one before you give it a try. The songs are not edited for radio.

There is a Christian Podcast too.

If you're feeling ambitious, you can make your own using Audacity! Just Google "use audacity to create podcasts" to learn how.

Chubby Jones sounds nice! Maybe I use it for my last two weeks

.

I have the podcasts that are voice only. I run two music players on my phone, one for the voice only C25K podcast for the current week, and another for streaming Internet radio.

I have a podcast for each of the nine weeks of voice only start/end/info prompts, based on timing of coolrunning.com.

If anyone wants these, I can post them in an hour or so when I get to the office. I can't remember where I found them.

Ok, Uploading now...I'll post a download link when its down.

There are 9 MP3 files, one for each week. On weeks where the three days are different, the prompts will tell you Week 3, Day 1 Stop Running, Week 3 Day 2, Start Running, etc at the correct times.

Download Links:
Week 1
Week 2
Week 3
Week 4
Week 5
Week 6
Week 7
Week 8
Week 9

Note that you can merge these files with your own music with many audio editors out in the wild. I am able to run two music players at the same time on my phone, so one plays a C25K Week, and the other plays or streams music.

Cheers!

You're welcome! C25K is much more entertaining with your own music.
