Hubby and I are planning to do the 5k. This will require lots of training since we are both quite out of shape.
Yay for you guys! Have you checked out any of the "couch to 5K" training programs, apps, websites, etc? I followed a walk/run plan from coolrunnings.com and it was terrific. Don't be afraid to repeat weeks, especially if you're coming from a very low fitness level. There are many systmes in the body that have to get into shape; bones, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, LUNGS (my biggest weakness)...and that's all before you get to the muscles! So take your time, keep on going, and repeat weeks as needed.
