An easy to follow programme that will get you off the couch and running for 30 mins and around 5K in as little as nine weeks. This structured approach is tried and tested to support and motivate you along the way, so you never feel you are doing this on your own.
The popular plan is known the world over and is now available on voice with Alexa enabled hearables. It’s perfect for those new to running and looking for some extra support to reach their goals.
The programme offers complete flexibility and can be completed in as little as 9 weeks, or longer if you want to go at your own pace or repeat certain runs to build up your stamina and confidence.
Just pop on your Alexa enabled hearables, grab your mobile and you’re ready to go. It works alongside your preferred music player, automatically dipping the volume so you can hear the instructions and motivations from Alexa. The skill removes the need to think too much about what to do, by telling you when to walk and when to run, as well as a half-time bell you’ll soon look forward to hearing, so you know when to head back home. You can also track your progress through the programme and show device, receive motivational tips and advice and set reminders for your next run.
To get started just say ‘Alexa, open Couch to 5K’.
Please note: To use the NHS Couch to 5K Skill you will require the Alexa App on your mobile phone, Alexa enabled headphones and a stable internet/data connection. Amazon Echo Buds are the Amazon recommended product for use with Alexa. There are a variety of Alexa enabled headphones available to use, but please check your device for compatibility.
