I did start doing this, and then slacked off big-time. I also started doing the knee exercises at one point. Both are probably really helpful for avoiding injury tbh, but don't quite deliver the same hit as jogging so I imagine loads of people don't do them. They same steady pace and gentle voice over as the running ones, so no excuses really!

Thanks for posting this so everyone can see.

I really enjoyed the Strength and Flex podcasts as an adjunct to C25k, specially when I had a horrible cold and didn't feel up to running. It certainly helped my fitness too.
