is there a C25k chart?

[GreedyMolly]

Hi, I'm not running with my ipod (no pockets...like to hear where the traffic is...) is there a chart for this plan?

Oh, and I should have said that the IPod Shuffle's are tiny and have a clip on the back, so you dont need pockets. The music is quite motivational (well most of it!) and the commentry definitely helps you to start/stop in the right places. You could always just put one ear in if you are worried about the ambient sounds around you.

Just a thought!

I'm with Maysie on trying to find a way to listen while not shutting all traffic sound out. I think you'll spend more of your available attention by focusing on the watch and the chart than you will from listening to Laura. Still... whatever works for you

Happy running.

You need to listen to the podcast. How else do you know what to do?

Right as always MissW

I only put one earbud in when I run with the podcasts or music and keep the volume low.

A cheap armband ipod holder:

Take an old sock, one that strecthes well, cut off the foot [I did say old sock ]. Then with the cylindrical part - this should be double the length of the ipod/phone - put it around your upper arm (think of wristwarmers) , fold it in two so that it forms a pocket, with the opening facing up, and slide in your ipod. Just make sure that it is snug enough so that it does not fall out - try to keep it as close as your shoulder as possible as there is a bit less movement there. If it is a woolen sock you can plug the ipod chord thru the fabric, otherwise you may need to make a small hole. Try to jump an shake your arms before you go off running though!

I LOVE that idea! Sounds much better than the strap ones you can buy which are tricky to get a mobile phone in and out of - I want one!
