Has anyone ever used the C25K method for anything else?

I'm thinking of using the 9 week program but on a rowing machine!

I love running but thought I might add in rowing too.

Any thoughts?

worth a bash...I did alot of rowing machine stuff in the summer as I had a running injury, but it drove me nuts as I didn't actually get anywhere! Good luck and have fun :)

I use a similar system for DIY and house maintenance. Do a bit........have a rest.......do a bit more. The trouble is I have been stuck on Week 1 for the last ten years.

I've got a rower and use the RowPro software. The only problem is that the training plans dont have much flexibility like C25K for when training sessions need to be postponed through sickness or other commitments

I guess you could adapt the theory to a lot of things. I'm sure there was someone on here a while back using it for swimming. Have a browse on the nhs site, I' sure they mention some other plans are available for other exercises at the end of the graduate podcasts if memory serves....
