Couch to 5k for the reasonably fit?

[Hopefully]

Has anyone started the couch to 5k program from a position of being halfway fit? How dis you do it? Start on a later week or just do fewer runs at each level so you move through the weeks more quickly?

I've been doing Shred/Ripped for a couple of months now and want to squeeze in some more exercise in the mornings before the DCs are up (so about 5:30am ).

Also, any app recommendations? I rather like my apps

Yup, I did it in January. Got a free generic app which was fine - no music or annoying whoopy do comments. Skipped week one and then just moved up a level every time I decided that the workout was manageable. I managed to get to 5k within the month. Towards the end I started using Runkeeper instead of/as well as the C25k app as it kept better score of my speed etc.

with running it's not just about your fitness it's also about your leg muscles capability to run ie your quads ect.

start at the beginning and work through it,the best app and I still use it is mapmyrun,I have a garmin and still use this app.

Ooh, I used to use mapmyrun back in the day when I was fit and ran a lot, had forgotten about that.

I think I'll start with the easiest and maybe do two runs at each 'level' before moving on and see how I go.

I will probably completely embarrass myself by not being able to manage week 1 now...
