If you are thinking of possibly running a 5K (or just using the Couch to 5K program)

If you are thinking of possibly running a 5K (or just using the Couch to 5K program), then these links can help:

The fitness line Oiselle has a guide for you: First (or Fastest) 5k.
Darebee has an 8 Week program to go from couch to 5K that’s helpful.
This is a good reminder about how apps like couch to 5K and more can help: How Running Changed Me Mike Murphy
Some things I wrote earlier: In praise of the 5K and other (non-marathon) races.

In praise of short books AND the comments section of the Guardian

Now this is a rare thing. I was reading this piece, in praise of short books: to start and finish in one sitting is a rare unbridled joy, and it asked readers to list good short books. Instead of a typical dumpster fire, it was full of thoughtful and short comments on….good short books. Amazing.

So if you want some recommendations on good short books to read this weekend or next, head over to that link.
