Couch-to-5K
I’ve created a small browser application to track individual progress on the Couch-to-5K Running Plan. It can be downloaded to your Mac or PC and will remember your checked off items for up to 1 year. I created this because I was frustrated by the format of the layout of the chart and the inability to check items off as I progressed. I tried printing the existing chart out, but it annoyingly lapsed over the page break. Here’s how you use it:
- Check out the demo page.
- Like it? Ok…download the zip.
- Double click the file you just downloaded to unzip it.
- Put the enclosed file name “Couch-to-5K.html” anywhere you would like (I keep mine on my desktop for easy access).
- Open the “Couch-to-5K.html” in your favorite browser—
it won’t work in Safari, so I’m sorry if it’s your favorite browser.It doesn’t work in Safari 2, but it does work in the Safari 3.0 Beta (free download for Mac or PC). - Check off each item as you complete it. The plan is designed to last 9 weeks, the checklist will remember what you checked off for up to 52 weeks…so make sure you finish before then!
- Enjoy being in better shape!

This is really handy- even just for printing out a formatted table like I did.
Thanks for formatting the running plan in an easy portable table!
