Couch to 5k in 6 weeks - from Lifehacker

This is a little more lighthearted and fun:

Couch to 5k in 6 weeks

Blogger Wade Meredith details how he went from the couch to a 5k in 6 weeks.

Wade, who “did this last summer after having smoked a pack a day for
5 years,” describes his whole plan, from signing up for the 5k to
picking up your shirt once the race is over. His training plan and
methods seem like a slightly more ambitious version of
previously-posted Coolrunning’s Couch to 5k plan.
If you’re looking for some footsteps to follow toward a similar goal,
Wade offers some useful advice for the beginning runner. — Adam Pash (thanks Lifehacker).
