Fat Guy Radio: Episodes
First, how have you been doing on your Couch to 5k program? I’ve been walking 20 minutes every day at lunch. The 260 minute total was the minimum you should have walked in Month 1/Phase I of this more conservative C25K program. I found this program over at Beginner Triathlete. The [...]
So, my road to running God has been cut short. I mentioned that the running program that I’m following upped the time running. I also mentioned that week 5 seemed wholly impossible. Well as week 4 went on, especially my Thursday run pushed to Friday, I was ready for week 5. [...]
Holy Crap!! Week 4 is going to be a tough one. I don’t think I agree with the jump in running time. In week 3, I ran for 9 minutes total. In Week 4, I’m expected to run for 16 minutes. That’s a 77% increase!! I definitely felt the difference. [...]
Second day of week 3 of the Couch to 5K running program. This week the total number of minutes stays the same, but the length of run increases to 3 minutes. Whew!! After that 3 minutes my legs are tight. I probably need to have someone check out my running style [...]
Finally a full week’s worth of running the second week’s program. Just to recap this week it was six 90 second runs with two minutes of walking in between. Tack on 5 minutes on either end for warm up and cool down and you got yourself a workout. I’ve downloaded week 3 [...]
It started raining on me at the end of tonight’s run. I started over Week 2 of the Couch to 5K program. It only seemed right. It had been 5 days since I last ran and I’m in no hurry. Positive thinking really helped me in the last three intervals this [...]
Do, do, do, lookin’ out my front door. This is the view at around 2PM on Sunday afternoon. This storm is a good one. The two flows, one from each gutter, just combined in the middle of the street to form one uber river running down my street. Not good for [...]
Help me out. If you run, when is the best time to eat before running? Is there at good time. Maybe it’s just what I was eating. Is a taco not the best thing to eat before running? How about sushi? Let me know by leaving a comment or [...]
So after the first run of the second week it becomes clear how the program is going to work. Slowly increase the time that you run and you’ll get there. Gotcha. First week was 60 second runs, the second week is 90 seconds. Ninety seconds may not seem like a lot, [...]
The route that I’ve been running is over 2 miles! I was surprised after I drove the route. It’s just around the neighborhood. I also, as promised, bought some new shoes and lo and behold, I’m a 4E in width. EEEE!! The old shoes are in the trash.

This is not me! I just thought it was a funny picture. I didn’t get the new shoes and I might regret it. Tomorrow I will, 100%, most definitely, absolutely get fit for new running shoes. This workout went well and was marginally easier than the first one. The 5 [...]
Here’s the link below to the podcast that I’m listening to while doing the Couch to 5K program. Good stuff, but be sure not to miss the second interval on the week one podcast. I’m going to get to my local running store and get some proper shoes. Didn’t bother me today, [...]
I’m starting the Couch to 5K program at Coolrunnings.com. Over the next 8 weeks I’ll give my progress as I work through the training program here on Utterz.

What makes a guy, younger than 35, go to sleep and not wake up. I don’t know, but that’s what happened to my old neighbor, Roger Sturges. Also I went to a wedding reception, the wedding was a couple months ago in Hawaii. The groom is a friend from High School, in [...]
Hello, and welcome back to me. It’s been a busy Summer, the kids are back in school and so they’re going to bed at a decent time. I have time to podcast again. Let me recap, the last show was in June, July and August were dark, podcast wise, and now it’s [...]
Ooops, I forgot to tell you the Recipe of the Week. Damn. I’ll get you two next week. They’ll compliment each other. A whole meal maybe. Yeah, that’s it. Workout related show mostly this week. I did 8 push-ups. That puts me into the “weak” category. [...]
Do you feel lied to? I for one do. I’ve been drinking Diet Coke for more than half my life. And it will probably be the shit that kills me. This episode has a few more expletives than I like in the show, so it will have the explicit tag, but [...]
There’s a lot of news in this week’s show, if you haven’t visited the blog, then it will be all new to you. I’ll be changing the show to Tuesday nights instead of Thursday. I’m going to be playing bass on Sundays for the next two months and Thursday night is rehearsal. [...]
If you drive a BMW, you probably drive like an ass. Not mentioned in the show, but I had to mention it somewhere here. Every time someone runs up on my rear bumper, or cuts me off in traffic, It’s always someone in an “ultimate driving machine”. Be nice people. Otherwise, [...]
This week starts a new feature on the show, the Recipe of the Week. This week we also discuss an article about overcoming a loss of motivation. Check out the link on the blog. You know, on the first show I stated that on the show we’d be talking about the [...]
