Since January I’ve struggled with the drive to eat healthier and exercise. My wife and I took up tennis lessons in April, and it was immediately apparent that the running required to survive a lesson was almost beyond me. A good friend recommended the Couch-to-5K Running Plan. I thought this was a good plan, but was disappointed with the lack of any easy way to track my progress. With this need in mind, I recreated the plan and with the addition of some basic progress tracking.
The idea is simple; each step of the plan has a check box. As you complete a step, you check the box. A cookie is saved in your browser…the next time you open the page it remembers what you’ve already checked…no database required! Take a look at the demo.
If you like it, help yourself. Feel free to download it, modify it, borrow it, or whatever. All the code is visible via
Hi Shane,
Thanks for the ‘fly-by’ earlier. I think your progress checker is great and I will plug it at every opportunity. Fat Blokes need all the help they can get!
Cheers.

@FatBlokeThin – I’m considering some “upgrades” to the progress tracker for a second release. I’m open to feedback if you have suggestions to make it more useful.
