Equipment needed- running shoes, motivation and a race, even if it’s virtual!
So you are a couch potato; sort of, but want something to do….a 5k! Great, let’s get started.
If you are new to running start with a five-week program gradually increasing the intensity of the run portion.
Day 1. Run 10-30 minutes, walk a minute for every five minutes you run
Day 2. Rest, cross-train, or 30-minute walk
Day 3. Run 10-25 minutes, walk a minute for every five minutes you run
Day 4. Rest or walk 30 minutes
Day 5. Run 2-4 miles, walking only when absolutely necessary
Day 6. Rest or cross-train
Day 7. REST
This can be modified up or down depending on how much you are doing currently. Each week -try to increase the time you spend running!
