Week 6
Monday: 2 miles, run 8 minutes, walk 30 seconds
Tuesday: strength workout
Wednesday: 1.5 miles + 4 strides, run 2 minutes, walk 1 minute
Thursday: rest
Friday: run as much as possible (5K if possible)
Saturday: rest
Sunday: strength training
The key to running a 5K is to pace yourself and give your body the time to adjust. Running is a great way to get your cardio in, but resting and getting a strength workout like lifting weights will only make you a stronger runner. Make sure you’re eating enough protein and drinking plenty of water when you train and run your first 5K because you need the energy to make it to the finish line.
