Are you thinking about participating in a 5K (kilometer) run? Preparing for a race is a great way to add challenge to your exercise routine.
But you don't want to overdo it and hurt yourself. That's why it's important to train, even for a fun run.
A 5K run is 3.1 miles. If you can comfortably jog or run one mile, or 1.6 kilometers (km), in 10 to 12 minutes — meaning
you can talk normally with a partner while you're running — consider using this 10-week training program. The gradual
progression of running distance will help prevent overload injuries and stress fractures.
If you prefer a slower pace, substitute walking for jogging or running. On days in which you choose between resting
and training, the distance is up to you.
