How to run a 5k by BroadwayJunkie

"Started running regularly on the treadmill building up to 3 miles (5k) and then signed up and ran."

How I did it: I did my training on a treadmill, gradually building up to 3 miles - took about 10 months I would say. I'm not a runner nor have I ever been, so you could probably do it faster if you are more athletic than myself.

I also set my treadmill @ a 1% include to better transition to running on pavement for the races.

Jaycee You can't change the music of your soul.

I’m currently trying to train for a 5k too! How long did it take you to run it if you don’t mind me asking? I would appreciate any advice you could give me. :0)

it took me about 10 months to train and when I finished my 5k races I was finishing between 30-36 minutes – not very fast, but I finished. :)

Good Luck!!
