How to run a 5k
"Yaaaay!"
How I did it: I've been working on this for a while--I followed coolrunning.com's couch-5k plan. I got together with a friend and we picked a 5k race we were going to do, and then I followed the plan and actually ran a whole 5k without stopping or walking!
Lessons & tips:
- Stick with it. You can do it!
- Go at your own pace--So what if you're slow? You're faster than everyone sitting at home on the couch.
Resources:
- Great Couch-5k podcasts for the coolrunning.com's program. A friend found these. http://www.ullreys.com/robert/Podcasts/index.html
- The Coolrunning Couch-5k plan. http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml It's fantastic.
