5K Training Week 3 Day 1

January 6, 2009 by NCN Leave a reply »

I’m training for my first ever 5K road race.  Yesterday, I began Week 3 Day 1 following the Couch-to-5K program.

Here’s what I did -

5 minute warm-up walk

90 seconds running

90 seconds walking

3 minutes running

3 minutes walking

90 seconds running

90 seconds walking

3 minutes running

3 minutes running

It felt good to get back to my routine after a week off for the holidays.  Today, I’m going to do some strength training for my arms and back – but I really feel like doing some running, too.  I might do the strength training in the morning, and then do my running when I take my daughter to gymnastics this evening.

    How do you keep track of timing? In my experience the 90 second walk/90 second run is the hardest to time when you’re actually training. What’s your trick? :)

    That’s a pretty strict running routine. Look’s like it should help you get to where you want to be.

  4. Good job with the training!
