Running In A 5K
At the urging of my sister, we are going to run in a 5K. The ‘race’ is scheduled for March 29 - which is 64 days from today.
To get prepared, I’m going to follow the plan from Cool Running - Couch-to-5K.
I’ll start tomorrow, Day 1 of Week 1 -
Brisk five-minute warm up walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.
Breaking that down -
5 minute warm up walk
1 min jogging, 1.5 min walking
1 min jogging, 1.5 min walking
1 min jogging, 1.5 min walking
1 min jogging, 1.5 min walking
1 min jogging, 1.5 min walking
1 min jogging, 1.5 min walking
1 min jogging, 1.5 min walking
1 min jogging, 1.5 min walking
Total jogging - 8 minutes
Total walking - 12 minutes
