M.A. Cruz 15 Posted September 17, 2013 How'd you train/prep for this? Did you run constant or did you walk to catch your breath? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GG'sArtsMom 42 Posted September 17, 2013 I trained for a 5k by using the couch to 5k app- I downloaded it to my phone. I ran my 1st 5k (no race, just the distance) a few weeks ago and have since run it 3x per week. I love it and my dog enjoys the exercise as well, it really helps his behavior issues too!

melhealthy 103 Posted September 18, 2013 How'd you train/prep for this? Did you run constant or did you walk to catch your breath? I joined a 5k training program. We had a group run on Mondays and ran on our own two additional nights a week. The class was 9 weeks and the graduation was a 5k race. The couch to 5k apps you can get on your smart phone are great also. I joined the training group because I liked that it had a race at the end of the program. I've attached a picture of me with my completion medal! It was such an amazing feeling to complete the race! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
