Couch 2 5K - Week 5

This series is for beginning or returning runners who are interested in running a 5K.  It is a 9-week program to get you off the couch and to the races! Speed is not the concern, be active is the key! It is a great way to start a new year and do it with your friends.

If you haven`t ran with this series yet, the work outs are getting a bit more strenuous and would probably not be for a beginner. If there is enough interest after this series, I may start another one after this one is finished.

Week 5

OK! Today marks your half way mark! I hope you are ready for another great workout. This week will be a struggle but remember your goal! You will not be the only one struggling, and HEY, you are working toward that 5K!

Workout:

Group stretch

5 minute Warm-up

3 repetitions

5 minute (800m) jog/2.5 min (400m) walk

5 minute cool down

Remember to look at your Workout schedule, the remainder of the workouts for Week 5 are different than today`s!

Remember: Bring plenty of water, comfortable clothes and shoes. A watch with a stopwatch built-in is a great extra (will be a needed accessory for your other workouts through the week).

Quote of the Week:

"If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail."

KEEP UP THE HARD WORK! KEEP TRAINING! STAY FOCUSED AND BE READY FOR NEXT WEEK`S WORKOUT!
