Train for a 5k in 6 Weeks
Man oh man, daylight savings time is kicking my BUTT! BUT, I’ll take it, ‘cause with it comes extra light in the evening hours.
You know I love me some at home workouts, but how about getting out and enjoying that extra hour of light with my couch to 5k full plan?!
Did I say it would take an hour of your day? Um… I mean you can totally soak up that entire hour. You do you! But my plan has you running from couch to 5k in 6 weeks, and the LONGEST workout is 40 minutes. You can totally handle that!
Oh, and if you’re nervous about the running thing? We’re doing run/walk intervals, girl.
Check out your first week…
Monday: Do a strength training workout and a one mile time test.
Tuesday: 1.5 miles OR alternate running for two minutes and walking for three
Wednesday: Get your strength training workout in!
Thursday: Time to “run!” Same plan as Tuesday.
Friday: You guessed it! STRENGTH TRAIN!
Saturday: Time for mile two! OR alternate running for two minutes with walking for three.
Sunday is your day of rest- or yoga!
You can do this!
Put on your good running shoes, sign up for a 5K in May, and get your couch to 5k full plan below.
Of course I have it all laid out in a handy printable. It’s gonna feel so good to cross off those days- almost as good as crossing the finish line in your first 5k race!
Notice: Printable. Not plural. This entire plan is a single. Calendar. And you can totally do it!
