Considerations for training for a 5K race
As always, the first thing is to be sure you are in good health to do a sport of this nature. If all goes well, start with this eight-week plan to build a foundation. In our countries, 5-kilometer races are not abundant, but this agenda will help you have “aerobic capital” to start and then a plan to run the 10 kilometers.
Aimed at: people who want to participate in a 5-kilometer competition or have the goal of participating in a 10-kilometer race. They must maintain a continuous run for at least 40 minutes.
Duration: 8 weeks.
Goal: Participate in a 5-kilometer competition. There is no specific time goal to cover the distance.
Observations on the plan:
Each week has different sessions, as follows:
1. Jog: The pace you should run allows you to feel comfortable and start a conversation. If you have a heart rate monitor, keep your heart rate above 50% of your maximum.
2. Jog-walk: This session consists of running distances of 1 minute and up to three minutes, interspersed with equal periods of walking.
3. Walk: Walking sessions of up to 60 minutes. If it’s too hard for you, do 30 minutes and add 5 minutes per week.
4. Rest: this part of training is critical. Please don’t skip it.
Below are the details for each week, day by day.
