training for 5K

So....FH and forcing me to train for a 5K he wants us to run. He is already in awesome shap (he's an exercise science major). Me..... not so much!!!

Atleast this should help lose some pounds before the wedding.

good luck, I've done many...start with run/walks and work your way up to full running!

Thats what I am doing. 2 min of running and 3 walking till I get up to speed.

you'll be fine then

I HIGHLY recommend the Couch to 5K program - I started it 6 weeks ago and ran my first 5K this past Saturday.

I agree. I have it on my iPhone and I love it!

I highly reccommend Hal Higdon's program. i used his program to train for the half marathons I have been running. I had no stamina before this. My friend uses his training programs to run the NYC marathon.

This 5k training for novice is 8 weeks. Link below.
