how to train for 5k
Each 5K program includes a schedule for a pre-training week to help you gauge your fitness. If you are not already able to run the mileage for that week comfortably, take a few weeks to build gradually to that level, adding one mile to your long run every week. You should be able to run the 5K pre-training schedule comfortably for four to five weeks. Then lace up, you're ready for the road.
