We wish everyone could receive a free Guide each quarter, but costs prohibit it. If you have run a race in the last quarter, we will mail you a Running Guide for the next quarter.

5K TRAINING SCHEDULE

1. Don’t start out too fast. The best way to have a successful race is to run an even pace. Run at the pace that you ran your long runs.

2. Wear the same shoes that you used to do your long runs. Do not buy a new pair of shoes to use in the race unless you can run at least three of your long runs in them.

3. Drink water before, during and after the race. Don’t wait until you are thirsty to get water. Start drinking a few hours before the race and drink at every opportunity during the event.

4. Don’t do anything new on race day. Eat and drink what you usually do before your long run.

5. Get up early on race day and give yourself plenty of time to get to the starting line.

6. Line up at the starting line in the area not to close to the front. This will help keep you at a reasonable pace.

7. Read the race instructions in your race packet prior to reporting to the starting line. The information they contain can be very helpful to your having a good safe race.

This schedule is designed to give the beginning runner the necessary training to complete a 5K race at a comfortable pace. The key is to exercise for 30 minutes four times per week. The Saturday run should include a 5 minute walking warm up and warm down. Start out at a pace that you can hold for the entire run. The running gets harder as the training progresses. Therefore, try to stick to the schedule and don’t over do it !
