So... without further ado, here is the 5k running plan I followed earlier this year. I can't take any credit for this as it is a plan that Weight Watchers published this spring on their website. What I can take credit for is going from not even being able to run 1 second to be able to run a 5k in 32 minutes and 15 seconds 6 weeks later by following this plan! I can't say enough good about this plan. That said, a fair warning IT IS HARD! Plan to be challenge and dedicate yourself to this. This is a much harder and more accelerated plan than the popular C25K plan that a lot of people follow. Just think how quickly you'll be ready to run a 5k! Good luck!
I've added a link to this information under my Race Information tab/page too.
I so admire your stamina, Sarah. I have finally accepted the fact that I'll never be able to call myself a runner but I'm becoming more comfortable with that realization. I sure would love to know what that 'runner's high' is all about though!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I've been wanting to ask you exactly how you did it. :) I don't like the idea of running because it seems so hard on the knees... But I want to challenge myself SOMEHOW like this.
