Having a goal at the start of any exercise programme can be a great motivator and in many cases can make the difference between sticking with it or giving up.
For someone starting an exercise programme for the first time or just getting back into exercise after a long break it can be a difficult and daunting experience. How much should I do? How far should I run? What pace should I run at? What rest should I have between runs? These are all questions that are common, so if you have asked yourself any of them, don’t worry – you’re not alone!
This is a 8 week programme with 3/4 workouts per week to start off with. There will be a lot of run/ walk combinations.
I assume that you have no major health problems, are in reasonable shape, and have perhaps done at least some jogging or walking before starting this programme.
If you have read this then you have taken the first steps towards getting fit enough for the 5km run! Happy Running!
