Running a 5K is no joke! Whether you’re preparing for your first distance running event, or gearing up to achieve and maintain your FASTEST race pace ever…here are our 3 favorite 5K Training Tips! Get even MORE out of your 5K Training with our FREE Video Training Series.. http://https://therunexperience.com/free-training/5k. 5K Training Tip #1: Get Those Miles In! You cannot achieve success on race day without simply logging the miles in preparation! Even though the race will be a distance of 3.1 miles, many of your training runs should fall somewhere between 3 and 5 miles.. Being able to maintain good form for a longer distance will make your efficiency and stamina for the shorter race distance that much better.. Here’s a couple tricks you can use to reset your posture mid-run: * Every 5-10 minutes: Shake out your arms and legs. After a few moments, reset those shoulders and that arm swing and continue on! * Every 5-10 minutes: Stop and do 8-10 squats. After completing, reset the hips and settle into your newly re-energized stride! * You can alternate between these two movements until the run is over.. 5K Training Tip #2: Practice Running Fast! The 5K race is often used as a vehicle for improving speed at other distances. For someone running a 10K or Half Marathon down the road, perhaps the most valuable of our 5K training tips is to work regularly on improving your speed! And remember, your speed is only as good as your ability to maintain it during the race.. Here’s a workout you can incorporate once a week: * Find a “runnable” hill (5-8% gradient). It should not be so steep that you have to hike to get up it.. * Run up the hill with a hard effort (it should feel similar to a sprint) for 45-60 seconds.. * Recover by walking or jogging down the hill before repeating.. * Repeat for 5 rounds.. * The goal is to be able to complete up to 10 rounds after a couple months of training.. And here are a few additional 5K Training Tips to use to make those hill sprints less painful: * Keep your eyes up! Don’t focus on the ground.. * Keep your hips driving forward as you run INTO the hill! * Make a conscious effort to maintain your arm swing! Like putting more gas into the car, the arm swing can serve as extra fuel to get you up that hill! 5K Training Tip #3: Learn To Run With Less Effort. The 5K distance is a perfect blend of demanding both distance and speed equally.. To find success in the 5K you must learn to expend less energy. You can do this by accessing more power in each step as well as improving the mechanics of your footwork and upper body posture as you run.. To fine-tune this, try adding in 1-2 running drills before 1-2 runs per week.. Here are two of our favorites: 1) The High Skip. The high skip teaches you how to drive the most power out of your foot, each time it comes off the ground.. Exaggerating the driving of the knee to the chest will help you find a more efficient pulling position in your stride.. The explosiveness of this movement will make your distance running more economical around miles 2 and 3.. Complete 2-3 rounds of high skips for 10-30 meters before heading out on your run.. 2) Carioca. The carioca movement encourages opening of the hips for more powerful arm swing as well as quicker footwork for improved cadence control.. Quicker cadence allows you to run faster for longer.. Complete 2-3 rounds of carioca for 10-30 meters before 1-2 runs each week.. These 5K training tips will make a world of difference in your race day running. Use them to improve your ability to hold onto that speed from start to finish! Connect With Us For More Great Training: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/therunexperience.

When it comes to long-distance running, it’s all about the prep work. First, you need to build up your base mileage, then you need to train your body for the long haul. We took on the latter and created three intervals designed to help you gain endurance over time. By starting with a brisk walk and working your way up to a swift run, you’ll conquer that 5K in no time. Watch the video above or follow along below to see how it’s done.. 1. Walk/Jog. When you’re just starting out, proper form and recovery time is much more important than speed.. 5 minutes: warm up gently with a moderate walk that gradually increases. 1 minute: begin an easy jog. 2 minutes: follow with brisk walk to recover. Repeat 10 times. 5 minutes: walk to cool down. 2. Walk/Run. Once you’re comfortable with jogging, you can slowly increase your pace.. 5 minutes: walk briskly to warm up. 30 seconds: run at a swift pace. 90 seconds: speed walk to recover. Repeat 10 times. 5 minutes: walk to cool down. 3. Jog/Run Pyramid. As you progress into running, get the most out of your training by adding muscle-building sprints. In this interval, push yourself and recover for equal periods of time.. 5 minutes: warm up with a moderate jog. 1 minute: 30 seconds at a fast pace/30 seconds to recover. 2 minutes: 1 minute at a fast pace/1 minute to recover. 4 minutes: 2 minutes at a fast pace/2 minutes to recover. 8 minutes: 4 minutes at a fast pace/4 minutes to recover. 4 minutes: 2 minutes at a fast pace/2 minutes to recover. 2 minutes: 1 minute at a fast pace/1 minute to recover. 1 minute: 30 seconds at a fast pace/30 seconds to recover. 10 minutes: walk to cool down. We’ve partnered with adidas Running to prep you for your next 5K.

Many of you enjoyed Part 1 of “How to Prepare for Your First 5k.” Now that you have a good head start, it’s time to address some common errors that new runners make. Getting new shoes for the race. Unless your shoes are showing signs of wear (which I outline below), do.
Along with increasing your mileage, you should include cross-training, which can consist of swimming, cycling, or strength training. If running isn’t your forte, you can run-walk or walk the race. Put your name, address, cell phone number, bib number, and e-mail address clearly on your race bib, or better yet, use a RoadID, which you can wear on your wrist or shoe.
Bring extra tissue. Pre-5K Race Routine. Get to the race early. I would suggest 45 minutes to an hour before the race starts.
This will allow you to get a good parking spot, along with giving you plenty of time to use the bathroom, warm up, stretch, and mentally prepare for your first race. Factors such as what part of your foot you land on, how injury-prone you are, and how heavy you are can influence the type of shoe you need. And remember, one pair doesn’t last forever, especially if you’re logging the miles.
Replace your shoes about every 500 miles max, or when they start to feel flat or hurt your feet. Build Your Base When first starting a 5K-training program, you should be able to walk at a brisk pace — 15 minutes per mile — for 30 minutes. If you cannot, you should build your walking distance first. Once you are ready to add running to your workout, do so gradually with a. About 16 to 20 weeks before the marathon, start building the distance of this workout so you run 20 miles at leastonce before the race.
Preferably, as a first-timer marathoner, you will run 20 to 21 miles two or even three times before race day. So, you’ve run a 5K—maybe even a 10K—and now you’re ready for something more challenging like a half marathon. Good for you! The half marathon is a great distance. It’s long enough to feel challenged, but not so long that training for it completely consumes your life.Below are a few good training tips for your first half marathon.
1. Build. Walk two to three minutes to pre-warm your body. Run 10 minutes at an easy effort to warm up. Run 6 x 2 minutes at a hard but controlled effort in the red zone. Follow every two minutes of hard.
Estimate your time for finishing the ultra and build up to running those total hours over two days. You want to run the full distance (combining back-to-back days) at least three or four times before the race. For example, if you think you will finish in six hour.
List of related literature:
Practice your drinking technique in training as much as possible—trying to mimic race conditions—and follow the pre-hydration guidelines from Chapter 5, starting 36 to 48 hours before the race.
In chapter 6, you’ll learn how—and why—to reduce your mileage as the marathon approaches and what workouts to do just before the race to reach the start line with the optimal blend of being rested and ready.

Finally, in chapter 12, will presentaselection of training plansfor each of four race distances:5K, 10K, half-marathon, and marathon.These plans will help you get started with the adaptive approach to training and the process of becoming an effective self-coach.
If the goal is to run a marathon and the client has never run even 5 miles (8 km), the first goal might be to develop the habit of training four times per week; the second might be to run 2 miles (3.2 km); and the third might be to run in a 10K (6.2-mile) race.
When I signed up for the race, I had more than six months to prepare, so I found a plan that outlined checkpoints and gave me mini goals for my training.
Does it start out where a lot of people can’t reach 1 miles and then after doing it everyday you get longer distances? I can only jog like.85 miles without stopping, but I’ve been walking at least 5 miles everyday, does just running everyday allow you to get further and further like everything else, I need motivation
Hey I just found your video, thanks for creating and posting them for us. I’ve been running a while now but am always looking for new tips to improve my time and distance. Would you by chance have a video on proper stretching for a run, to include before AND after? Thanks.
Am stuck around 20:20 for 5Ks despite tough speed work once a week and long runs of up to 8, usually with some 7:40 miles in second half; running 5 to 6 days a week; getting 5 1/2 to 6 hours sleep; and very busy daily schedule with late evening work. Any suggestions?
Just signed up for my first 5k. I’m not a runner. Ha! Not even a jogger and I have no clue, But I found a pair of running shoes in my closet that I’ve never worn (my husband bought them for me cause I said they’re cute 3 years ago) an app ( couch to 5k ) and this video!! Now I just need to do the work. Race is Aug 25th ��
I just ran my first 5k (Humana 5k) on 06-15-19 and got first place in my age group (20-39), second place for female overall and fourteenth place in the race as a whole! I work at Humana, signed up because my coworker made the T-shirts for the 5k; I certainly wasn’t expecting to do so well! The thing is, before that day, I never ran or jogged; I just power-walk every single day. Be it on breaks at work or just walking around my family’s kitchen table, I must have been working my heart up enough and didn’t even realize my potential! I can’t wait to sign up for another one!
looking straight ahead when running up hill, I have issues doing this as I wear prescription glasses and loose the step/ terrain that my feet are landing on.
when running a 5 km I break it up by turning round whilst still moving in the same direction and run backwards for about 10 to 15 meters
Hi, I’m beginner and planning to go for a 5K run. All I can do at the moment is a non-stop run of 3K in 20 minutes.I breath heavily and could not run further.Does these squats for every mile will help me? Do you suggest any other strategy to be adopted? Thanks, Jerome
I like running and one week I got the crazy idea of running 5k EVERYDAY for an entire week. It was crazy but At the end of the week I felt so accomplished!I made a video if you’re interested it’s on my channel. ��
hey guys! glad you’re liking this training video. If you haven’t checked out our 2 week training… it’s a good kick start for some of these habits. Check it out… let me know what you think. http://tretips.com/5k
My first 5k was during a 10k race. So I never got that experience, and I regretted not having the experience of doing atleast half of that race. However, I ran it faster than 95% of my competitors.
This year I’m a junior and my first year of xc, the first 2 years I did winter and spring track, never really ran a very long distance race and during time trials I ran a 19:27 and I reduced my 5k time down to 18:46.40! I really want to attempt sub 18:30 in the last few weeks of the season, I feel it’s possible.
I absolutely LOVE running! I’ve done 1 5k and got first in my age group 12-19! The thing is, my anxiety builds up SO much even thinking about signing up for another 5k but I wanna do one really bad. Does this make sense?
Hello friends I star to train 5K and in 5 week my ankle is all swollen and painful �������� I don’t want to stop… I really want to make it ����…please advise
Hey Hannah! I’m a runner too! I would also add if someone has an Apple Watch, to invest in the Velcro band! It’s a lifesaver for sweat! I can’t tell you how many times the sweat from me wearing the regular band would cause my wrist to itch! Nice video!! ��
Hey Robert there’s both a scientific side to the taper and an experience side!! Generally the fitter you are and the more important the race the longer the taper for ultimate performance. But really we are just hitting the top of the iceberg.
I just wanna say thank u for this. I have to be able to run 5k next week and not sure if I can. And trust me, anything helps. So just thank u for this video
Awesome!! I’ve been doing pilates, but I want to try something different and I’ve never actually been running! Thanks for sharing:) and so proud of you!!!
This is how I’ve been doing it I’m training for the flying pig marathon in Cincinnati next year in may so I’m working on myself now I started getting discouraged and angry with myself but it looks like I’m starting off ok so I’m just going to keep going thanks!
Very nice video and you covered all of the important tips for beginners. Cross training and stretching is super important! And you should never ever run without proper running shoes! When running in winter I would recommend to warm up a little before a run. My ankles are always thankful for a warm up.
Hello! I like to run. Usually, when I run 10 km in my rhythm, at line finish… just… I get tired, that”s all. But when I run 1 km I lost my energy and can”t do it in 4 min. A tip, please!
my 5k is all uphill. i run around 25 mins after 2 weeks of training, my original time is about 30 mins. i find it is very hard to train everyday, is that means my mental strength is not strong enough? QAQ I want to be better at 5k, plz help me! i am 16 and want to build an excellent physique with 5k and it does help.:D
Age and experience are probably factors in determining an accurate answer, but I’ve heard various opinions with regard to tapering for a marathon. Would you recommend a one or two week taper for a road marathon? How drastic of a taper during the, ‘taper week/weeks’? Thanks in advance.
im a school athlete long distance runner…can i ask u that can i enter the high jump also because i also good in high jump and can that distroil my distance run?
Question? I weight 225ibs 6″feet I have a well built buddy more like a strong man look�� is there a weight I should try to bring myself down to in order to achieve better and faster results to break 20min on the 5k????
hi there. I’m trying to get my 5k time down to 20/21 mins I’m currently at a pb of 22. I also enjoy weight training, have you any advice on how I can do both and still improve my time. I currently train 4/5 times a week. thanks
Respected brother i have a question, i feel pain in Tibialis anterior muscles ( part of leg down from knee front side) when i run about 1.5k and i run about 3k at a time. can you please give me some suggestions how to overcome this pain?
Good question Michelle! Taper is a period before a race where you reduce your volume and intensity so that you can enter your race feeling fresh and rested yet sharp!!
Great tips.. I’ll try this next run. I normally run about 2.5 miles in the mornings before work and do occasional 5k runs around town. Would love to be able to run a 5k or more on my mornings runs. Started doing that previously but I think ended up with a stress fracture so I have been taking it easy ever since I’ve been back running. Trying not to push myself to hard and injure myself again.
I have already been using some of your technique ideas. It takes a while to get used to leading with your hips but it sure helps.
Right now i run the 5k in 29 minutes, but then i don’t run as fast as i can, i dont give everything from thr beginning if you know what i mean:) do you think its possible to train that i will do the 5k under 20minutes? how long would it take with how many training session per week?
Can you plz send me workouts to improve my 5k. I’m at a 19:14 as my pr or pb. Any way I just need workouts during la summer My email is [email protected] thank you
Tips were basic, most runners them. But, what I loved is how you took the basicness of them and encoorperated a twist in them. Overall, it has helped me become a better runner!
Did my first 5k 5weeks ago. Did first 8k 2 weeks ago. Today i did a 5k and later this day another 6k bc i felt i needed more. Running is addictive lol. Im still at slow pace around 5.30(min/km) but getting there and loving every moment^_^
I ran my 5k with my friend. OMFG. we came in last. well there were a few old people like 90 years old behind us. I didn’t want to outrun my friend. I was there to support her. so I came in last with her.
Splits are a series of distance measurements you use to track and measure your pace and effort. For example if you have a target 10km time you could break that down into mile splits to stay on track!
Hi sir I am training in police academy. I want to run without stopping but it is not possible. In 5k run I was completed in15min. But in the last round I didn’t control my breathing. Please help me to run fastly without stopping.
Haha now this I relate too! a much better version in my opinion. Keep knocking down those silly sterotypes and false expectations of what a runner is or is not. �� Anyone can do it #projectstart.
Does it start out where a lot of people can’t reach 1 miles and then after doing it everyday you get longer distances?

A girl that cute better be able to run fast-she’s running in a bad neighborhood over the First Street Bridge in L.A! She looks great.
I’ve been looking for a video like this! Really wanting to start getting back into running and your video is giving me all this inspo! ����♀️
looking straight ahead when running up hill, I have issues doing this as I wear prescription glasses and loose the step/ terrain that my feet are landing on.
when running a 5 km I break it up by turning round whilst still moving in the same direction and run backwards for about 10 to 15 meters
stretching really is so important! if you don’t stretch injuries are more likely to occur and you won’t be in as good shape as possible.

yes! The running shoes is a must. I know depending how much you run, you do switch them out depending on the miles or every 6 months.
I start run on the beach at morning 5AM to 7AM and evening 6 PM to 8 PM but no change in speed and 1 week pass with my workout and i am beginner
i wouldn’t recommend going a size up. My feet would slide a lot and i ended up getting injured. Supportive shoes are super important though!
My first 5k was during a 10k race. So I never got that experience, and I regretted not having the experience of doing atleast half of that race. However, I ran it faster than 95% of my competitors.
Some really great tips EXCEPT the “stop and do some squats” bit. That’s insane for anybody wanting to develop rhythm and pace surely?

Did my first 5k 5weeks ago. Did first 8k 2 weeks ago. Today i did a 5k and later this day another 6k bc i felt i needed more. Running is addictive lol. Im still at slow pace around 5.30(min/km) but getting there and loving every moment^_^
I ran my 5k with my friend. OMFG. we came in last. well there were a few old people like 90 years old behind us. I didn’t want to outrun my friend. I was there to support her. so I came in last with her.
Splits are a series of distance measurements you use to track and measure your pace and effort. For example if you have a target 10km time you could break that down into mile splits to stay on track!
what kind of food i should consume before and and after 5k training? and what should i eat all day? well there are 2 races that i must win.
1600 meters in 6 minutes or less
5000 meters in 25 minuts or less
if any race i win then it can be my career can be change. so that’s why it’s important
Hi sir I am training in police academy. I want to run without stopping but it is not possible. In 5k run I was completed in15min. But in the last round I didn’t control my breathing. Please help me to run fastly without stopping.
Haha now this I relate too! a much better version in my opinion. Keep knocking down those silly sterotypes and false expectations of what a runner is or is not. �� Anyone can do it #projectstart.
