Training for it
Most 5K plans take six to ten weeks. If you cannot run for 30 minutes yet, start with a couch-to-5K plan first.
- Run three or four times a week, mostly easy.
- Add one faster session a week once the easy runs feel comfortable.
- Run the course or something similar once before race day if you can.
