5km Training Plan: Week 4

Week 4



Goal: Run for four minutes, walk for one minute, for 30-34 minutes.

As an extra challenge: pick a route that has hills. “I believe all runners should include hill repeats in their schedule as an excellent way to increase strength and endurance while still logging mileage,” says Malton. Hill repeats involve repeated efforts up and down a hill with a grade of no more than 10 percent - challenging up the hill, easy down.

And remember....
Speed isn’t an issue: Coaches tell us: don’t focus on how fast you finish, but on the finish line. “Remember your time will be your personal best no matter what time you run,”
