Description

5K training and racing is hard, no matter your level of experience as a runner. Even if 3.1 miles is a warm-up for you, the distance can be challenging in terms of speed. If you want to improve your 5K time - whether that's a sub-40 min 5K, sub-30, or sub-20 - this is the episode for you!
We also answered a listener question on run-walk intervals.
Discussion points include:

Weekly mileage when training for a 5K
How to set a 5K goal pace
5K pace specific workouts
Do you taper for a 5K?
How to fuel for a 5K race
Warming up before a 5K race
How to pace a 5K race
How to recover after a 5K race
