I am not sure but cardio and flexibility would be a key for any runner so that you can continue the 5k and not run out of gas.
A proform treadmill can be a useful piece of workout equipment in sticking to a 5K training plan. To develop a 5K training plan requires a bit of time and effort. First, a person should give one's self at least 7 to 8 weeks to prepare for a 5K race. The key to training effectively is to steadily increase the distance one runs on a daily basis. For example, a person may want to start running at one mile during the first week of a 5K training plan. Then, one can ultimately get to running 3 miles by increasing running distance by a half mile every week.
There are a number of different places where you could find a 5K training guide. You could try subscribing to a runner's magazine and seeing if they perhaps have one, printing one off of your computer, or getting a book on running.
Before training for a 5K, consult your doctor to make sure that you don't have any conditions that will be affected by training. After he or she gives you the okay, start making subtle changes in your diet (if you eat french fries and candy bars every day, that's not a good way to train for a 5K). Start training slowly. Don't expect to run a mile or two the first time that you train. Walk, jog, walk...and then work your way towards running. Good luck!
Doing the 5k run can build a new level of challenges and interest in your exercise. You can be prepared for the 5k run in just 2 months. There is a schedule that was made up from an Olympian Jeff galloway. The 5k training schedule that was made up by jeff consists of a mixture of running, walking, and resting. The conbination helps reduce risk in fatigue, stress, and injury. You can run or walk slowly to help your body to adjust to the schedule.

No, the amount of strain you put on your body in a fast race (eg.5k) is tremendous! Doing easy running for the next day or two or even just resting or cross-training is recommended for recovery. You put yourself at an increased chance of injury by racing back-to-back.
The Hal Higdon training program involves distance race training for novice, intermediate and advanced runners for 5K, 8K, 15K, and half marathon runs.
When I ran my first 5k I took 45 minutes. I think around that time.
I would check with your doctor first to see if your are in good health condition for such training. Then I would contact the sponsor of the 5K run you are interested in and ask for referrals of people who can provide you with training schedules.
TsGh 5K
1000.
No, it should read "5K sounds so much better than3.1 miles" (not "then" and not "3.10").
