5K Walk/Run Training Plan 

I created this training plan that worked for me – I hope it works for you.

Please get your physician’s approval before attempting a 5K walk/run – the goal is physical fitness, not physical harm! 

At my annual physical, Doc said, “Lose 10 pounds.” I am paraphrasing, as it was not that polite! 

I chose to set another goal: 

I will train for, and run a 5k walk/race that is scheduled five weeks from today 

Goal 1; to lose 10 pounds, I viewed as negative, exercise and diet, and not attainable. 

Goal 2; to run a 5k, I viewed it as positive, a challenge I knew I could do with preparation. 

Two goals, same result!  I actually lost 12 pounds, but never weighed-in until I remembered a few days after the race (weight loss was not my goal!) 

Plan On Purpose!
