I had a wonderful dinner last night with friends. I found some new inspiration. One of my goals is suppose to run a 5k. However, I always end up hurting myself. My friend gave me some great advice. Below is the program that she sent to help me achieve my goal.
Advice
- Allow at least a day between runs when you begin.
- If in doubt, slow down. You should be able to hold a conversation while you run. Respecting your body is the best route to progression.
- Walk purposefully, and be strict with your run/walk timings.
- Take heart! You will get there!
