This was the goal I mentioned in yesterday’s post: I want to be able to run a 5K distance in 45 minutes or less by two months from today.
I plan on using the indoor running track at our local YMCA three days per week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I have arranged to [...]
A few months ago you may remember me mentioning a couple of friends that were training for a 5K. It was so motivating for me that I dusted off the treadmill in the basement and tried gradually increasing the number of jogging minutes in a 30 minute interval. While I had gotten that [...]
