>>76579596Kilometers, as I said "20K">Start todayIts almost 11PM. Going to sleep in a bit but I get your point!>your guide is not optimal for a beginnerare you saying my Emi-chan is wrong desu??!got it, "conversational pace", train everyday at first.should I sprinkle in some Sprints from time to time, heard boxers do that???
>>76579641MB,Shouldve mentioned. Im making this post in bed as im about to sleep.
>>76579553Instead of c25k look up couch to 10k, same idea but why bother with the 5k goal.
11 Mondays between now and then. Plenty of time to build up to that distance, especially if you don't have a goal time in mind. Couch to 5 km is a good intro to running, but you don't have to ditch the walk breaks. Try 30 s of walking every time your breathing becomes laboured (wouldn't be able to comfortably speak a full sentence). Keep the walk breaks to 30 s and slowly reduce their frequency as you get fitter. Personally, I have a walk break every 5-7.5 min in training and every 15 min in half-marathons and longer races.>>76579596Running continuously is not optimal over long distance, except perhaps for elites in competition. Walk breaks are highly desirable in training, especially for beginners.>>76579668>should I sprinkle in some Sprints from time to time, heard boxers do that???One day a week with some harder efforts would be a good idea, yeah. Get at least two weeks done and see how you feel first though, especially if you are overweight. This is just the cherry on top, so don't wreck yourself with interval workouts. Take it as an opportunity to work on good form.
