Just for starters: Training for the 5k (or 3 miles)

A good post on an new blog on running: How to start?????
Just starting to run, getting yourself together, away from the TV en onto the road can be hard. Most people start simply to run every time the same route through the neighborhood. In the beginning they see progress but then they settle for the same route always in say 20 minutes and that’s it.
This scheme from coolrunning will help those who start to run 5K (or 3 miles) in 30 minutes and by following the program, creating a good base to head on for longer distances en who knows….marathons? Remember every marathon runner had to start sometime!
My biggest problem with the schedules was that I wanted to increase the rate of progress and started skipping runs. However someone who completes the 5K within 4 weeks and stops for a week or won’t be able to repeat the 5k. If you follow the program and then rest you’ll see you can easily run the 5k e second time and once you have….start looking for a new schedule that takes you up to the 10k or even more.
