Couch 2 5K - Week 7

This series is for beginning or returning runners who are interested in running a 5K.  It is a 9-week program to get you off the couch and to the races! Speed is not the concern, be active is the key! It is a great way to start a new year and do it with your friends.

If you haven`t ran with this series yet, the work outs are getting a bit more strenuous and would probably not be for a beginner. If there is enough interest after this series, I may start another one after this one is finished.

Week 7

Now comes the test! From here on out, we are pushing for that 3 mile mark! We are so close, 2/3^rd`s the way to our goal!

Workout:

5 minute Warm-up

Jog .5 miles/Walk .25 miles Jog .75 miles/Walk .25 miles Jog .5 miles/Walk .25 miles

Finishing with a 5 minute cool down

Remember: Bring plenty of water, comfortable clothes and shoes. A watch with a stopwatch built-in is a great extra (will be a needed accessory for your other workouts through the week).

Quote of the Week:

"The great thing about athletics is that it`s like poker, sometimes you know what`s in your hand and it may be a load of rubbish, but you`ve got to keep up the front."
--Sebastian Coe

KEEP UP THE HARD WORK! KEEP TRAINING! STAY FOCUSED AND BE READY FOR NEXT WEEK`S WORKOUT!
