Intermediates training plan for the Vasculitis 5K

Here is our training plans for the Lauren Currie Twilight Foundation fight against vasculitis 5k from our very own personal trainer, Carolyne McDougall from Tangerine 13 Studios.

Her plan is based on going for a walk/run 3 times a week over the next 3 weeks.  You will need to mark out a 5k route and time each session

Intermediate

Intermediate runners would be classed as someone who has run in the past or who has built up some running in the past year but cannot run 5k without stopping.

Week One              Time yourself running your marked 5k route and remember where and for how long you had to take a walking break

Repeat this run for your next two sessions and try to cut down any walking breaks

Week Two              Change route and pick one now that is really hilly

Do this run for the 3 sessions, time each run and try to beat it each time

Week Three           Go back to the route from week one, try and run the full distance, no stopping – session 1

Find a steep hill and run up and down as many times as you can – session 2

Have an easy run, enjoy it and look forward to the race – session 3

You’ve ran before, you know it’s hard to get started but you also know that once you start training again it will become easier.  Focus on reminding your body of what it can achieve.
