This schedule is designed to give the beginning runner the necessary training to complete a 5K race at a comfortable pace. The key is to exercise for 30 minutes four times per week. The Saturday run should include a 5 minute walking warm up and warm down. Start out at a pace that you can hold for the entire run. The running gets harder as the training progresses. Therefore, try to stick to the schedule and don’t over do it!
