I've started it from the 8 weeks before race day so that gives just one last week before I become like the scary American guy off Celebrity Fit Club and try to train myself and bully my friends into running the whole 5k!
TERMINOLOGY IN THE LIST!
Walk: A nice fast walking pace!
Jog: Gentle running pace (should still able to chat easily throughout so don't go too fast!)
Walk/Jog: Walk for a bit then Jog for a bit! Alternate the cycle - shake things up a bit!
Run: Faster pace than jogging but still able to chat to friends (not all the time though ladies!)
Rest: Take a day off exercise or better still keep up the fitness and go swimming or to the gym!
I've had to set the training schedule out as a list instead as a table so it would fit into the blog - me and technology have a love/hate relationship!
Over each week there is a slightly different training plan which I hope is clear in the list below!
