We'll keep it simple this week...finish a 5K (3.1 miles). If you can run the full distance straight through, great. If you need to take walk breaks, that's fine, too.
In fact, Jeff Galloway, a famed American runner and Olympian, is a strong advocate of taking frequent walk breaks, even for advanced runners.
As with my post a while back about intensity, USE YOUR HEAD! If a 5K is a long distance for you at this point, use common sense and break it up into manageable portions.
The 5K is a standard distance so be sure to record your time and track progress as time passes.
