5k racing training schedule

posted 4 months ago | Report

Can anyone recommend where I might get a good training schedule for 5ks? I have been building up a base but I want to start doing some training to be competitive in 5k races again.
I thought there might be a website I could find a good schedule on, any suggestions?

  What kind of mileage are you planning to do, and what is your goal time? Do you have experience with speedwork?

  thanks for the site suggestions!

  I used to run XC in high school and college so I have experience training for this distance- it's just been awhile and I cant remember exactly what our training used to be. I have no idea what to expect for a time but am hoping I can run as fast as I did in school! we'll see....

  Here's another good one that I used for about a year, loved it because I only ran 3x a week and most plans have you train 5-6 days a week which didn't fit my schedule:

  Try this plan: http://kalamazooarearunners.com/Training/KAR_5K_Training_High_Schedule.pdf

  It's a peak of about 45 mpw and has some speedwork, plus 10-12 mile long runs. It's basically what I'm doing, but I'm running a few extra miles because I have a half I need to finish as well.
