Episode 62: 3 Ingredients for Your Fastest 5k

Episode 62: 3 Ingredients for Your Fastest 5k

Over the years of coaching hundreds of athletes to new personal bests from 1.5 mile military fitness tests up to the 50-mile ultramarathon distance, I've been given a "private look" inside how runners approach their training.

And most of the time, I'm horrified! There's no progression. They avoid race-specific workouts. I see pacing mistake after pacing mistake.

If you want to run faster you need to take the next logical step in how you prepare and plan your training schedule. Even though you might think the 5k is short, it demands very specific workouts.

Good 5k training includes three distinct aspects of running fitness: speed, race-specific fitness, and endurance.

Over-emphasize endurance and you won't have that "higher gear" to hammer the last mile.

Skip the specific 5k workouts and you'll feel flat with no power.

Balancing all three ensures that you'll feel powerful on race day and accomplish your race goals. So if you're wondering how to train for a 5k, here's how to execute each one (no matter what fitness level you're at right now).
