A 5k run is within most people’s abilities if you’re in good health and have no serious illnesses or injury problems. If you’re wondering about entering a 5k run, there are many things you’ll need to think about before you mail off your application form.
- A check up at your doctors might be the first thing you do and if you've got any injuries, you’ll need to get a physiotherapist to fix them for you.
- Next, you’ll need to buy a good quality pair of running shoes. If you can visit a good running store that has running style testing equipment, then I thoroughly recommend that you do so.
After you’ve purchased your training shoes, wear them in for at least a week around the home, BEFORE you try training in them.
- Next I would recommend that you get hold of a running schedule, designed for your level of ability. ‘5K Training For Beginners’ is a first-rate choice. It features 4 starting points for you to select from, as well as tons of up to date training advice and advanced running techniques that help you to increase your fitness whilst actually doing less training.
- Finally you’ll need to pick the 5k run you’d like to take part in. Think about the area, the type of surface (does it contain hills, is it off road etc), how many weeks away is it and does that allow you an adequate amount of time to get ready. (Depending on your fitness levels, it should take between 6 - 10 weeks before your first race).

The last thing I should point out, there are two ways to get ready for a 5k run, you can go it on your own or hire a coach to work with you. If you like the thought of working with a running coach but don’t want to pay upwards of $50.00 per session, take a look at ‘5k Training For Beginners.’ It’s one of the most effective 5k training schedules for beginners available to immediately download online.
