What does it take to become a faster 5 km runner?

You have probably run a 5K timed race before. If you are an experienced runner and have not yet done so, I highly recommend that you do so before starting this training program.

Why?

Then you have something to compare your times to. You can see how good you have become.

To get faster at 5K, you need to improve: a) your endurance and b) your speed. You can do this by: 1) running more miles, 2) running faster, 3) a combination of 1 and 2.

What does the 5 km running program for experienced runners include?

You want to get the most out of your training. That’s why you should train 3-4 times a week. You will use the following types of training:

• Recovery run
• Easy run
• Tempo race
• Long runs
• Interval training
• Progressive race

Which days you train is up to you. Always plan your program around quality training (the hard training). I always take advantage of the opportunity to have as much break as possible between quality training.

Finally, you need to make minor changes to the program so that it suits you.
