The Color Run!

I'm so excited, I just signed up for my first 5K!! Now to get to running status by May! Any tips/ideas? I know a few apps out there to help you get to 5k. Do any work?! Thank you!!

Don't inhale the colors.

Try out the C25K app/plan.

This. Pretty well any of these 5K plans will get you there if you do them consistently.

Congrats!
I just did the color run this past summer, it was super fun!
The above advice is spot on.
I like the C25K app by zen labs.
I do each week twice.
It makes the transitions a bit easier, especially if your starting from scratch.

As mentioned Couch to 5K is a great app. I also really like Zombies, Run 5k. It's similar to C25K, but a little less structured.

C25K is awesome. But don't rush through the color run. I did mine for time, and I REALLY wish I had slowed down to have more fun. Make sure to do a color throw afterwards too! Good luck!
