Hello! I am new to all this, but as all of you, I am here to get fit and healthy!
To encourage my healthy kick and to stay motivated, I have signed up for a small 5k Marathon, my first one EVER! (hopefully it will be one of many...) However, I am a terrible runner and need some advice on how I should train to prepare for this? It's not till July so I have some time to improve my running skills. :noway:
Any advice or training ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Morning! I am running my first 1/2 marathon in June...I have ran 2 5k's so far...so I'm nervous too! All I can say is find a good training program and stick to it. If you're doing a 5k I would suggest couch to 5k0

coach to 5k if this is your first and you don't run already
FYI: a marathon is 26.2 miles. A 5k is 3.10 -
hehe i just learned the difference! =-) yes, 5k is a good way to start. I don't think I would survive a marathon quite yet!0
