For someone who is not a runner, running can seem like one of those unattainable goals. It is something a person only thinks about doing but never dreams it is possible.
Truth be told, running is hard. At first, you run a block and feel like your lungs are going to explode. It does get easier. Not EASY, but easier. The beginning years, yes, years of running can be challenging. As with anything else, the more you do it the BETTER you will get. I have been running since middle school but didn't really start RUNNING until my first year of marriage when we moved to Orlando.
I started with a run/walk plan and now I have I have several 5Ks and 2 half marathons under my belt --- Read my race recaps here! --- and you can do the same!
5K- 3.1 miles
1K is equal to .62 miles
If you can commit to running 3-4 times a week you can be on your way to your very FIRST 5K!
