Couch to brAVERY 5K
Hey there everyone!
I know that some people have never participated in a 5K before, so we have a couch to 5K training program!
Lets start from the beginning: a 5K is 3.1 miles, you can walk, run or a combination of both. This training program will work for any fitness level, at home or at a gym! For those of you that are unable to run just change  the word "Jog" into the work "walk" and the word "walk" into "rest".
       example. day one: alternate 1 minute jogging, 1 1/2 minutes walking for a total of 20 minutes
       would be: day one: alternate 1 minute walking, 1 1/2 minutes of rest for a total of 20 minutes
What you need:

  • Water
  • Proper attire: walking/running shoes, comfortable clothing
  • Some way of keeping track of time (watch, treadmill timer, cell phone... whatever works!)
    • Ex. day one: alternate 1 minute jogging, 1 1/2 minutes walking for a total of 20 minutes 
I will post each week's training calender on Mondays or I can email the program to you if you send me a email!
 
Thanks for helping us raise SMA awareness for Avery!
