How do I train for a 5K marathon?
As with the other races, it’s crucial that you don’t start out too fast. Take your average mile-per-minute goal pace but this time, begin the race running at about 10–15 seconds slower than that number for the first 1–3 miles. For the next seven miles or so, pick up the pace gradually until you’re at your goal pace.
Is running 40 km a week good?
Start from a base of 20 km per week; you can build up to 40 km per week (enough to finish a marathon, if that interests you) in 10 to 12 weeks. Your long runs are another consideration. To avoid injury or fatigue, these should be increased by only 2 km per week.
