5k Training Program Options:
1. Walk—You are new to exercise and want to connect with others in your community. You might have an injury, or life has gotten in the way, but you want to return to exercising.
2. Speed Walk—You currently walk briskly 2-4 times per week. You want to improve your fitness, but running is not for you.
3. Run/Walk—You would like to introduce running into your fitness routine, or the interval training of run/walk is more your speed. You would like a program that starts with intervals with more walking and switches to more running intervals as the weeks progress.
4. Run—You currently run 2-3 times per week. You like your pace and want to run with other women.
5. Advanced Run—You want to increase your running speed and improve your 5k time. You are interested in a group that includes speed work once a week.
