Are you sitting in front of your computer screen now reading this post? Is your belly a little bigger than you would like it to be? Is it time you got off your butt and started training? Are you an American wanting to train for your first 5K?
Then read this post and find out why most 5K training guides are stinky!
5K Baby!
I am getting the running fever and have been looking online today for a good 5K manual. There are some half way decent ones out there but they are lacking in one major area.
Every 5K program is wanting to train me in miles! If I am going to train for a 5K(ilometer) then why are they offering me a training guide not in kilometers!?
To make this a little more frustrating I am currently live in Europe. Distance is not measured in miles but in kilos.
I am not going to convert the miles to kilos because it always comes to an odd number like 1.63 kilos. How would I measure that? Train hard but math simple!
Almost Great 5K Training Guides
Still Looking For A Great 5K Plan
What is the best 5K plan you have found. It can’t offer the program in miles. Comment below.
My new Year’s resolution is to run a 5k. I am taking it one step at a time. I am now up to 27 steps.
You are 27 steps ahead of me so far.
I think you have inadvertently found the reason most people are out of shape. It’s the confusion over metric/imperial conversion. If it wasn’t for that, we’d all be in great shape! I feel much better now. I think I’ll have a kilo of chocolate.
You measure your chocolate in kilos? I measure mine in pounds.
I measure mine in however I can to eat more of it.
Yeah, I measure it in my mouth first and then my stomach!
Last year, I tried the Couch to 5k program and actually cracked it. I didn’t mind too much about the km/mile conversion. This year, I am gonna crack the OHR (One hour runner) program
I am going to have to look up the OHR. I am still deciding which program I am going to follow.
I can do the conversions in my head, miles/kilometers, it’s all the same to me as long as you identify your units.
You’re one multi-talented lady
Instead of searching on google.com, check it on google.uk.
Hmm… I wonder if this would really work?
