3 Weeks to a Fast 5K-your tune up plan for a fast 5K post marathon

December 8, 2021 • 1 Comment

Track workouts Run Far Girl

If you’re just coming off a marathon or half marathon training cycle and wondering what is next, then you may want to take a look at the 5K. You can parlay your fitness into a fast 5K with just a few weeks of “tune-up” workouts.

Once you have recovered from your race, take three weeks to build back up and run these three key workouts along with your weekly mileage to get 5K-ready. These workouts are designed to increase your foot turnover and build speed and hone in on race pace.

Parlay your marathon or half marathon fitness to a fast 5k in three weeks

    First of all, I absolutely LOVE the look of your new site! It’s so fresh and clean - a perfect way to start the new year. Second, I was planning on running a fast 5K this month but every single weekend it seems there is another event or thing for the kids. Ugh!!! Maybe in January…
