33 Hours from my very first 5 K, What should I be doing?

[brett05]

I don't get it, but Good Luck to you!

My philosophy has always been to never run if you can walk, never walk if you can stand, never stand if you can sit, and never sit if you can lay down. But, hope you have fun.

If it wasn't for a need for my child to have a running buddy I'd be all over the laying part.

Can't. I love my kids too much

Then don't sweat it. It's only a 5K run. Just go for a nice leisurely jog and have fun.

Gotta think strategy my man. Here's what I would do. I would jump out front and run as fast as I can for the first mile. Keep that pace half way through the second mile and then pour it on ever faster. The final 1.1 miles will be all adrenaline, so again, just go as fast you humanly can.

 

[Mr. Cub]

Are you going to be chased by a lion or a cop?

[winos5]

just think of the endorphin high you will get if you push yourself to the extreme.

 

[L GUAPO]

Lots of water and complex carbs like pasta.

This.

Also the best way to train for a 5k is to train close to 10k per day. Also get as much sleep as you can. Good luck and try to get sub 20
