5K training and racing is hard, no matter your level of experience as a runner. Even if 3.1 miles is a warm-up for you, the distance can be challenging in terms of speed. If you want to improve your 5K time - whether that's a sub-40 min 5K, sub-30, or sub-20 - this is the episode for you!

We also answered a listener question on run-walk intervals.

Discussion points include:

  • Weekly mileage when training for a 5K
  • How to set a 5K goal pace
  • 5K pace specific workouts
  • Do you taper for a 5K?
  • How to fuel for a 5K race
  • Warming up before a 5K race
  • How to pace a 5K race
  • How to recover after a 5K race
