Pre-preparation for 5k

Pre-preparation is necessary for beginners or athletes with no experience. What is the use of pre-preparation? Straight away going to training may result in injuries, unable to do as told, breathlessness etc. Pre-preparation gives you confidence and the will to do training. So it is recommended to go through pre-preparation .
Buy a good sports gear for athletics. You can practice in ground or road. You can walk and run by wearing a jogging shoe. For those who have no experience in wearing a spike shoe can use them while jogging. Don't use spike if you are planning to run on road.
Always warm up your body before every work out by exercising and warm down after your training session. You can train yourself either early morning or evening.

Day 1

Wear your jogging dress and shoe and be ready. Walking is your first workout. Use a stop watch to know how long you have walked. You can also use an I-pod or related equipment and listen to music while walking so that you won't feel tired. Walk as long as you can and note your time.

Day 2

Today try to increase your walking pace and walk as long as you can. Try to walk longer than you did yesterday.

Day 3 

Today do a combination of walking and jogging. Jog for 3 minutes and then walk for a minute and then again jog for 3 minutes. Continue this as long as you can and note your time.

Day 4

Today try to stride first for 30 seconds, then jog for 2 minute and then walk for 30 seconds. Keep doing these as long as possible.

Day 5

Jog as long as possible. Pace is not an issue.

Day 6

Jog for 5 minutes and then stride for 30 seconds. Keep doing this without pause as long as you can.
