First things first: The “K” stands for kilometer, so a 5K is 5 kilometers long.
After a 5K, try 10 minutes of light jogging or run-walking followed by five minutes of walking at a slower pace. In addition, performing gentle stretches to the major leg muscle groups like the quads, hamstrings, hip flexors and calves is a good way to prevent your legs from tightening up.Sep 25, 2018
13.1 milesA half-marathon is 13.1 miles or 21 kilometers. This is exactly half the distance of a full marathon (26.2 miles). It's a good goal for runners who have already completed a 5K (3.1 mile) race or a 10K (6.2 mile) race and are looking for a new challenge.Dec 3, 2019
A 5K recovery plan would include 3 easy days after the race. My recommendation is to give yourself one day completely off after the race to sleep in and enjoy your accomplishment as a nice reward. This also gives you time to see how you fared and notice any post-race aches or pains.Nov 19, 2013
It can take your body up to 4 days to repair the muscle damage after racing a 5k, 10k, or half marathon. Your mind needs a rest too! Your spirit can only handle pushing through that pain barrier so many times. Taking a rest will give you time to just relax without the pressure of a goal.
A 5K race is 5 kilometers or 3.1 miles long and is a favorite among new and experienced runners alike.Jul 7, 2021
Factors such as age, sex, and fitness level can influence your 5K time. Many runners complete a 5K in 30 to 40 minutes, and many runners are satisfied with their time if it's around this benchmark. The average walker finishes a 5K in 45 to 60 minutes.Aug 9, 2019
A rough guide for a 15km run would be to start on an interval session of 20 minutes and build this up to 30 minutes, with interval sessions such as 6 x 1 minute and 5 x 2 minutes, at a pace around 10-15 seconds faster than your long slower runs.Sep 21, 2015
