My friends are doing a 5k in october and want meto join. Anyone have any suggestions on howto keep my energy up training to do this? I am going to do the couch to 5k plan but concearned about stamina.
Since the 5k is in October (not too hot), it should be a good race for first timmer. I think you will be fine. I run 5k on the treadmill all the time without problem. It is a bit more difficult to run on the pavement so you do need to train on that. Maybe bring some water or gel pack with you in a belt. I have seen those.
I am also doing a 5k in October and am really excited.. I am walking mostly now with sections of running... I have to be careful because I get shin splints pretty bad. I doubt I will be able to run the whole way but I am gonna try my best!! A lot of 5k's welcome all levels.. walkers, runners, mix, etc..
This is the 5k that I registered for... Oct 21st in DC. It looks like SOOOO MUCH FUN!!! I can't wait!!!

If I were younger I would join you!! Have fun with it -- you can do 3.6 miles whether you walk or jog or run or all of the above. )
