How to plan a 5K

This week, if you’ve been following on from the beginning marks the end of the plan – and time to put all this training to the test! If you’re a bit behind then never fear: we’ve still got more episodes to come to keep you going. But if this is your final week and you’re wondering where to start with getting a 5K in the calendar, we’ve got some top tips (as well as some slightly silly ones) for measuring distances and plotting routes if you’re going it alone, as well as our suggestions for local events to watch our for.

How to celebrate a big run

 We’re also getting a little over excited this week about what we might do to celebrate Cara’s 5K. We’re talking roasts, brunch, Prosecco and all sorts. Whatever your idea of fun, make sure you’ve got something in the calendar that allows you to celebrate yourself and your huge achievement.
