I am planning to do a 5K run in July of this year
I am planning to do a 5K run in July of this year, and am looking for a good training plan. I am a 34 yr old male. Back when I was 22 and in good shape I did a 5K in under 26 minutes. When I was 30 and in average shape I did one in just over 27 minutes. In the past few years however, I got out of shape, and in October I learned I had high cholesterol and borderline blood sugar issues so it scared the heck out of me to get back in shape. In the last few months I have lost 15 lbs, and would like to lose another 10. The 5K in July is a good motivator for me. I'd like to beat my time of 26 minutes from 12 yrs ago.So, I'm wondering if someone could suggest a training plan. Currently I run about 4 miles 2-3 times a week, and do the eliptical for another 1-2 times a week. I also do weight training 2-3 times a week. I have been running on a treadmill at about a 10-11 minute mile pace on a 1% incline. Should I start to switch it up with some long distance and sprint days?
