5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Full
Marathon… how far do you want to go? Where do you start
and how do you get to the point of crossing the finish
line feeling great and not beating yourself up in the
process?
Here are some tried and true
training schedules for 5K and 10K races used by Orlando
Women Runners.
Also check out training schedules
for Half and Full
Marathons
5K (3.1 Miles) Training:
5Ks are a lot of fun and you can
find a 5K happening on most weekends throughout Central
Florida during the running season (October – May). No
matter what your experience or pace level, everyone can
train for and enjoy running a 5K race.

Tips for Race Day:
> Arrive on time! Give yourself
ample time for parking, to locate the race start and to
use the “facilities” beforehand <wink>
> Drink plenty of water starting
the day before the race and the morning of
> Don’t “not eat” – a banana, apple
or bagel is good pre-race fuel.
> If you can, pick up your packet
the day before the race – this way you don’t have to
stand in line and take the packet back to your car
before the race.
> Bring a friend and have fun!
> Taking a walk break is OK – feel
free to scoff at anyone who says otherwise
10K (6.2 Miles) Training:
Running a 10K is the next step up
from a 5K. Many runners enjoy running a 10K as a new
challenge and others like to run a 10K race as part of
their training for a half marathon to help get more into
“race mode”.
