Please help - Running 5k race before training complete ?

[Viraniparvez]

Hi guys

Need your suggestions

Well I am on week 7 run 2 done today

I am more 7 run away from graduation run

A very unique event of running is taking place in our city . Considering the kind of city I am in. This is first time that a 5 k race is organised.

I really want to participate

My current score is

5.20 km in 39.40 minutes

Will that be fine ?

Should I go for it ?

I feel confident that I will be able to do it.

What things I should take care of ?

What I should keep in my mind before and during run ?

Pls help

I think you will be fine There will be people of all abilities joining in. Just sign up and have fun

You should certainly give it a go ! If it is the first time something like this has been organised in your city then the more people that turn up the more fun it will be. Don't worry about your speed just enjoy being part of something new...

Definitely give it a go. Just go very very slowly and you'll be fine

[Atalaya Graduate]

Loads of people do 5ks with no training whatsoever - ie Race for Life. You'll be absolutely fine.

[AdamB Graduate]

Not a problem - you have already done a 5K in under 40 minutes. You won't be first, but I doubt that you'll be last, either.

You know that you can do it, so just go out there and enjoy it. Running with other people will probably push you to go faster, so be prepared to be exhausted, but happy. Where on the planet are you, Viraniparvez?

You should absolutely go for it! You are already doing the distance in a reasonable time. Sign up and enjoy! How lovely to be in at the start of something new!

[c4ts Graduate]

GO for it, but just remember that this is only the first of many - you will become hooked like the rest of us.

[Hidden]

definitely go for it , it will be a great experience

[runswithdogs Graduate]

Heck yes! At our races we have some folks that walk for lots of it and take 50+ minutes. And of course the sub-20 minute folks. You should try it -you might really enjoy it.
