Race for Life 2013

3 Replies

I have just signed up for Race for Life 5k in Leicester on 30 June 2013. A friend is going to do with me. Will download the training plan for jogging/running 5k. Last time I did Race for Life was 9 years ago in 2003.

I've signed up for one in June too - though I'm currently doubting whether I'll manage to run the whole thing - I'm battling to keep going for half the distance at the moment. But June is a fair way off yet!

Hi, I did the Race for Life in Leicester in 2009. Back then I was still a smoker, hadn't ever run and walked the lot. How times change!

I'm a little confused why you feel you need a training plan though. I don't know how far into it you are, but is C25K not the perfect plan already? If you're getting to the end of C25K without covering 5K, all you need to do is build on it by adding another 5-10 mins and you will be hitting the 5k mark.
