FOREWARD
As a fitness enthusiast and long time-runner, I speak from personal experience. Everyone has to start somewhere. While I ran long distance events as a teenager, my running and personal fitness both took a back seat as I became a mother and career woman. I just didn’t think there was enough time in a day to get everything done. What I have learned since, is that I am most happy when I make time for the most important things, and my health and fitness is one of those! I started back into running in 2009, thanks to a friend who helped motivate me to train for my for my first half marathon. While going through a stressful time in life, and while living in a foreign country which was hot year round, my day began at 5am so I could be done with my run before it was time to wake the kids up for school.
I wish I’d had Coach Juber’s training plan back then! I really didn’t know the first place to start after so many years of being a non-runner, so I ended up wasting a lot of time and money trying things out. Like buying the wrong pair of shoes, not properly hydrating, and starting too fast rather than easing into my new running lifestyle. Not following a proper training plan resulted in a minor injury during my first half marathon. After proper healing, however, I went on to run my first Marathon, and I’ve run over 10 additional half marathons, 10K, and 5K races. Honestly, I lost count. I wasn’t doing it to impress anyone. I was doing it for me! Running became my therapy, and it still gives me that natural high you’ll soon come to love!
Coach Juber’s Training Plan is a great way to start! Whether you want to get into running for the first time, or if you’re getting back into running after an absence, this plan will set you on the course to a healthier lifestyle. Make sure you enjoy the delicious running drinks included as well. My favorite? Pineapple juice and the Banana Walnut Bliss Smoothie!
This training plan starts you off smart and anyone can run a 5K! You just need to follow the program. If you want, after your 5K, continue onto a 10K, then a half-marathon, then even a full marathon. You don’t think you can do it? Think again! You absolutely can!

BOOK DESCRIPTION
If you have ever thought about running a 5k, even if you have never done any running before, you must have looked at it in some depth. While running a 5k race doesn’t compare to the grueling and often unforgiving marathon distance, it’s still fairly tough and requires a high level of personal fitness. When you have accomplished your goal, you will feel very proud of yourself for all that you have accomplished and how far you have come. You will have a great deal of respect for yourself, for not just having dreamt about something, but also actually achieving it.
Every journey, whether long or short, starts with just one small step. Your first step was getting hold of this book, which will serve you as a training manual.
It covers all aspects of running: starting out, choosing the right sort of shoes, understanding all the changes your body will go through, avoiding injuries, ways to improve your fitness and endurance, and ways to achieve your goal, right through to the race day and beyond.
When you finish reading this book, though you may not be ready to run a 5k yet, you will know all about running one, and will be able to get ready for it. This book will provide you with all the necessary information to get ready.
Let the journey begin.
INTRODUCTION
So you are thinking about running a 5k? The 5k race is the most popular distance run, and there are usually thousands of events all around the world happening all through the year. A 5k race is basically a race spread over 5 kilometers or 3.1 miles, which will take an average person about 30 – 60 minutes to complete. Some people, of course, can do it faster. The fastest time ever recorded for a man completing a 5k was 12 minutes 37 seconds, which was accomplished in 2004 by Ethiopian distance runner Kenenisa Bekele. The fastest women’s time was 14 minutes 16 seconds, which was set by Meseret Defar in Oslo in 2007. These people are super humans, however.
The comparatively short distance means that it has an appeal to most people who would like to start running that just need a focus and a target to aim for. This could provide an excellent motivation to get fit and in good enough shape to start running long distances. Some of the most popular races have tens and thousands of participants, of all ages and from all wakes of life.
If you are just starting out and are worried about the level of commitment required, remember that this is much easier than running a 10k or a marathon, but it still does require commitment and effort. However, if you follow the plan and tips given in this book, you can achieve your fitness target in five weeks. It's not going to be easy, but it will be intensely rewarding and hopefully, even fun.
You will realize that all the effort was worth it the minute you cross the finish line. If you begin to lose motivation anywhere during the middle of the journey, just keep thinking about that moment of glory: the crowds cheering you on, your legs pumping faster than they ever have before, that adrenaline rush, and that newly fit body.
So tie up your laces and let’s go.
CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
So you have decided to run a 5k. Well, you have come to the right place if you need a guide on how to go about achieving your goal. Before you start, you should think carefully about the whole thing. The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step, and in your case, that first step was buying this book. You should be clear about your motivations because they will take you a long way.
Why is it that you want to do it? Do you want to get fit? Do you want to start running and think a 5k is a good place to start, or have you always just wanted to run a race but previously never thought you could? Write it all down.
This is not going to be an exercise in futility, but rather it will serve as a reminder in all the weeks to come. Remember that it is going to get tougher before it gets easier, and you will need something to keep you going through all of those days. There will be days when you just won't want to get out of bed, and there will be days when you will want to go the extra mile. So it will help to have something to keep you moving.
Write down all the reasons for you to do this, put them somewhere you can see them every day, and remember how you felt when you began. You are going to need all the motivation you can get.
If you are unsure about the level of commitment required and all the training you need to do, this book will help you in that regard. It will get you to that finish line, if you allow it to lead you on.
SO LET’S GET STARTED.
However, before you actually start running, you should go to your doctor and get his or her clearance. If you have health issues or old injuries, get them looked at, because with the additional strain placed on your body, they can become bigger problems. Remember that your health comes before everything else.
SETTING GOALS
As I have mentioned before, it helps to be extremely clear in your ideas and motivations. Why are you doing this, and what do you hope to achieve from it?
Write it all down before you begin. If your end goal is to run a proper 5k, it also helps to officially register for a race. It is actually recommended, because once you finally decide on it and register, it will provide you with motivation in all the weeks to follow. It will become the thing that keeps you going.
Think about when you want to do it. Again, it helps to have clear goals. If you are just starting out, you need at least five weeks to get in shape and to get your body up to par. You should remember that while hugely beneficial, running is not an easy activity, and it does have its toll on your body. When you increase your physical activity, there is an increased risk of injury and burnout, so it is always better to proceed slowly, with adequate precaution, slowly increasing the frequency, duration and intensity of your workout.
There are two types of goals: process goals and outcome goals. Process goals are those that will help you achieve your ultimate target.
