5K TRAINING WITH CHAD FRITSCHE

I am excited to start your training in August in FL! I have been making sure to walk 30 minutes a day (at least three times a week). It will be great to have a coach! Do you have any advice? I used to run marathons. However, I stopped running due to a toe injury but am ready to get back into it after a taking a few years off. Any advice for someone who is getting back into running?

Awesome advice! Thank you!
Congratulations on taking your first steps towards training for a 5k after recovering from your injury. A few things I would recommend would be:
1. Check with your local running store down there to see if they doing any free running analysis to make sure you have the right shoe for your running style.
2. Take it very slow, start with more of a walk/run method and take it slow at first.
3. Always follow the 10% rule: never increase your time running or your total mileage in a week by more than 10% vs. the previous week.
I hope these tips along the upcoming training guides coming your way help you to get back to running again, maybe even another marathon someday? Good luck to you.
