ASICS 5K Intermediate Training

Coach Yasmin’s 5K Intermediate Training Program Presented by ASICS

Are you a new-to-intermediate runner looking to build consistency over the winter months and start the spring with a strong 5K time? This is the program for you! Choose this program if you’re comfortable running 2-3 miles at a time, 2-3 times per week.

You’ll spend 10 weeks building towards running 4 days a week and incorporating speed work to help you stay strong and get faster on race day. The workouts are time-based to fit your unique schedule and accommodate your current level of training.

Each runner should have medical clearance before starting the training program. If you’ve taken a break from running before starting this program, be sure to ease in and give your body time to adapt to the new load.

This training program begins on February 2, 2026.

Questions about the program and whether it is right for you can be sent to Coach Yasmin at 5Kcoach@cherryblossom.org.
