Coach Yasmin’s 5K Beginner Walk-Run Training Program Presented by ASICS

This program is designed for the non-runner and those individuals who run only a mile or two and have never run a 5K or 10K race. It is also suitable for those who engage in other aerobic activities such as cycling, rowing, basketball, etc., but who have not done much running. It is based on a walk-run approach and has been used successfully by thousands of past participants. Every participant should have medical clearance before starting the training program. Non-runners should follow the program as closely as possible. Those who have run in the past should follow the time guidelines but may want to take fewer walking breaks. While there is no guarantee of success, persons who diligently follow the program will increase the likelihood that they will finish the Credit Union Cherry Blossom 5K Run-Walk successfully. The training program begins on January 27, 2025.
