5k Training Guide

 This week's workout is aimed for all of you runners out there. I know it is cold and there was just a giant blizzard, but when there is a will there is a way.  Here is an awesome training guide that I have used in the past to train for a 5k.   You figure out your VDOT score using the chart above, then you use the times they provide you for the different types of workouts listed in the picture below.  This is a great workout plan.  I was always the kind of guy that just went for runs without direction and hoped for the best come race day.  This gave me the structure I needed.  As you can see, My VDOT score was 46 when I first did this workout.  I'm happy to see that I made progress, so my VDOT score is now 50.  I hope you guys enjoy this workout.  I am excited to complete this and see what the best time I can get is.  Good luck running!
