Hi guys, Janice here. Any tips on how to break 30 minutes for the 5k marathon?
I already went to my local running store and picked out the most expensive shoes, gels, and other gear, but need race workouts.
Currently I am running about 2 miles a day in about 25 minutes, and at our local july 4th race I ran 40:11 in the blistering 80 degree heat (with humidity!)
Forgot to start training.
It’s ok, I’ll start in the front row with the other 30 min 5k runners. Then I’ll walk around with my finishers medal everywhere I go the whole weekend to let everyone know I ran a 5k.
The big week is here! The Cranberry Sauce Boss is ready...are you?

Bumping for the Cranberry Sauce Boss. How's the training going? Are you prepared to go home devastated?
My girlfriend calls me the sauce boss, if you know what I mean...
Anyways, I'm going sub 20 this weekend in my local trot. I got new $160 dollar shoes, but I still need to decide between wearing my friend's Boston qualifying jacket or going shirtless.
Gobble gobble, everyone!
Fuel belt ready!

College uniform OR professional running kit are the only acceptable answers.
Three more days, hobby joggers, three more days.
Where's the cranberry sauce boss?
I'm ready. I've stocked up my race belt with gels and will be wearing a camel back too. I'm planning to start my carb loading this evening and have downloaded the latest Taylor Swift album for my iPlod.
My training has gone really well. The weekly 2 mile run / walks I've been doing for the last 6 weeks should see me break my PR of 36.25.
I'm tempoing in my college uniform and jasaris
HAHA, 1 of my friends, when he runs a 5K, actually warms up beforehand! So hilarious! I mean, it's ONLY THREE MILES! I never warm up at all and most of the time, I complete the whole race without even stopping to walk! (Except for water stations. I mean, obviously)
And he's out there running around on the race course before the race like a weirdo. You should see him.
I'm like embarrassed for people to know he's actually my friend!
I bought new clayton 2's during bib pickup at sports basement, ran an easy 5k on them that day, then yesterday 4x1 mile repeats at 5K pace
GOBBLE GOBBLE M'fers!!! I am ready
other than being sick/having a cold right now, and losing 4 months to injury, and being in my mid 40s, all is good!
I'll line up about 10 rows back from the front , goal is 20:30 [would be a masters PR for me]
today: easy 5k
tomorrow: 45 min easy treadmill
wed: 2 miles of 800s at 5K goal pace
Gobble Gobble, M'fers!!!11
I'm so excited. Should be about 58* at the start [slightly warm, might go shirtless. Heeeey ladies!]

Excellent!
Two more days, hobby joggers! Two more days...
sub-17 is my goal this year
Srs question - what's wrong with shorts over tights (men only)?
I'm doing the full half-mary, so I'm going to be out in the cold a lot longer than the amateurs.
8 months til the Turkey Trot. How's your training?
Sam Joe,
I'm pretty sure I got you pegged. You are a local runner who thinks he's a big deal, because he wins the local race of 150 runners , in 17:30. Since there are now 18 races to choose from every weekend, rather than 4 to choose from 20 years ago, and there were tons of runners under 16 minutes. Now, you strut around calling 20 minute runners "hobby joggers"
By the time you are 39, you'll be washed up. Meanwhile guys in their 50's are still running under 19 minutes, and on their warm down while you're struggling the last 1/4 mile.
