Before you know it, you are running a 5k! But a lot of runners have a hard time making improvements after they have become comfortable with 2-3 mile runs. You want to continue to build your endurance and run a little further or longer. Maybe you even want to run a 10 miler or half marathon, but itâs daunting.
You can also do 5K goal pace long runs. To perform this run you simply run the mile or two at your goal 5K pace. These 5K goal pace long runs should be progressive in nature. For example, a long run early in your training cycle could be 12 miles with the first 11 at an easy pace and the final mile at 5K pace.
