Shorts and a light t-shirt if your being modest. Lighter is better.
If you are a women and are participating in a 5K race, then yes you should by some running shoes. Running shoes are designed to be more comfortable and safer than regular casual shoes.
The cycling equivalent distance to running a 5k is approximately 15 kilometers.
The From The Couch To 5K System is a set of steps that can get you quickly and in a stable manner from no running to doing 5K!
Yes, running a 5K in 18 minutes is a great time for a 15 year old. Congrats.I believe a 15 year old running a 5K in 18 minutes is excellent; competing time for a 5K is 19-20 minutes.
Depends.
try the couch to 5k. Google it and you can also download podcasts to your ipod. I just started it myself. I am running my 1st 5k this November.
A proform treadmill can be a useful piece of workout equipment in sticking to a 5K training plan. To develop a 5K training plan requires a bit of time and effort. First, a person should give one's self at least 7 to 8 weeks to prepare for a 5K race. The key to training effectively is to steadily increase the distance one runs on a daily basis. For example, a person may want to start running at one mile during the first week of a 5K training plan. Then, one can ultimately get to running 3 miles by increasing running distance by a half mile every week.
Level should remain fairly constant. oil changes 3-5k mi. If you are losing oil, that is a sign of wear.
Yes you can whay are you asking
Some runners (like me) actually go jogging the day of or day after a 5k race. The Lactic acid stays in your legs for some time after a race, and running pushed blood through, breaking up the acid and helping your legs heal.
I've been running 5k for around 6 eweks now (previously unable to run full 5k). I started out at 42 mins but now running 5k in 36.04. I'm still about 30 pounds over my desired weight so hope to improve further. Hope this helps.
