0km - 5km running plan in just 2 months? Good idea?

Question

Heres whats up in one big long breathless sentance:

im joining the army in two months I dont do much running I just had tonsel surgery and im healing and I also had a stress fracture on my foot but in 2 weeks when everythings healed im going to start running as I need to be able to run 5km in 20 minutes or less for the army several people reccommended that.

1st week after I recover:
1km runs, every other day

2nd week after I recover:
1km runs, every day

3rd week and beyond:
to and from school (5.3km) every morning and evening(most every day) starting out slowly with walking intervals as much as I can handle

My goal: by july I can run 5.3km in 20 minutes.


Possible? Too fast? suggestions?

Answer 1

Getting up to the 5K is easy enough. Its more the stress fracture that might hold you back. Foot injuries and a sport like running dont mix well. Sounds painful.

Answer 2

20 minutes is pretty quick. You may or may not be able to get there from where you are now. That depends on a lot of other factors.

Your plan looks fine though.

Answer 3

I suggest you get all of the rest you can get now because once you hit boot camp, you won't have a problem running. I guarantee it. Godlovya. Have a Snickers or something, Dude.
