I was a high school trackstar.
High school was looooong ago..
My 1st 5K I ran 36:50
My 2nd was 34:44
I would like to get down progressively, but I am
committed. I am in good health, but had
an 11 lb. baby 10 months ago, have severe
anemia and need to loose some weight. I can
run the whole way without stopping, but I go
so slowly!
I'm 5'10, a lot of muscle, 188 pounds (I look slimmer)
and have a whole lot of heart.
It was raining both race days.
I have good shoes now.
Can't think of what other details you might want.
Please give your best advice.
Thanks!

Goal: 24 minutes or better...
Past events: 400M dash and Mile relay... I was fassst

Hello,

Congrats on your new little one. I'd adopt a training plan that gradually increases your mileage and intensity. See the links below and add some of these workouts into your routine. I would think that your goal (sub-24) is attainable...just take it one race at a time. Best of luck!

I am an ex collegiate runner who has an one year old and the best advice I can give is take a look at your running form. You know it is the same? Do you enter a distance race with the same mentality as a sprinter, you shouldn't. Also, What is your weekly mileage. Are you devoting atleast 3 days to serious workouts? Be patient with yourself your post baby baggage could be a factor as well

Do some speed repeats on the track once a week. Run up and down hills.

Practice long distance events and use weights if you find the distance you are running easy. It won't happen really quickly but you will improve.

Take a dump before your race.

Lighten the load and away you go.
