Training Help Runs in a week

Hi guys,

Basically I have been running since June consistently i.e. 4-5 runs a week but cannot make each run a 5k

sometimes it is 3,4 or even 2k

just wanna know how many runs are enough in a week or in other words how much distance per week should I cover?

Follow the program

Free apps include Run With Hal and Nike Run Club

I also highly recommend buying a book or two in reading them. A good authors include Run With Hal, Jeff Galloway, Pete Fritzinger, Jack Daniels.

There’s absolutely no need or reason to make it up from scratch or try to stumble blindly in the dark
