What you need to know
Training takes place 4 days a week, with one day being a cross-training day.
You should already be able to jog for 20-30 minutes continuously.
Cross-training can be any type of continuous cardiovascular exercise such as cycling or swimming. This should be completed in 45-60 minutes.
Race pace means to run at the pace you expect or wish to run the race at. For example, if you wish to complete the race in 50 minutes, you should aim for 5-minute Kilometers (8.5-minute miles).
An easy pace means running at a comfortable, steady pace. These are your long runs, where it is about covering the distance comfortably, not the speed.
