Ok, so I need some advise. I'd like to run a 5K Nov. 26th http://midwestsportsevents.com/events.php?EventID=14 and I just started running (2x last week). How do I train for this in 4 weeks? I'd like to compete in a quadrathon in Feb. and try a duatholon in May, which is why I'd like to start running. I'm also hoping it will jumpstart some weight loss...
I'm a single mom. I can run on the weekends, no problem. During the week is the hard part. If I run after work during the week I have to run with 2 dogs and pushing a stroller. Or, I could try and run during lunch but that's only a half an hour. Any ideas on how to do this? I'm also prone to shin splints, so I like to ease in to it. I just got brand new running shoes so I'm good there.
TIA!
