I would not consider myself a runner AT ALL…
However, I have completed a couple half marathons and many 5ks in my adult life. But for the most part, I usually sign up for a race then not really train for them. After the race, I would usually find myself in TONS of pain. In fact, I even injured myself during one of these runs!
The only training I’ve really done was when I was an assistant coach for the Girls on the Run program at my daughters school and helped a group of 3rd-5th graders train for a 5k. That program was over the course of a few months and we practiced 2 days a week after school. While it was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it for anyone that has daughters, I was not consistent about training for it other than the 2 days a week at school.
My family on 5k race day for Girls on the Run
Honestly, I’ve never had a running coach or trainer tell me exactly what I needed to do to actually train for a 5k. I know there are tons of 5k and marathon training programs out there on the internet, I just never followed one!! So when I found out we were adding this to our online streaming platform of workouts, I was intrigued!!
Ever want to run a 5k or improve your time?
In just 30 days, you can discover the joy of running, build a strong, lean physique, and use that strength and stamina to take on a different kind of goal: completing a 5K.
30 Day Breakaway is your chance to get back to the basics, cut through the everyday noise, and do what your body was born to do — run.
This program was designed by Super Trainer and track-and-field athlete Idalis Velazquez! She will be in your ear and by your side, you’ll get leaner, stronger, and 5K-ready in just 30 days. While I’m only on day 5, I love that I am able to have Idalis coaching me through each run and workout step by step! She leads you through fast and effective resistance workouts followed by interval run training that pushes you for short bursts at a level that’s right for you, whether that’s a brisk walk, slow jog, or steady run.
By Day 30, she is gonna have us ready to complete a 5K!
Who Is 30 Day Breakaway For?
30 Day Breakaway is for anyone who needs guidance in building a running foundation, someone who wants to run their first 5K, or experienced runners who want to improve and get the most out of their runs. It’s the perfect choice if you’re looking for a running program paired with resistance training for the ultimate fat-burn. And it’s a great option if you want to get outside for a change.
What Kind of Workouts are Included in 30 Day Breakaway?
You’ll be doing a mix of running and resistance training 6 days a week, 20–45 minutes a day. The 30 Day Breakaway Calendar is geared toward new runners who want to get comfortable with consistent runs and eventually complete a 5K. You’ll start with three walks or runs a week and progressively build up to five, all while lifting on certain days to help build lean muscle that will help power your runs.
So you can finally break away from everything that’s holding you back and help you get more fit, faster, and stronger — and ready to finish a 5K — in just 30 days.
