If you’ve never run before or need support getting back to it, this program will help you to build up to complete the full 5K distance non-stop in the Groton 5K Road Race on May 4th, 2025. It starts with a series of run/walk intervals to get you moving gradually and pressure-free. As you progress through the training plan, you’ll spend less time walking and more time running until you find that you can complete the full 5K distance non-stop. There’s no better time to get going than now to enjoy the countless physical, mental, and emotional benefits. Most of all, you would love the fun and the good company!
