Advise for my dh regarding 5KM run.

[TysonNobdie86]

Hi posting to help dh. He has agreed to do a 5km run on the 17th April for the Air ambulance.
He has not yet started training as we have only just managed to afford his trainers.
Obviously it is not very far away.
Can I get some exercise suggestions like how many times a week should he run, how long for and tips for the day please.
He hasnt exercised properly for years but is a slim built healthy 29 year old.
TIA

There is a free podcast that you can download onto your ipod think it is from NHS that is couch to 5k, might be worth your dh having a go with that?

yes,couch to 5 k is good....have been doing it myself....its a 9 week programme so he could start at wk 3 or something if fit alreafy. its every other day

Thanks but dont have an Ipod. Is it on windows aswell? :)
