Terry..
Thanks for responding. I was gonna mention about the sprints/run slow intervals..That is great to get her stamina built up. I did more of that when doing the half-marathon. Shoot with the 5K you could run say 3 times a week. Just dont run less then your 3.2 mile race. To be honest..I actually didn't train for the 5K..I just went out and did it..Now for the 10K I did train so to speak..I took the already 3 miles and gradually added more in a certain time period. I found out the hard way that my longest run when training for the half was 10miles..So u can imagine my body starting rebelling after I hit the 11 mile marker. Right now I am doing maybe 4 miles at the most..I am really trying hard to be easy on the foot/back.
One thing I do recommend is to run more outside..Then you will be more prepared for the race then from using a treadmill..
