5K Training Plan For Kids. Training towards a 5k is a great goal for beginner runners. 5000 meters, 3.1 miles, or perhaps 16404 feet…whichever way you want to define the distance, the 5k race distance is an ideal running challenge for beginners and pro’s alike.
If your goal is to walk the race and have fun, kids of any age can take part. This plan was created by annie mccabe, a former dietetic intern at the medical university of south carolina. Download the chart below for a kids couch to 5k program.
