My current training plan [link]
I’ve had a couple of people ask what I’m doing now, so I figured it would be good to share it here. The only modification that I’ve done is bumping the Thursday runs to Friday so I can play basketball that day. I’m also playing basketball on Mondays.

JsFiddle
“JsFiddle is a playground for web developers, a tool which may be used in many ways. One can use it as an online editor for snippets build from HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

For all of my previous runs I’ve been primarily focused on finishing. I would set little time goals, but they were always secondary to finishing. Another aspect of this particular time goal is that I’m going to do nothing but 5ks until I reach it. At that point I’ll set a new time goal for a 10k, and so on.
So for this race I set a time goal of 25 minutes. My only reason for picking this time was that my previous PR was 27:30, so two and half minutes faster seemed respectable (and 25 is a good “checkpoint” number too). I honestly had no idea how hard or easy it would be since it’s been so long since I’d done a 5k. More…
