Here’s a sample training plan if you aim to complete 50KM in one month.
The 50KM target distance is ideal for runners who are used to running 3KM and 5KM already. This training plan lets you run 5Ks during weekends and two 3Ks during weekdays. And finally, a 6K run to finish off the target distance.
The 50KM is also a good start to take running more seriously. From running 5Ks, you can add more mileage and be on you way to running your first 10K!
The training plan above is just an ideal case. No runner has exactly followed it. Below are actual run submissions from real runners who have joined the 50KM virtual run in the past.
This runner below has a similar training plan to the sample above. The distances are mostly 5Ks and 3Ks. The runner prefers to have rest days early in the week and then build up the mileage as the weekend gets near.
This runner can run more than 5K distances. Thus, there are fewer runs during weekdays but builds up on longer distances towards the weekend. This is great for runners who can run 10Ks already but have fewer free time during weekdays to run.
Each runner is unique. Find your rhythm too.
Good luck and keep on running.
