Time to start the 5K training program that I found on Hal Higdon’s website. Below is the Intermediate 5k run training outline, there are more options available and more run training lengths available.

This is the first leg of my training and will be done indoors until better weather has arrived. With all the other fitness workouts I am doing I feel this schedule is very doable.
