20 Minute 5k Training Plan, Running With Strength Training

20 minute 5k workout

There is a month leading up to the 5k race you paid for. You want to keep working on strength training but you also need to get in that cardio to get a good time.

This at-home workout is for people who have a decent 5k time but want to keep their strength training up without losing muscle in the process. I tell my clients I don’t want you to run more than 20 minutes at a clip. Otherwise, you start to lose the muscle you have gained. But if you are running in a 5k and want a good time here is a good training regime you can try.

After this plan try our 30 Minute At Home Workout For Men, Abs, Cardio, Legs, Upper Body
