You could vary a fast walk with a run, until you just loop into a full run. Remember to stretch before and after each session, and hydrate before and after as well. Runs can be done outside or on a treadmill. Even a country road or a hard packed beach is easier on your feet and knees than a concrete sidewalk. Check your running shoes, make sure your soles have good tread on them. You may even want to treat yourself to a brand new pair of running shoes just for the 5K. Looking for a really colorful pair, and there are many now on the market, will make you look forward to your 5K even more. And after your 5K you may even make it to the next racing distance, the 10K! Happy running!
