Note: To protect my face from the sun, wind, snow, fire and rain, I applied skin-tone bandages that are more protective than sunscreen liquid. Ask for Pro-Tips.

What is 5K?

5K is a distance that is often seen in foot races, such as the Olympics. But you don't need to run at full speed for this program. It is recommended to walk briskly!

5K is approximately 3 miles, and most adults can walk 5K in about one hour. That is 20 minutes per mile, or 3 miles per hour. It is a pace where you can have a conversation without running out of breath. This is definitely a good goal: to be able to walk 5K every few days.

Activate Your Mind:
10K is how many miles?

In 2018, I get

to walk 5K every other day;
about 15K per week;
a grand total of 750K per year!
Wow! That is equal in distance to 500 miles per year! When walking 15K, at first my shoe tread wore down constantly, but with my Pro Tips, my shoes are actually durable!
