Answer 1

If you start out doing a mile run two to three times a week your endurance would improve in as little as a week, but that alone is not gonna get you ready to run 5 miles. After your initial two weeks of the single mile runs, incorporate at least one long run during the week while still running your single miles. Also drink more water daily

Answer 2

If you start out doing a mile run two to three times a week your endurance would improve in as little as a week, but that alone is not gonna get you ready to run 5 miles. After your initial two weeks of the single mile runs, incorporate at least one long run during the week while still running your single miles. In about a month to a month and a half with a lot of dedication you could be able to run 5 miles.
