How can I train for a 6km run in 4 days?

Question

I've got a charity run in 4 days and haven't started training yet, any ideas about how i can train quickly so i'll actually be able to run it?

Answer 1

You can't improve your ability in the next 4 days, so work on what you can control:

1. Make sure you have good walking or running shoes that fit and don't give you blisters. Try them out on a 30 minute walk/jog today. If they bother you, find some good shoes tonight.

2. Eat healthy foods for the next 4 days. Don't change your diet too much, to prevent stomach problems.

3. Rest. Get those 8 or 9 hours of sleep that your body need for the next 3 nights.

4. Wear comfortable clothing on your run day. Find shorts and a shirt that don't chafe.

5. Drink some water before the start, maybe 30-60 minutes before the start.

With that, you'll be fine I expect. Start off at a jog, and run if you can. If you get tired, slow down. It's just for fun, right?

Answer 6

You can't, you will just have to do the best you can with whatever your current fitness level is.

Answer 7

you can not just walk it or run half of it and walk the rest

next time start earlier

Answer 8

It might be too late if you have not started. The best thing to do is: jog slowly for 10 min. for the first 2 days, do some acceleration on the 3rd day (at about 80% effort, and only do a few of them). Take the 4th day completely off.

You might have some soreness in your leg on the racing day, but that is OK, you can still run better than if not doing anything else.
