Free health & fitness tip: Weeks 5–8 (step 4 of 6 from "5K Running Plan").
Build run 5 / walk 1, then 8–10 minutes continuous with a walk sip. One session stays interval-based so you recover. Week 7–8: toward 20–25 minutes easy or a full 5K mix. Week 8 is slightly easier, then the event.
Do not cram a heroic 10K the weekend before.
Pro tip: The plan worked if you arrived at the start line not broken.
