I trained for a 5k a couple years ago, man did it suck. But I got a free steak dinner out of it because my friend is an asshole and bet me he could beat me.

Advice? Break your training up into increments. You got like, 9 weeks right? So ramp up gradually. Start with running a mile, and every week or so tack on another one until you're up around 6. Run outside if you can, because treadmill training is garbage. I used Google Maps to help me map out routes for the distance I wanted around my neighborhood.

Breathing is everything when you're distance running. In through the nose, out through the mouth at a consistent pace is key, or else you get exhausted way faster (no homo).

Also, don't be an asshat and blitzkrieg the first part of your run because you think you can. You'll be shit out of luck and sucking wind the whole 2nd half of your run.
