training for 5K PR | road to running a faster 5k | track workout

running every day day 1132
What’s up everyone! You may remember that in my first 5k race I got beat by a 13 year old and that 13 year old went on to hit a 5K PR of 16:55… well I asked him to coach me and help me get my 5k time down because who better to help me out?! Alex is awesome and wise beyond his years for sure. Just because he's smaller than me doesn't mean I can't look up to him! Yesterday was his birthday actually so comment below to wish him a happy birthday! We’re going to be training and documenting to share with you guys but here was our first track workout. Let me know if you do this workout and how it goes!
