First Time 5K


This podcast is for every runner: The absolute beginner to the starter-over! It’s energetic, vibrant, and fun! Starting with week ONE and every week following, coach PETRA leads every key run of your training week; explains and guides you through every step. Each workout starts with a 5-minute warmup walk, followed by the main run, and finishes with a 5-minute cool-down walk. The workout is guided and motivated with euro dance tracks that inspire and push you to the end of each key run. Enjoy a famous running quote at the end of each episode and a word from your host, Pat Gallagher.
