How much should you train if you are going to compete in a road race? Well the experts say you should be training 2-3 times the distance of the run weekly. That means if you are preparing for a 5k (3.1 mile) race, you should be running between 6 1/2 and 10 miles a week total. That could be 3 x 2 miles, 2 x 2 miles + 1 x 4 miles, or 2 x 4 miles. This prepares your body to handle the distance and gives you a good chance of improving your personal best time.
