Humans spontaneously switch from a walk to a run as speed increases. In humans, the preferred transition speed from walking to running typically occurs around 2.0 m/s (7.2 km/h; 4.5 mph), although slight differences have been shown based on testing methodology. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Couch to 5K, abbreviated C25K, is an exercise plan that gradually progresses from beginner running toward a 5 kilometre (3.1 mile) run over nine weeks. [1] [2] The Couch to 5K running plan was created by Josh Clark in 1996. He developed the plan for new runners as motivation through manageable expectations.
The 5K run is a long-distance road running competition over a distance of five kilometres (3.107 mi). Also referred to as the 5K road race, 5 km, or simply 5K, ...
Race courses are usually held on the streets of major cities and towns but can be on any road. World Athletics recognizes eleven common distances for road races that are eligible to be counted for records if they meet the eligibility criteria: 1 mile (1,609.3 m), 5 kilometres (3.1 mi), 10 kilometres (6.2 mi), 15 kilometres (9.3 mi), 10 miles (16.1 km), 20 kilometres (12.4 mi), half marathon ...
The 5000 metres or 5000-metre run is a common long-distance running event in track and field, approximately equivalent to 3 miles 188 yards or 16,404 feet 2 inches. It is one of the track events in the Olympic Games and the World Championships in Athletics , run over 12 + 1 ⁄ 2 laps of a standard 400 m track, or 25 laps on an indoor 200 m track.
Runners stroll to the 0 m marker, then return to the 5 m marker A beep indicates the end of the rest period and the start of the next circuit (back to Step 1) After a predetermined number of circuits at a speed level (which varies with each version of the test), the speed level changes.
The conjecture was first posed in 1967 by German mathematician Jörg M. Wills, in purely number-theoretic terms, and independently in 1974 by T. W. Cusick; its illustrative and now-popular formulation dates to 1998. The conjecture is known to be true for seven runners or fewer, but the general case remains unsolved.
The course was 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) long which meant the run would consist of about 17.5 laps around the course. [10] The attempt took place on 6 May 2017 at 5:45 a.m. Central European Time . [10] Groups of 6 pacemakers ran in a diamond formation around the three runners and aimed to go through every 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) in 14:13.
