Hill training is a form of training where you run up and down hill. This can help build endurance and muscle, resulting in faster speeds. Also, you may encounter a hill during a 5k, so hill training can help you prepare.  Find a steep hill in a safe area near you. Make sure it's at least 80 to 100 meters long. Start at the bottom of the hill and run up it at a consistent and fast pace. Then, slowly jog back down. Start slow. Do hill training once a week, engaging in 4 to 5 repetitions. Gradually work your way up to 8 to 10 repetitions. Do what feels right for your body. When 4 to 5 repetitions begins to feel easy, add a one or two more. Strong legs are essential for a fast pace. Squats and and lunges should be a part of your regular workout routine. Start slow with weight training. Only engage in weight training twice a week, doing a small number of repetitions. Never weight train two days in a row.  To do a squat, stand with your feet feet hip length apart and your arms at your side. Lower your body as far as you can by pushing your hips down and bending your knees. Raise your arms for balance. Pause for a moment and then lift your body back up.  To do a lunge, stand with your upper body straight and your shoulders held back. Step forward with one leg and bend your knee and lower your hips. Keep lowering until both knees are bent at a 90 degree angle. Then, keeping your weight in your heels, push yourself back to the starting position. You can increase endurance and strength by adding a bit more to your regular fitness routine. If you usually ride a stationary bike for 45 minutes a day, add an extra 10 minutes to go a full hour. If you usually do 5 to 10 repetitions of sit-ups or push-ups, add an extra 10 to 20 repetitions. You need to build your mental toughness in addition to your physical toughness to increase your 5k speed. Running fast requires a lot of endurance and dedication. Use visualization to imagine success. Before a run, spend some time imagining yourself successfully finishing the run at a faster speed than normal.  Take some time just before you start to run. After putting on your running gear, take a seat for a moment. Close your eyes and imagine. Make sure to use all your senses. Think about the smells and sounds you'll hear outside. Imagine how your body feels during a run. Think about the sensation of sweat, and the dry taste in your mouth. Think about the smells of cement or the nearby woods you run past. Imagine finishing the run in record time. Imagine pushing yourself without faltering or growing tired. Then, once you've finished visualizing, exit and take on your run.
