Plan Description

Welcome to our Beginner 10 weeks to Running 5km or for athlete that wants to come back to running after a long lay off

This program is not your 5km Personal Best program - we have a 4weeks to 5km PB program for that.

For this program you should be able to do an easy-brisk 40min walk when starting.
If that isn't you - our couch to 5km easy program will be for you.

This is a 10-week program designed to get you to run 5km continuously - even if its slow and at your own pace but to run without walking.

This program consist of 3 runs (2 x 30min and 1 x 40min), a 20min body weight runner strength set and a 15min stretch session each week.

So as you can see this is also a perfect program for the person who hasn't got a lot of time but would like to train effectively.
