Want to run a 5K, but not quite sure where to begin? Whether you’re returning to running from injury, or starting from scratch, you’ve come to the right place. Follow our beginner’s training plan below to help build your fitness, taking you from couch to 5K in just six weeks.
This training plan gradually increases the volume during this period, starting with a series of short run-walk intervals.
Indeed. I’m almost finished doing C25K again due to a huge gap in my running. As I’m from the UK, I use the NHS/BBC app and the course takes 9 weeks.
I’m a fan of the 9 week duration, better to spread your effort out when you are a beginner or returning.
