Customer Reviews
Thanks Ben, we his has given me the drive to get back into running again after 18 months off with Bi-lateral patellar tendon ruptures (Same time). The plan is easy to follow. And helps with targets. The best part is the variety of runs. I never used to train differently - 1 pace all the time. So this is great. Knowing you can go slower to go faster.
Ben, thanks for this. It’s great. I’m sure I’ll be getting the other distances in the future.
I have only just started. I am finding the programme challenging but feel confident that, in time I will see some improvements. I think that I will get a lot of use out of it because once I have achieved 32 minutes I will start on the 31 minute programme. Eventually I hope to get a sub-30 minute 5k.
I absolutely loved this 5k running plan! As a beginner runner, I was intimidated by the thought of running a 5k, but this plan made it achievable and enjoyable. The plan was well-structured, with a gradual increase in distance and intensity that allowed me to build up my endurance without getting injured. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, the support from the community of fellow runners was also a huge motivator for me. After completing the program, I not only successfully ran a 5k, but I also feel more confident in my running abilities overall. I highly recommend this 5k running plan to anyone looking to start or improve their running journey.
I have bought a few pieces of clothing from Ben before and have always been impressed so I thought I would try out one of his training plans. I am currently on Week 2 and it is excellent, clear, concise and easy to follow. I have integrated Bens warmup and cooldown videos into my running and this plan is now really keeping me on track!! Would highly recommend
Have previously used Bens Beginner Half Marathon Plan for two races last year, and am currently following it for a third time for a spring half this year.
Bought the 5km Improver Plan (first paid plan I've ever bought) and after a quick review it looks to be just what I was after. Structured like the previous plans but with different run types and pace goals etc... that look to be bang on the money.
Will know for sure once I finish my half training but the 5km plan look to be spot on - a manageable stretch! Confident it'll take me where I want to go!
I'm using this plan after completing my first 5K. I'm finding the plan easy to follow and explanations for the different runs is great. Would recommend to those looking to progress from coach to 5K or similar.
I found Ben through YouTube and thought I would have a crack at one of the training plans. It is very nicely presented with lots of detail and covers lots of paces. I'm only a couple of weeks in but it seems very achievable and realistic
Great program that is easy to approach. I have not been running for years, and it’s been a joy using this to get going again 🙌
This plan covers all types of running background and is super specific, yet easy to read and follow.
I love how this plan shows me what needs to be done and when to do it. I can't wait to see the progress I make towards finally reaching a sub-30 minute 5K.
