Plan Details / Who is this for?

I’ve designed the plan for anyone who has already run a 5k in the past and is looking to improve on their previous time.

Ideal for anyone targeting a 26-32 minute finish time.

The first week is 10 miles / 16km.

The biggest week is 20 miles / 32km.

Three to four runs each week.

The plan has both miles and kilometres.

10 weeks in length, with easy to understand structured training with time set aside for you to implement your own strength training.

Optional Strength Routine Add On

The 'Plan + Strength Routine' option includes the full plan plus 3 integrated "at home" strength routines with warm up and cool down exercises.

Beginner friendly and easy to follow.

No equipment necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the training plans in miles or kilometers?

We have written the training plans in both miles and kms, both of which are included in the PDF file so you can refer to whichever one suits you.

The pace charts are also in miles and km's too.

How will I receive my plan?

You will receive an email with a link to download your plan straight after purchase.

You can also click a link on the checkout success page.

This will download the PDF file to your computer, tablet or phone. 

What format do the training plans come in?

The plans are a downloadable PDF file which you can view on any device or print off.

You will be emailed the link to download your plan.

Please note the plan can only be downloaded a maximum of 5 times. 

I feel I am in between two training plans, which one should I go for?

Each plan gives the number of days of training per week, so we’d advise going for the one which best fits in with your current lifestyle and commitments.

Also consider the number of miles or km's for the first week and peak week and compare that figure to where you are currently.

The best success will come from following a plan that is achievable given your lifestyle and current fitness.

Clearly explained strategy

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.

Absolutely loved it!

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.

Amazing and very detail oriented plan

I am mid way into this plan, and I find it really good. Has good strength exercises, and the right balance of long runs and speed work outs.

Great plans!

As a new runner I’ve done the 10k l1 first and am now a few weeks into the 5k l2. It’s great how the plan gets me through this with sufficient rest while still being challenging enough and keeping me injury free!
