Still have questions about this plan?Plan Description
A very time-efficient running plan for those with little to no serious running background. This plan uses primarily running, starting off slow and easy, and other optional forms of non-impact cardio training, plus suggested resistance training days, to progress you to completion of a very successful 10k or all-around improved running ability, including high intensity intervals, and a faster 5k, 10k, or half marathon! The goal of this plan is to prepare you to run a 10k from start to finish and put you in position to break through personal records at the finish line. This program could also be used as a supplement to many other fitness plans to enhance running-specific fitness. If running is your fitness area for improvement, this plan is for you.
