A running plan for the very time-efficient and serious runner who seeks personal bests and all-time fitness highs with a get-down-to-business training program. This plan uses running workouts programmed with specific paces based off previous race efforts or estimates of best efforts. As with any good training plan, it starts progressively and builds to a peak using a combination of quality and easy days, as well as other optional forms of non-impact cardio training, plus suggested resistance training days, to progress you to your new 5k PR or other running distance PR! The goal of this plan is to prepare you to run a faster 5k than ever before.
