Plan Description
(updated June 15, 2021)
This is a foundational running program for beginners that have no prior running experience. It is designed to build endurance and stamina to eventually complete a 5km run without walking breaks.
I designed this plan using a slow progressive run-walk method based on distance instead of time. The plan starts off super easy with 100m runs and progresses slightly each week by building on total running distance. The plan is low intensity and the suggested heart rate target is never more than 65%.
All training sessions are done in zone 1 or 2. There is no speed, hill, or high-intensity interval work in this plan. Included is a detailed guide and weekly goals to help you start off on the right foot and remain focused the whole way through.
Because the plan is constantly evolving, the beginner will find it exciting and enjoyable. It's also VERY easy to follow.
BONUS: I included a 30-minute core strength video workout two times a week.
