The 5K Beginner plan is geared towards new runners who want to run a 5K successfully. The plan includes a mix of running easy days, long endurance runs, cross-training and rest, along with yoga and functional strength sessions. It also includes a field test to set up heart rate zones.
The plan is perfect for those who have been running 2-3 times per week for 20-30 minutes.
