Derek Hawkins - 2016 Olympian Couch to 5k
Length
6 Weeks
Plan Description
This plan is a good introduction to those that don't run at all yet. It has been designed to get you round your first 5k race, probably with a few short walking breaks. The schedule will take you through six weeks, starting with short runs with walk breaks
Before setting out on an exercise regime you are well advised to visit your doctor for a check-up. A good doctor will be pleased to see you and should give you some advice on setting out – particularly if you have had a health problem like asthma or suffer from carrying excess weight.
On the day of the race, don’t try any food/drinks/gels that you haven’t tried before in training. Stick to what you’re used to.
