This is a couch to 5K run plan! This is the perfect program for someone that needs a plan for their first 5K race. All the run workouts are based off Zone heart rate but can also go off by perceived effort or pace. This is an 8-week plan with 2 rest days. This program also provides strength training which is so important for runners to stay healthy and strong. There is 1 recovery in the program where volume and intensity drop. There is also 1 taper week approaching race week.
Any questions can be answered by certified Ironman couch and USAT triathlon coach, Kelsey Ramberg, coachramberg@gmail.com
I'm Kelsey a USAT Level 2 coach, 80/20 Endurance, Ironman University coach, and a 5x Ironman finisher including Kona.
I coach endurance athletes from beginner to advanced but my specialty is coaching women who want to train smarter by understanding their own physiology. Hormonal fluctuations, cycle syncing, fueling for women's bodies, recovery differences, aren't side notes in my coaching, they're central to it. Women who train with me stop fighting their bodies and start working with them.
