What Is Couch To 5K And Why Is It So Popular?
“Couch To 5K” – often abbreviated to C25K – is a free running programme that takes people from being a non-runner sat on their sofa to their first-ever 5k event, usually in 9 weeks.
5K is 5 kilometers, or 5000 meters, which is 3.1 miles.
It was developed waay back in the day by a guy called Josh Clark for his website Kick! – now defunct – and got spread around the internet pretty quickly.
It’s now estimated to have been used by over 5 million runners, and there are countless variations of the original 9-week plan online, whether through apps or websites.
The Couch To 5K plan is so effective, the National Health Service in the UK even endorsed it as an official exercise plan.
