This FASTEST 5K plan is a 10 week program that is designed for those looking to bust through specific 5km time barriers, particularly the 20 minutes, 25 minute and 30 minute barriers.
It is expected someone taking on this program has some running experience over at least the 5km distance and has been consistently running for at least 3-6 months.
The program includes aerobic running and aerobic endurance sessions to build the appropriate aerobic conditioning for success over the 5k distance. It also includes threshold and speed sessions to gain the anaerobic capacity, neuromuscular connections and speed needed to run fast over 5k. This is supplemented with S&C to build a strong, robust and resilient running body.
Most weeks include 5 sessions with a structured program of foundation, build and recovery weeks before a short taper in to race day.
