Plan Description

This is the plan I used to break 18 minutes in the 5k - https://my4.raceresult.com/314631/certificate/21/01_Urkunden%7CUrkundeGes and I am excited to share it with you! This plan is appropriate for people who can currently run 5km in 20-22 minutes and can commit to running 4-6 days per week.
