Plan Description

"My First 5k" is a running program made for individuals who want to run their first continuous 5k but are not sure where to start.

This program will include run/walk interval sessions to help you build the strength, endurance and confidence to run 5 kilometres continuously in 10 weeks.

If you are someone that:

- has never run 5k continuously before
- loves and wants to run but keeps getting injured
- returning from injury or a long time off running
- wants to start running but you don't know where to start

This program is for you

What this program will involve:
- 3 x run/walk sessions per week that gradually increase in distance and/or time over a 10-week period.
- Educational notes explaining the purpose of each week and what we are trying to achieve
- Tips and exercises to help with strength and recovery to prevent injury throughout the program.

Good Luck and Happy Running!!!
