Beginner to 5k
Why pay for a plan, when you can run for free and there is also a free app?
Here are 3 reasons why I think you should consider my plan rather than going it alone:
- You will always have a better chance of reaching your goal when you follow a plan, if it's really a goal, why would you not want to boost your chance of success?
- Most plans will just simply increase the time you're running each week and it can get monotonous. My plan of course does that, but each run is varied and different to keep you interested and engaged so - you'll never repeat the same run twice (unless you choose to!).
- It's so easy to give up or get distracted by yourself - I will actually be in your ear the whole time keeping you focused and motivated. You don't have to think, you don't have to time, you just simply have to press play and go.
So, if you're thinking of running a 5k this is for you.
I go into proven ways to improve your running fitness including endurance (the ability to keep going), anaerobic endurance (to keep going at a higher intensity) and ways to improve your anaerobic capacity (how much you can handle, so that when you go back to endurance, you can do more!).
I will coach you in real time, also giving tips and coaching in ways to improve your running technique, and importantly the things that most plans are missing in most plans are included in this one:
1. A proper warm up (not just 5 min walking)
2. A proper cool down and stretch
and finally, the big one...
3. Specific strength and conditioning to help prevent you from picking up common running injuries and niggles and help with your running fitness.
This plan is for designed for beginners just starting their running journey, but if you're looking to improve on your 5k or 10k run time, you can use this too. I'd recommend starting from week 5 and repeating each week twice. Do this and I can guarantee you're going to be running faster and beating your current run time (I'm so confident that if you don't, I will give you your money back!)
So, grab your trainers and let's go!
