A mistake I see often (and one I made myself) is attempting to start running by simply lacing up those trainers, getting out the front door and hoping for the best.
It can be disheartening if that approach ends up feeling a lot harder than you were expecting. Which is why you need the right structure, and a slow, sensible start to improving your running and fitness levels.
After researching a lot of the running plans out there, like Couch to 5k, I noticed most involve 3+ runs a week, but I know when I first started, I didn't want running to take over my life.
As I couldn't find a plan that did that for me, I decided to make one.
I created this plan for those who are simply looking to add in a run or two to compliment other training, or for those who don’t have the time to dedicate to running multiple times each week.
Across this plan you’ll find one run for each of the next 8 weeks, to help you improve your fitness and begin making your way towards your first 5km run.
