With so much running advice, technology, and information available, it can be easy to overthink where to start. Running doesn’t need to be complicated. It’s about building a routine, enjoying the process, and gradually becoming more comfortable with moving your body. I created this program for people in their first year of running who want a simple and structured way to build towards their first 5km. I’ll guide you through each stage, helping you develop consistency, confidence, and a love for running along the way. The Program Structure Smooth Progression: Starting with run/walk intervals and gradually building towards continuous running, this program helps you develop your endurance at a pace that suits your body. Built-In Recovery Weeks: Every 4th week is intentionally easier, giving your body time to recover, adapt, and prepare for the next stage of training. Intuitive Pacing: I’ll teach you how to run by feel and understand your natural rhythm, rather than relying only on watch data. Variety of Training: The program includes cross-training and strength work to support your running, build durability, and safely improve your fitness. Prerequisites None — this program is suitable for complete beginners. You can start from the couch and build your way towards your first 5km.
