Novice 5K Training Plan

The novice 5K program is designed for someone who has never run a 5K. Beginning a running program can be a daunting and also negative experience if started too fast or furiously. This program uses a safe, slow introduction to running by using a walk/run interval.

Run Like a Mother® likes to use time, not distance because it is important to get your body used to the time at first. Before you know it, you will be covering the distance without even realizing it!

The program is gentle. Be patient with your progression; it is easy to get ahead of schedule and do too much. If you feel good, pick up the walk intervals to a faster pace. If the program feels too strenuous, slow down and let your body acclimate to the new exercise. The program is broken down into 3 run training sessions a week. The time covered is about 45 minutes.
