If you’re tackling a 5K for the first time or want to gradually build your endurance, start with this 6-week training program to steadily increase your time spent running versus walking! Timed intervals help runners stay motivated, and all runs clock in right around the 30-minute mark. Without any specific distances to hit, early-stage runners won’t have to worry about tracking their miles so long as they have a way to keep time. Plenty of rest days are built in for cross-training, recovery, and to help runners stick to the plan.
