Couch to 5k programme!
Every month we are encouraging people to join our new monthly challenges! They are fun, hard and will give you a goal to focus on throughout month.
It is getting colder but that doesn't mean we should be hiding inside - We are encouraging people to get out, get some fresh air and join our couch to 5k!
This is a 8 week plan for beginners. Be sensible and safe, if the running gets to much slow your rate down to a power walk. We suggest you to spread the sessions out throughout the week and have a rest day between each session.
Week | Session 1 | Session 2 | Session 3 |
Week 1 | Run 30 seconds, walk 30 seconds - Repeat 15 times | Run/Walk 10 min | Walk 5 km |
Week 2 | Run 45 seconds, walk 45 seconds - Repeat 12 times | Run/Walk 15 min | Walk 5 km |
Week 3 | Run 60 seconds, walk 60 seconds - Repeat 10 times | Run/Walk 20 min | Walk 5 km |
