This plan runs over 8 weeks. You can start at any point: do all 8 weeks or jump in wherever feels right.

Try our Sub 30 Minute 5km plan.So, you've just completed your Couch to 5km and now want to start smashing PBs? This 8 week plan is designed to have you shaving seconds from your PB every week, culminating with a challenging target of 30 minutes to finish. Try to focus on our range of tempo and intervals sessions to train the lungs and gain strength in the legs, all designed to lift your overall race pace. The weekend long runs will take you over race distance, so take them slow and soon 5k will seem like nothing. The beauty of this plan is that you can run a 5k every weekend. Either take it easy as a recovery or if you're feeling strong, head down to your local parkrun and see if you can beat last week's time.
