5K
Training Plans.

The 5K is often a new runner's first foray into endurance racing. It may be the shortest distance we offer, but don't be mistaken: it is far from a sprint.

Sessions over the 8-week plan focus on the same fundamentals as longer distances: speedwork, tempo runs and long slow runs. Your long run will often cover further than race distance. Train your legs to run 8km and they'll thank you on race day.

Just finished a couch-to-5K program? Start with your first 5k. Want to top the leaderboard at your local parkrun? The sub-18 or sub-20 will push you.

Also on this distance: 22-minute 5km training plan, 28-minute 5km training plan, 35-minute 5km training plan, 40-minute 5km training plan and no-time-target 5km training plan.

Finished a 5km and training for 21.1km? From a 5km to a half marathon.
