Keep on Running

A continuous 5 kilometre run, which is now also offered at many running or company events, can be a major hurdle for beginning runners. Beginners who have little or no running experience can use our free training plan to increase their fitness and have their first experience over this distance. Of course, even experienced runners can train with a targeted 5 km plan in order to get faster over longer distances.

The training plan provides 3 workouts per week and allows you to develop your personal training pace. It features short distances which you should cover by running continuously. Then, to catch your breath, you can treat yourself to a short break in which you walk. With each week, the running sessions get longer while the walking breaks get shorter. And after 8 weeks you are so fit that you’ll be able to run 5 km without a break. At the bottom of this page you will find a glossary with the most important terms that appear in your training plan. Good luck!
