Training Plan Overview

The 5K Walk Training Plan is a perfect plan for those who want to get active and train to walk a 5K event. The program starts with four walking workouts of 15-20 minutes and gradually progresses to walking 40-60 minutes five times per week in ten weeks! It's fun, it's fast and it's the perfect way to get fit.

Follow this plan on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with alerts each day to help you complete the program showing routes each day. Learn more about our Walk 5k Training App.
