Walk-Run 5k Training Plan

Training Plan Overview

The 5K Walk-Run Training Plan is a perfect plan for those who are currently walking or want to train to do a combination of mostly walking with a little running to finish a 5K event. Walk+Running involves intervals of mostly walking minutes with short running segments repeatedly through the workout. The program starts with three Walk+Run Workouts (1min run/3 min walk) and one walking only workout for 24-30 minutes each and gradually progresses to Walk+Running 40-60 minutes (2min run/3 min walk) three times, walking twice 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-Run 5k Training App.
