What is Couch 2 5k?

The official plan consists of ever-increasing intervals of running, interspersed with fast walking. It also relies on rest days to allow your body to build strength. The official plan takes 9 weeks in total to get you from absolutely no running ability, to running 5K non-stop. Other similar plans are available that may take a longer or shorter time to complete.

If you are here, you probably are a new runner and curious about the Couch 2 5k running program.

What is Couch 2 5K

To put it simply, it is a running program that focuses on building your ability via a run/walk cycle that gradually increases over the course of nine weeks.

There are many programs out there to choose from and we have linked a popular one in the community sidebar.

A great deal of people have used this program to get into running and progress up in distance.

What to post

Progress reports as you move through the program
Questions about the program and running in general
Race reports, accomplishments, and other running related achievements.
Selfies if you so desire.

What not to post

Asking for advice on injury (other than recovery related). We do realize that everyone may not have access to a Doctor but we have seen too much bad advice over the years that we'd prefer that the diagnoses are handled by professionals.
