couch to 5K

Sedentary to runner

Couch to 5K is a training program designed to take sedentary beginners from inactivity to running a 5-kilometer race, typically over eight or nine weeks.

The program alternates walking and running intervals, gradually increasing running time.

Often abbreviated C25K: I started couch to 5K in January and ran my first race in March.
