Run-Walk 5k Training Plan

Training Plan Overview

The 5K Run+Walk Training Plan is a perfect plan for those who are currently working out and want to train to finish a 5K the enjoyable way (with a combination of mostly running with a little walking)! Run+Walking involves intervals of mostly running minutes with short walking segments repeatedly through the workout. The program starts with three 25-30 minute Run+Walk Workouts (3min run/2 min walk) and one 30-minute cross-training workout and gradually progresses to three Run+Walk Workouts (5min run/1 min walk), and one crossing training workout. Run+Walk is an easy way to learn to run and have fun along the way!

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 Run-Walk 5k Training App.
