This is a running plan designed to get complete beginners from couch potato to running 5k (or 30 minutes) in nine weeks.
It is:
- Achievable - starting with a mix of running and walking and building up slowly
- Virtually free - all you need is a decent pair of trainers and an MP3 player (a regular mobile phone will do)
- Easy - a motivating 'personal trainer' tells you exactly when to stop and start.
The plan sets three runs per week with a day of rest between each run.

Customer Reviews
Fantastic program to get back into running
Program works and guides one to get back into shape.
Good pace and approach.
Host and presenter - sets a nice confident tone - you will enjoy Laura’s helping guidance and tips throughout.
Nicely done program!
This definitely worked for me
The program itself is great.
I had the episodes from the web site. Played one episode so far this time around from here.
If the episodes were to fail, I would suggest to get the episodes directly from the website. I do recommend the program.
Life changing
Former couch potato to half-marathon runner here. My early running success is directly attributable to this podcast. Completing (and persevering through) this program is one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life.
Thank you Laura and everyone who made this possible. I really love the songs. Y’all should make some Apple Music/Spotify playlists!
