This is a basic effort-based training plan designed to get you across the finish line feeling good!

This training plan is for beginners or those returning to running after a long time off who want to finish a 5K feeling strong. (If you are currently running 3 or more miles at one time comfortably, take a look at our Intermediate 5K training plan to see if that suits you!)
