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
I have always hated running
I have tried to like running- and have always hated it-until now. This podcast is encouraging without being too cheesy- offers simple, do-able tips for beginners and gives enough structure to not only encourage but to also challenge you to push yourself. Well done!
Laura, who made me a real human !
Was completely out of shape. Can’t even think about running for a min. Now I’m running for 30 min + non-stop. Laura definitely brought me back to a real human. There are 8 of my family and friends following my footsteps now along with Laura ! Thanks to Laura and all who created this !
Stopped working
Great for weeks 1-4. Stopped working out of no where. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
