8 week plan

Your pace.
Your progress.

From the couch to your first 5K

SHOW UP.
START STRONG.

You don’t have to be a runner to begin. C25K gives you a plan: walk a little, run a little, and keep finding out what you can do.

1

Start where you are.

No running experience? You’re in the right place. C25K begins with a mix of walking and running.

2

Let the app guide you.

Listen for your audio cues. You’ll know when to walk and when to run, without watching the clock.

3

Make a little progress.

Follow the eight-week plan, one session at a time. There’s no need to be fast to get started.
