5K Run - Couch to 5K Training

Start your 5K running journey today! 5K Run is the best running app for beginners who want to learn to run. Go from walking to running a 5K in just 8 weeks with our proven walk-to-run interval training program. No experience needed — this beginner running plan will get you across the finish line!

🏃 HOW THE 5K TRAINING PLAN WORKS

Your 8-week program builds your endurance gradually using run/walk intervals. You'll start with short 1-minute jogging intervals between 1.5-minute walks. Each week the running intervals get longer and the walking breaks get shorter. Before you know it, you'll be running a full 5K without stopping!

Week 1: Short jog intervals with walking recovery
Weeks 2–4: Gradually longer running intervals
Weeks 5–7: Extended runs with fewer walk breaks
Week 8: Run a full 5K — you did it!

🎧 YOUR PERSONAL RUNNING COACH

Take your phone on your runs and let 5K Run coach you through every step. Your running coach tells you exactly when to run, walk, warm up, and cool down — right through your headphones or speakers. Play your favorite music from any music app and the coach will chime in over your playlist.

While running, see at a glance:
✔ Total run time elapsed
✔ Time remaining on your run
✔ Current interval countdown

Need a break? Pause anytime. Skip forward or back between intervals with simple controls.
