Zero to Hero beginner running training plans
Who do you know who's about to start training for their very first 5K or 10K run? Perhaps it's your partner, a friend or colleague - or you!
WhittleFit have joined forces with Training Peaks to give beginner runners access to our exclusive "Zero to Hero" 5K and 10K training plans, specifically designed with beginners in mind.
Each online training plan is clearly structured to offer just the right balance of challenging and achievable, taking a new runner from 0 to 5K in 10 weeks or 0 to 10K in 14 weeks - safely and with confidence.
The plan builds progressively, starting with walk/run and finishing with the 5K or 10K run itself. Building from "baby steps" and progressing through "build phase" and "endurance", making sure to include "recovery" phases, it covers the crucial "peaking" and "race week" too. We've even included a guide to the best kit for a novice runner, and given useful nutritional advice to support your training.
The plan:
- Increased fitness, strength and stamina
- A structured 10-week and 14-week programme
- Specifically for beginner runners
- From walk/run to a 5K or 10K race
If you haven't come across Training Peaks before, take a look. It's a great resource and we're delighted to be able to share our coaching knowledge through their online portal.
Where do you come in? If the plan is not for you, please share the Training Peaks "Zero to Hero" 5K and 10K training plan link with anyone you know who has recently entered their first 5K or 10K, or who's thinking about it but isn't sure how to go about training effectively and safely.
Together, we can get them across the finish line with a smile on their face!
