Couch to 5KM – Your 3-Month Training Plan

So, you’re thinking about running your first 5KM at the Totalsports Women’s Race? Whether you’re starting from scratch or returning after a break, this is the perfect place to begin. The Totalsports Women’s Races aren’t about being the fastest — it’s about celebrating every step, together. Here’s your 3-month plan to go from couch to confident.

Month 1: Build the Habit

  • 3 walks/runs per week
  • Start with 20 minutes: 2 min walk, 30 sec–1 min jog
  • Focus on movement, not speed

 

Month 2: Increase Endurance

  • 3–4 sessions per week
  • More running, less walking
  • Try 2–3 min jog, 1–2 min walk, 30–40 min total

 

Month 3: Get Race Ready

  • Aim for 4 sessions/week
  • Build to 20–25 min continuous run
  • Add a “long” easy run each week
  • Practice race-day gear, route, and timing

 

Remember: walking is still winning. Every run is a victory.
