The Couch to 5k in 9 weeks running program






Couch to 5k Treadmill Version

Thanks to Ian for creating this version of C25K which is perfect for use on a treadmill. I am often asked how fast you should run and walk on the treadmill. The answer is that you should run as slowly as possible. In fact, if you can run more slowly, you are probably running too fast. Speed will come over time (after you have finished the program). With the walking, just walk at a nice brisk pace.

Before you lace up those running shoes, I strongly advise you to consult with your healthcare provider. Although the program is structured to accommodate beginners, everyone’s health and physical condition is unique, and what works for one person might not work for another. Read more.
