Are you not fit enough, overweight, or do you consider yourself anything but athletic? Then the 5 km running schedule for absolute beginners in running offers you the perfect start. This schedule helps your body get used to this new form of exercise. The program also includes times when you walk alone. Slowly, short running sections are added to these walking sessions. In this way, you will work steadily towards the 12 km over a period of 5 weeks!

Do you already have a reasonable level of fitness? Do you cycle more often than drive, or do you regularly practice another sport? Then the 5 km running schedule for beginners forms a suitable foundation for you. This schedule also builds up the running duration, but contains fewer walking moments compared to the schedule for absolute beginners. Our 10 km running schedule is another step up.
