You’re doing Couch to 5K wrong
BE FLEXIBLE
While some will find the volume on the plan builds up too quickly, others might find it progresses too slowly
Alexandra Goldstraw,who coaches women through the Coach to 5K plan with her running group,She Runs Lincolnshire,says the plan needs to be adapted for those who already have some base fitness.
“I dislike the term Couch to 5K as it insinuates anyone who hasn’t run before has just sat on their backside!”she laughs.Sharon agrees.“The schedule doesn’t progress quickly enough for beginners who have a good level of aerobic fitness from participating in other sports.At my club,we write a shorter plan for these people.”
