This is the exact running plan I followed for two months to finally get my 5K run time under 30 minutes
By Ruth Gaukrodger Verified| Fit&Well Verified I first started running in 2020 when I did a Couch to 5K program. I completed the running plan in a few months and felt pretty proud of myself. However, by the end of the program, I wasn’t actually running 5km—I was running for 30 minutes, which took me to around 4.5km. That’s the quiet flaw with Couch to 5K programs. Despite the name, they train you to run for time, not distance.
I got my fastest 5K running time in these best-selling shoes from Brooks-and they’re currently at their lowest price in the Amazon Spring Sale
By Ruth Gaukrodger Verified| Fit&Well Verified Last year, I downloaded a running plan in an attempt to speed up my 5K times. I armed myself with a pair of Brooks Ghost 16 and spent months racking up slow miles to improve my base fitness and cardio endurance. I finally managed to get my 5k running time under 30 minutes, finishing at 28min 39sec. Switching my old sneakers for the Brooks Ghost 16 definitely helped. The shoes’ comfort and bounce kept me comfortable on concrete surfaces, even when tackling longer 10km jogs.
