A look inside the guide:

  • Run Strong - 5K is purchased as a PDF instant download (it is printer friendly, if that’s more your style).

  • 8 weeks of mobility and strength workouts, running drills and run plans designed to get you running a 5K distance from start to finish.

  • Running exercise guides - warm-up and mobility, pelvic floor and breathing, and strength workouts.

  • 5K running guides - three 8 week options to choose from depending on how much (or how little!) structure you like.

  • Putting it all together: sample weekly schedules so you know exactly what to do each day of the week!

  • Run Strong - 5K can be completed as a standalone guide, and as a complement to The Early Days Postpartum.

Run Strong - 5K is the second half of The First 5K - Postpartum. Many people are interested in training for a 5K, and don’t necessarily need the postpartum information at this point in their lives. That’s why Run Strong - 5K was created. This guide is a great starting point for anybody wishing to train for a 5K, whether you’re a mom or not. The exercises, drills and running schedules in this guide are designed to help you become a strong, resilient runner no matter who you are. After completing The First 5K training plan, you will have a great foundation for progressing to longer distances if that’s what you are interested in.

Two reasons why Run Strong - 5K is great for busy people:

  • All of the workouts can be completed in 30 minutes or less (with the option to do what you can some days, even if you can't do the whole workout... because even the most organized of schedules can often change last minute!).

  • All of the runs, INCLUDING warm-up and cool down are between 30 and 49 minutes door to door.

Strong runners are resilient runners. Happy running!
