How to start running

If you’re new to running or coming back after time away, the Couch to 5k is the perfect place to start. It’s one of the most popular and effective ways to begin - gradual, achievable, and designed for absolutely anyone, no matter your fitness level.

The method is simple but powerful: start with short bursts of running, balanced with walking, so your body adapts without feeling overwhelmed. Each week, the walking eases off, the running builds up, and before you know it, 5k feels within reach.

Why it works:
Progressive: You build up in small steps, never more than you can handle.
Protective: Walking breaks reduce impact, helping you stay consistent and injury-free.
Confidence-boosting: Every milestone proves you’re capable and keeps motivation high.

The real secret is consistency. Scheduling your runs, finding a buddy or group, or setting a 5k goal on the horizon makes the journey more enjoyable and sustainable.

With Runna, you’ll have a personalized Couch to 5k plan tailored to your lifestyle, fitness, and goals. Press "Go", follow the sessions, and we’ll take care of the rest - guiding you step by step until you’re running 5k with confidence.

Hi! Taking on Couch to 5k is the perfect first step - and I’ll be right there with you. With every run I’ll push you forward, keep you on track, and make sure you finish stronger than you thought possible. Stick with the plan and we’ll smash that first 5k together.
