How to return to running

Getting back into running after time off can feel daunting - but with the right approach, it can also be exciting.

Whether your goal is to run a relaxed 5k, improve overall fitness, or simply get back into a rhythm, success comes from easing in gradually and focusing on the foundations. That means refreshing your form, building strength alongside your runs, and staying smart with recovery and nutrition.

For many, a steady 5k (5 kilometers, or about 3.1 miles) is the perfect reentry point. It’s achievable, motivating, and a great way to measure progress. Once you’ve hit that milestone, you can gradually work on pace, distance, or even sign up for a race to give yourself a new goal.

• Consistency is what really drives progress. To help stay on track, try:
• Creating a weekly routine with a few short, manageable runs
• Adding sessions to your calendar so they become part of your schedule
• Signing up for a race to give yourself accountability and motivation
• Running with friends, a club, or a training buddy for extra support

Runna makes this simple by building a personalized plan that adapts to your fitness, goals, and availability. We will give you the structure and support to rebuild fitness safely, regain consistency, and rediscover the joy of running, no matter how long it’s been.
