Welcome to the couch to 5K. We will not just be focusing on running because that will not optimize our training and would not be the best path for you to run a 5K and create habits that will benefit us for the long term. So this program is only 4 weeks and we will use our time as efficiently as possible to get you prepared for race day. We have 3 running days, 2 lifting sessions, and 1 bodyweight exercise session. Don't worry that does not mean we are working out 6 days a week only 5, as we encourage you to do as programmed if you need to make substitutions for different variations or rest an extra day please do so. However, DO NOT make a habit of this! You already get 2 built-in rest days and you are allowed to use them anywhere in the week but be consistent with which days you are resting.
