Recommended starting point:

  • Weekly running: 10-20 km
  • Running days: 3-4 days per week
  • Long run: around 5-9 km
  • Recent 5K: ideally within reach of 30:00-33:00

What the plan focuses on

  • • 5K-specific intervals
  • • Tempo and threshold work
  • • Easy mileage to support recovery
  • • A progressive long run
  • • A taper before race day

Not sure if this goal is realistic?

If you are not currently running close to this level, start with a less aggressive goal. You can adjust the plan after generating it.

How this training plan works

  • • Choose your race date and preview the full schedule before saving it.
  • • Adjust the plan after generation if your current training, long run, or weekly mileage needs a better fit.
  • • Save the plan to your account so you can return to it and export workouts to your calendar.

Before you start

  • • Use the recommended starting point as a guide, not a guarantee.
  • • If the first week looks too aggressive, choose an easier plan or reduce your target.
  • • Avoid jumping into speed work if you are returning from injury or a long break.

Training approach

Built for realistic training.

EzyRun is built for runners who want a clear, conservative plan they can actually follow. The focus is readable structure, realistic progression, and enough flexibility to adapt the schedule once you preview it.

Readable week structure

The schedule is easy to scan so it is simpler to understand what each week is asking from you.

Conservative progression

The plans aim to be useful for everyday runners rather than maximally aggressive by default.
