description: FOR MANY INDIVIDUALS, five kilometers (5,000 meters, or 3.1 miles)
  is the first competitive distance they try. It's their first race T-shirt,
  their introduction to the world of road racing. But experienced runners like
  5K's too. 5K races are fun to run and easy to race. Unlike marathons, you
  don't need to spend 18 weeks training specifically for them, and recovery time
  is measured in days, not weeks. [**SEE ALL 5K PROGRAMS**](#program-list) For
  that reason, the 5K is the most popular racing distance in the United States.
  If you are a beginner, you can be standing at the starting line of your first
  5K after only a few months training. It will take some effort on your part,
  but not a lot. For those who have never run or walked before, you will find
  information on how to get started in my Beginning Runner's Guide. (The Novice
  program below appears in that booklet.) For those who would like to train a
  bit harder, here also are training programs for intermediate and advanced
  runners. And for those who don't intend to become runners, here is a walking
  program to help you train for your first 5K. Click on one of the links below
  to access my 8-week schedules for 5K runners, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced
  and Walkers. On these screens, you will also find instructions on how to do
  the different workouts, but for more detailed instructions plus extra training
  advice and tips, consider signing up for one of my interactive programs,
  available through TrainingPeaks. Click here to access the menu listing all of
  my Virtual Training programs. For eight weeks leading up to the 5K race of
  your choice, I will send you daily emails telling you how to train. Regardless
  of the path you take, let's get started on it now.
