Designed for people who've never run before. Slow is fast. Rest days matter. You've got this.

From your first 5K to 26.2 miles — every workout has a quirky name and a purpose.

Three simple steps from hesitant to hooked.

Choose any day to begin. The plan runs three days a week with rest in between.

Each workout tells you exactly when to walk and when to jog. Start slow, stay consistent.

Mark workouts complete, build your streak, and watch the plan adapt as you get stronger.

You're not alone on this journey.
