Break through the 30-minute barrier with this focused 8-week training plan, designed specifically for runners aiming to run a faster, more confident 5K. This structured program combines targeted speed work, aerobic development, and pacing strategy to help you build the strength, rhythm, and endurance needed to cross the finish line under 30 minutes.
Whether you're chasing your first time goal or coming back stronger after a break, this plan meets you where you are - then pushes you forward with purpose.
This plan includes:
Progressive Interval Workouts
Race-specific reps at 5K pace that teach you how to lock into rhythm, hold effort, and finish with strength - without burning out too early.
Threshold & Tempo Runs
Controlled efforts that build aerobic capacity, improve pacing control, and develop mental and physical resilience at sustained effort.
Strides for Speed & Form
Short bursts of controlled speed to reinforce proper mechanics, promote neuromuscular sharpness, and improve running economy without added fatigue.
Weekly Long Runs
Easy-paced endurance builders that increase gradually over the plan, helping you develop time-on-feet strength and overall aerobic efficiency.
Ideal for runners who are comfortable running 3–4 times per week and want a clear, proven path to breaking 30 minutes in the 5K - with smart structure and lasting results.
