This is a training plan for absolute starters or those recovering from injury. The focus is on getting the joints ready for higher intensity workouts as safely as possible. It’s much better to progress slowly and surely than to risk having to start all over again. To be safe, consider spending at least 12 weeks on this plan.
Like any most training plans, the core strategy is interval training. At this level, intervals of walking and running. As the plan progresses, the running intervals get longer, and the walking intervals get shorter, slowly approaching the goal of running 5K without stopping.
