The "Couch to 5K" (C25K) training plan is a popular program designed to help beginners gradually progress from a sedentary lifestyle to running a 5-kilometer (3.1 miles) race. It typically spans over a period of 8 to 10 weeks, and it involves a mix of walking and running workouts that gradually increase in intensity. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any exercise program, especially if you have any pre-existing health conditions.
