I would have liked batman to say "this programme is not strictly about getting you to run 5k but is about developing a safe sustainable ability to run 30 minutes non stop for people unused to regular exercise and will enable you to develop on to run 5k soon after if not achieved during the programme" .... but it didn't fit 😊

So, couch to 5k is not about 5k at all then?

..."so, couch to 5k is not about 5k at all then?" Perhaps more accurately it is not just all about 5k.

I guess the marketing and communications team had to come up with something snappier than couch to .....some reasonable distance for 30 minutes non stop that you would have hitherto been unable to complete in your wildest dreams and will allow you to participate in events such as park run which are ......5k.

Don't forget, this is couch starting point programme designed specifically for the non sporty or not very fit or non runners. It won't be the right programme for everyone.

By the way.... no one seems to get upset if they don't start on a couch. Funny that... πŸ€”
