Step by step guide on how to run your first 3km
This program is designed to teach you how to run 3km, even if you haven't run a step before.
The goal is for you to be confidently able to run 3km and really enjoy it.
It's easier than you think.
Most training plans push you too hard, too early. Following a simple walk plus run routine, 3 times per week, will allow your body time to comfortably adapt to your new running routine.
The plan includes two short strength workouts, plus all the tools you need to keep you on track.
Created by physiotherapist, Mark Green. This 4 week training program is specifically designed to help you learn how to run properly and remain injury free, so that you will ultimately love to run.

I found the beginner program to be fantastic. It was so easy to follow and I liked that it was a slow increase. I have done different programs in the past and found things became too hard too quickly. Your videos were so helpful and it was nice to learn more about different exercises and stretches that help my running performance. The program was really easy to follow and I enjoyed completing each week.

I actually used this plan with my 10 year old son. He was keen to join me at the local 5km Park Run and this was a great way to build up to it.

Joined the Locker Room recently as a newbie runner and was amazed at the quality and quantity of the material available and all at an amazing price. Can be a little overwhelming at the start to get into this running thing since there is so much information out there but The Locker Room is a great way to tackle it in bite size chunks. More importantly it caters for beginners as well as experienced runners. Very happy indeed with my new on-line 'coach.'
