This is an advanced-level plan created for runners who are already training consistently and want to achieve the bold goal of finishing 5K in under 20 minutes (4:00/km or 6:26/mi).
Across 12 weeks, you’ll progress from sharpening 200m reps to sustained 1000m intervals at race pace. Recovery weeks and tapering are built in, so you hit the start line fresh, confident, and ready.
