Review: Solid Advice for Beginning Runners - This book is very concise. I read it in one day. It is packed with important and interesting information for someone who wants to begin a running program. The author comes across as extremely knowledgeable and his advice is sensible. There were no crazy claims of lightning-fast weight loss or that an unfit person can do a 5K in 3 weeks using his program. I was disappointed in one thing about this book. I read all of part one, absorbed the information, very excited to start running. I even picked out some new running shoes. Then I got halfway through the second part, still impatient to start, when I read his advice that someone with my fitness level should actually train to WALK a 5K. I thought, what happened to the "couch" part of "couch to 5K"? I thought this was for sedentary people to learn to get out and run. He did have programs for couch to 5K or beginner to 5K, but I was unsure about trying that after reading about having to train to walk a 5K. Now, I do admire the author's honesty and willingness to tell me something I didn't necessarily want to hear, in the sense that he was trying to keep the program realistic. But it was still kind of a bummer. There's no mention of walking the 5K until you get to that part at the end of the book. I still think this book is great price for the solid information that you get from a fitness professional. It is definitely worth the read if you're interested in running a 5K and don't know where to start. Review: Great for beginners! - I just ran my first 5k this weekend. This book helped me with training but mostly with pep talks. There were two times I wanted to stop but I used the technics I learned in this book to push myself to keep going. I finished the 5k run in 36 mins and 21 seconds! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #766,383 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #602 in Running & Jogging (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 195 Reviews | ## Images ![5K Training For Beginners: From Couch To 5K Runner In 8 Weeks Or Less - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ccs3eHf-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid Advice for Beginning Runners *by S***T on October 27, 2013* This book is very concise.

This book helped me with training but mostly with pep talks. There were two times I wanted to stop but I used the technics I learned in this book to push myself to keep going. I finished the 5k run in 36 mins and 21 seconds! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the time *by K***R on October 3, 2022* The benefits of regularly running are not unknown to anyone. As easy and simple as it might look, getting consistent with running is no cakewalk. It was finally after reading this beginner guide that I could identify my mistakes. The guide is full of tips on why we generally fail to get consistent and how to crack the art of running miles in one go. Every small detail has been discussed vividly and several myths have been debunked. If not for this book, I would never have been able to achieve the milestones I have now. Not only did this teach me how to run but also how to prepare myself for the same. Within a month I can feel the difference and how my stamina has leveled up. A must-read for all fitness enthusiasts. ## Frequently Bought Together - 5K Training For Beginners: From Couch To 5K Runner In 8 Weeks Or Less - Beginner's Luck Guide For Non-Runners: Learn To Run From Scratch To An Hour In 10 Weeks - The Ultimate Beginners Running Guide: The Key To Running Inspired --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/4381554-5k-training-for-beginners-from-couch-to-5k-runner-in](https://www.desertcart.in/products/4381554-5k-training-for-beginners-from-couch-to-5k-runner-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
