Welcome to the Zwift 201 training plan designed to get you ready for your first 5K, Zwift style! Today's workout is about introducing you to the plan, as well as getting in some work, but nothing too strenuous. We're going to be starting off with some walk / jog intervals, which will be a common workout of this training plan.

Each walk/jog pair would take you once around a standard running track, which is 400m - or a quarter mile - long. A 5K, which is about 3.1 miles, is twelve-and-a-half times around the track. You'll get there before you know it!

We're going to be progressing the intensity of the walk/jog intervals today by just a little bit, but this should still feel more than doable today.

Today's workout is going to help improve your ability to finish a race strong, as well as learn to pace yourself well in the beginning. We are going to be doing this with what's called a progression run where you start off the interval easy, and finish it hard. We're targeting a distance of 800m, or 1/2 mile, today. That'd be two laps around a running track.

Today is the first race pace practice workout of this training plan. The goal with these types of workouts is to begin learning what pace you can sustain for a full 5k, as well as continue to push the distance at which you can run consistently.

Today's workout is a longer progression run with today being 2 x 5 laps around the track. That's 2000m or 1-and-1/4 miles! This is a jump you will for sure feel, but improving your stamina takes hard work! Pace will ideally be at what you think you can hold for 5k, but again based on rate of perceived exertion (RPE) of a 7-8/10.
