About this Plan
The Break 27 5K Plan is designed for runners who want to improve 5K performance through a structured and progressive approach.
It’s ideal for athletes over 40 who already have a consistent running base and want to sharpen speed, pacing, and efficiency with focused, science-based sessions.
The plan follows a proven structure that improves aerobic power, running economy, and pacing discipline.
Each week blends easy aerobic runs, threshold workouts, interval sessions, and long runs that build endurance and fatigue resistance while maintaining recovery balance.

Choosing the Right Plan
If you’re in between two plans, choose the one that best aligns with your current lifestyle, schedule, and level of commitment.
Look closely at the number of training days each week and the weekly mileage to select the plan that you can realistically manage while maintaining consistency.
At the same time, don’t be afraid to choose the plan that challenges you slightly, especially if you’ve completed a marathon before and want to progress beyond your previous performance.
** If you’re already running a higher weekly mileage than the plan’s starting point, you can safely add those extra miles as easy or recovery runs on any of the easy days of the week.
