Desk-to-5K Workplace Program
Employer walk-run progressions over 8–12 weeks that build toward a 5K with gradual load—not a sudden step-count spike.
A desk-to-5K workplace program guides sedentary employees through walk-run progressions over eight to twelve weeks toward a 5K fun run or personal milestone. Group kickoffs, coached form basics, and tiered tracks prevent shin splints from jumping volume too fast.
Tie to step challenges but emphasize gradual load.
Common questions
-
Can beginners skip straight to 10K training at work?
No—most desk workers need a couch-to-5K style ramp; doubling volume week over week is the main cause of preventable running injuries.
