Run a Sub-20 5K in 12 Weeks

5K Sub-20 Plan

Olympian-Designed Advanced Training Plan to Take You From 20–22 Minutes → 19:xx

If you’re stuck between 20:00–22:00 and can’t break the 4:00/km (6:26/mi) barrier, this plan gives you the exact structure used in elite training groups to push advanced runners into the 19-minute zone.

Built by Olympic marathon runner Ilya Tyapkin, this 12-week system delivers precise intensity, smart progressions, and race-focused speed so you improve without burning out.

This is the plan competitive runners use when they’re serious about results.
