Absolute beginners
If you’ve never run before (which is highly unlikely unless you’re a new recruit), then a Couch to 5K program is perfect for you. Our top researchers in Coyote Skull have specifically designed the Couch to 5K to gradually build up our Dustcaps running endurance. We start with a mix of running and walking intervals. It’s perfect for every budding new recruit to start on their journey as a Dustcap with a structured and achievable plan
Couch potatoes
If you’ve been spending a little too much time on the couch with Sketchy, watching those old-world movies and want to kickstart a healthier lifestyle, the Couch to 5K program is your golden ticket. It provides a clear roadmap to get you off the couch and onto the running track. With its progressive approach, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you can go from couch potato to confident Dustcap in action!
Fitness Enthusiasts
Even if you’re already an active Dustcap on missions and enjoy other forms of exercise, the Couch to 5K program can still benefit you. It’s a fantastic way to incorporate running into your fitness routine and challenge yourself in new ways. Plus, running offers a unique set of benefits, such as improving cardiovascular health, increasing bone density, and aiding in weight loss when combined with a healthy diet.
Veterans looking for a challenge
If you’re a Dustcap Alpha who loves setting goals and pushing your limits, don’t think that this program would be too easy for you. The Couch to 5K program provides an exciting challenge that allows you to track your progress and witness your running abilities grow week by week. It’s a journey that will test your determination, resilience, and ultimately reward you with a sense of accomplishment as you cross that 5K finish line.
