Get outdoors, catch some fresh air and improve your fitness levels with our couch to 2k challenge. This workout will help you over the next 9 weeks to bring you up to a 5k run (that’s 2 and a half laps of your local area). If you follow these steps and get at least 3 workouts in each week, you’ll do it with ease!

Make the most of the space around you. Map out your route and utilise the 2km near your home. Look at zig zag patterns, or laps so you can get the most out of your 2km!

Share your progress using #couch22k and help motivate your fellow Unislimmers by logging into our members-only app.
