Some weeks feel good, some don't — but your 5K time isn't getting faster. You feel heavy and sluggish when you run, even though you're training consistently
Tempos, intervals, easy runs… what do they all actually mean? Are you running too fast? Too slow? Doing too much? And how do you do strength exercises to improve?
You've watched tons of videos and reels, and you're STILL not sure if you're doing it right. There's conflicting advice everywhere, and you've wasted months trying to piece it all together
Have clarity and certainty with a clear plan. Only 4 main run types. No overwhelming jargon. Clear weekly progression.
Strengthen your key running muscles to improve your running efficiency, speed and VO2 max, and reduce your risk of injury.
Pacing charts so you know exactly how fast to run (no calculating). Monthly Q&A calls for when you're stuck. A community for accountability.

Hi, I'm Josh — and I've worked as a Physiotherapist (Doctor of Physiotherapy) for 8+ years, and helped runners break through plateaus.
But here's the thing: I was stuck too.
For months, I was running the same 5K time (around 23/24 minutes) no matter how hard I trained. I knew the science of running as a physio, but I couldn't break through my own plateau.
But when I looked for a resource to help... nothing existed that actually worked.
Many 5K plans were incomplete:
❌ Skipped strength training entirely (or said "do some strength work" with zero guidance)
❌ No injury prevention tips
❌ No race day strategies
❌ Everything scattered across multiple apps, PDFs, and websites
Or they were too complex:
❌ Confusing terminology
❌ Made you calculate your own pace for each run
❌ 10+ different run types
❌ Not mobile-friendly (couldn't read on my phone)
I wanted ONE simple resource that had everything in one place. So I created it.
The 5K Running Accelerator Blueprint gives you:
✅ Everything in ONE PDF (no jumping between apps)
✅ Just 4 main run types (not 10+)
✅ Exact pacing charts (no calculating)
✅ Complete strength program with video demos (3 levels: beginner → advanced)
✅ Clear weekly progression (you know exactly what to do each week)
✅ Injury prevention + race day tips (the stuff other plans skip)
✅ Mobile-friendly (read on your phone, no problem)
With structured running + runner-specific strength training, combined properly, I've shaved 4 minutes off my 5K time over the past few months.
This blueprint contains the same system I used — now simplified into 10 weeks so you can break through your plateau faster than I did.


A Clear, structured training plan in both kilometres and miles
Each week builds strategically on the last, so you’ll see measurable progress.
A mix of 4 main running sessions - easy, long, intervals and tempos with the option for other runs
The training plan is designed to be simple and easy to follow

Pacing charts for each run so that you know exactly how fast to run (you don't have to calculate it!)
In both kilometres and miles

A simple explanation of each type of run session, rest days, cross-training etc. so you're not confused and you know exactly what you're doing.

A full exercise program (for just 20 minutes, 1-2 times per week) with 3 different leves/progressions to suit your strength level (even if you've never worked out before!)
No gym required
The exercises are specifically designed for distance runners like you, to be done alongside your running.

So that you know exactly what you're doing!
As you get stronger, it will help your running efficiency, speed and reduce your risk of injury

You’ve hit a training plateau.
You lack the structure and want a clear, proven plan.
You’ve had past injuries or want to avoid new ones.
You want to feel stronger when you run!
You want to run faster for longer!
You want a clear, simple plan that works with your running.
Immediately on purchase, you will get sent the 5K Running Accelerator Blueprint as a downloadable PDF with all the information you need to run a faster 5K. You will also get access to the Private Community where you get support, live calls, and video demonstrations of all the exercises to help you run stronger and faster!
Yes. While the training plan is optimised for the 5K, other principles can be used, particularly:
- The strength training principles are the same for all distance runners
- The injury prevention and recovery protocols apply regardless of distance
There are some good, helpful videos and articles online, but there are also bad ones... And time is money, and your time is valuable! This Course will save you a lot of time and frustration spent scrolling online, trying to find the right information and put it all together.
You will slowly over time get a bit faster, or you'll plateau. But you'll see the best results with a structured, focussed plan for your running, and a strength and plyometrics program. The 5K Running Accelerator Blueprint gives you both!
You can improve gradually with time and just running (though you may plateau). However, if you are putting a lot of load through your lower body without having the strength to tolerate it, then you will often end up with an injury. Strength exercises and plyometrics will help improve your running efficiency, reduce injury risk, and improve your endurance and fitness. So it's a no-brainer to have these alongside your running!
Every runner - no matter where they're at - can get stronger and faster. The slower you are, the more progress you'll actually see. You need to be consistent but you will see results!
Some training plans fail because of motivation, not the plan itself. When you hit week 3 and feel stuck, the community keeps you going. You'll get accountability, see others breaking through plateaus, and have a place to celebrate wins. Plus, monthly Q&A calls mean you can get expert answers when you're confused - no app or PDF offers this at $48.
You get LIFETIME ACCESS. This means you get to download the PDF as many times as you want (and any future updates I make to it). AND you get access to the community (it's not subscription-based).
If you've got a good one, then great! The principles in the Blueprint along with the Community will supplement that. However, if the running plan you already have isn't good or is too complex, then I have provided clear, simple running plans in the Blueprint to suit whatever level you're at.
No, you should still be able to run! There may be some soreness if you've just started the exercises, or you progress to a harder exercise. But that level of soreness should be manageable for your runs, particularly as you gradually progress.
The exercises are designed to only take 20 minutes, 1-2x/week. The training plan integrates it into your week in a way that helps your running. Since the exercises also reduce the risk of injury from your running, it will also save you time by preventing injuries that cost weeks of lost training!
Have you seen any bulky elite distance runners? I didn't think so :) And they don't skip their strength training! This program is designed for distance runners, not bodybuilders.
These exercises are designed to be done at your home with simple weights. No gym required!
There are picture demonstrations in the Blueprint along with video demonstrations in the Community for each exercise so you know exactly what you're doing!
