I was running around 23/24 minutes for the 5K, but with this system, I've shaved 4 minutes off my 5K time over the past few months running in Old Asics Kayanos.

Hi, I'm Josh — and I've worked as a Physiotherapist (Doctor of Physiotherapy) for 8+ years, and helped runners break through plateaus.
I've seen the same problem again and again: 5K runners who weren't failing because of effort — in fact they often ran more and more and more, with little progress.
Rather, it was because they missed 2 critical things:
1. Strength training
Every elite runner does it...
→ Eliud Kipchoge: 2-3x per week
→ Jakob Ingebrigtsen: Known for heavy strength work
Strength is foundational for:
✅ Improving your speed
✅ Increasing running efficiency
✅ Reducing injury risk
But most recreational runners? They skip it. Or they don't know WHAT exercises to do.
2. A simple, structured running plan
Instead, they waste months piecing together:
→ YouTube videos
→ Instagram reels
→ Reddit threads
They're confused about pacing: "Am I running too fast? Too slow? How do I actually get faster?" It's just random training. No clear progression.
So I put together 5K Running Accelerator to have a simple (but complete) resource for 5K runners in ONE place. I've also included a community and live Q&A calls so that you can get support when you need it!












Imagine... knowing EXACTLY what pace to run every session.
Imagine... training without confusion.
Imagine... showing up to your next Parkrun with total confidence.
Imagine... seeing your 5K time drop — finally.
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.
You’re looking for a magic workout that fixes your 5K without actually running or doing strength training
You love guessing your pace and hoping for the best
You enjoy bouncing between random YouTube workouts every week
You’re not willing to run consistently for the next 10 weeks
You want complexity rather than simple, practical guidance
You’re happy staying at the same 5K time year after year
