This is just an example of 20 weeks training program for 5000m under 20 minutes. I have coached more than 500 amateur runners who ran 5000m under 20 minutes. And none of them followed the exact same training program.

However, all of them trained in a somehow similar way. So, I created the training program for running 5000m or 5km under 20 minutes for typical amateur runners like the great common divisor. If you buy this 20 weeks training program, you’ll know how the most effective training schedule for typical amateur runners who want to run 5000m or 5km under 20 minutes looks like.

By the way, typical amateur runners here means, adults who started running after they became adults, work 5 days a week and take 2 days off a week and have a family.
