The 10k is considered by many runners to be the distance that separates the middle distance runners from the long distance runners. The 10k (6.2 miles) race is a nice balance of speed and endurance, and the 10k training plan below weaves those factors into the schedule to build up both your stamina and your pace. There are not very many people out there that have the luxury of an open schedule in life. Most of us have to squeeze our training runs in our busy and hectic lives and work around higher priorities like family, work, etc...
The 10k training plan below is a low-mileage plan, but you’ll notice that Tuesdays are distance days and Saturdays are speed days. If you’re training in the winter (not much evening daylight), or if it’s not feasible to workout that long on a weekday night, try switching the Tuesday and Saturday workouts to meet your schedule. There are more tips below on how to tweak the schedule to customise it for you.
