10k Training Schedule

Beginner's 10-week Schedule for 10k

This is designed for those who have been running a while and can usually manage 2-3 miles or up to 30 mins comfortably, or those who feel they have a good fitness base from other sports or exercise. It is asking you to run four times a week with rest days and an alternate exercise day. As with the Improvers' 5km schedule Again most sessions can be achieved in under (or close to) an hour.

Improver's 10-week Schedule for 10k

This is designed for those who have completed a 5km event or a 10k event, and wish to improve a little, or just have a bit more structure to their training. It is asking you to still only run 4 days a week but the total time or mileage in the week is slightly greater. There is also one day at race pace which like the Improvers' 5k schedule is suggesting you try to run a little faster.
