This plan runs over 8 weeks. You can start at any point — do all 8 weeks or jump in wherever feels right.
Try our Sub 1 hour 10km plan.With this 10k plan we're looking to work on shorter, faster sessions to get you hitting your ambitious 10k target. Focus on the speed and tempo runs to get used to pushing yourself out of your comfort-zone. Your long runs for most of the 8 weeks will go well beyond race distance. This will make sure you are ready to push that bit harder for the race to smash your target time. Of course, nobody knows your bodybetter than you so you can drop a few ks if you feel you need it. If you need additional rest time, think about swapping some of the easier 'rest' runs with some yoga or non impact cross-training.
