About the 10K
The 10K is the ideal distance for improving as a runner. It demands both endurance and speed, making it excellent preparation for longer races.
10K training combines threshold runs (tempo at target pace), long intervals (1000m, 2000m) and easy endurance runs. An 8 to 10-week plan with 3 to 5 weekly sessions is recommended.
