10K Training Plan

Hi everyone!

This week marks 10 weeks until my second 10K and the beginning of my training program. I am really excited to be participating in the Monument 10K in Richmond, VA again this year.


I trained and ran last year (read my 10k weekend recap here), but had an injury half way through my training that made me take two weeks off from any running. I completed my goal to run the entire time (my longest distance to date) and had a fabulous time, so this year I want to up the ante and try to run the 6.2 miles in under 62 minutes (10 min/mile pace). Currently, I can run a 5k at this pace, so I am hoping the program will allow me to increase my distance and possibly my speed.

My training schedule is as follows:  
Additionally, I am adding 2 days of strength training a week. I am starting with one day of 5 upper body exercises and one day of 5 lower body exercises. Every few weeks I will work with a trainer to adjust accordingly.

To help hold myself accountable, I will try and update my progress on the blog periodically.

  1. That is awesome you are training for another 10K! I've considered signing up for a 5K and training but the cold weather always stops me. I can't bring myself to run when it's so cold outside!

  2. I’ve been surfing on-line more than 3 hours lately, but I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It’s lovely worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content material as you did, the web shall be a lot more helpful than ever before. Also, recommend you my favorite website with great recipes ideas https://recipes.cafe/en
