A running plan for the very time-efficient fitness enthusiast or runner who is looking to seriously enhance their running performance with once-per-week running workouts. This plan uses running workouts programmed with specific paces based off previous race efforts or estimates of best efforts. As with any good training plan, it starts progressively and builds to a peak and includes programmed recovery. Other optional forms of non-impact cardio training and suggested resistance training days are scheduled, all to progress you to a new 10k PR or break down running performance barriers from high intensity intervals to the 5k through half marathon! The goal of this plan is to prepare you to run a faster 10k or make you the fittest all-around runner possible with minimal time invested. This program could also be used as an aggressive running-specific supplement to many other fitness plans.
