Novice Road Running 10km Base Program - 10 weeks (V3.2)
This Training Program is aimed at a Novice 10km Road Runner who wants to build a solid running base.
The program is based on %Theshold Heart Rate.
The program includes a running-specific Core strength and Flexibility training program.
Training time builds from 2 hours and 30 minutes to a maximum of 4 hours and 38 minutes.
This program is 10 weeks long:
1 Test Week,
8 Training Weeks,
1 Re-Test Week.
After completing the tests in the Test and Re-Test weeks, submit your data here: https://multisportcoaching.co.za/performance-data/
Analysis of the data and calculation of your training zones will be done automatically.
This is a free service.
As the training zones for this program are based on %Threshold Heart Rate you will need a Heart Rate Monitor to get the best results.
We whole-heartedly recommend the POLAR brand. (See what we did there?)
Requirements for this program:
You need to have access to a 400m running track for the Test Week and 5km Time Trial route which you can access in the Test Week and the Re-Test Week.

I have been an active participant for almost 40 years.
I have competed in the World Championships at an age group level in 1993 & 1994. In 1995 was an Elite for Olympic Distance triathlon.
I was also selected for duathlon and long distance triathlon.
Represented Polar Heart Rate monitors for 5 years, so the measure of all my training programs is Heart Rate based.
First qualified as a coach in 1993.
I studied Human Movement Science at the University of Pretoria 1991 to 1994.
