Plan Description
Would you like to get to the finish line of your first 10K?
Are you stepping up from 5k and want a new challenge?
Then this is the plan for you!
This plan is designed to allow you to finish your first 10k working to your full potential but can be fitted in around your work and life commitments. This plan works on a cycle of three week build and one week re-build. It includes some cross training plus training and race day tips.
We advise that you are should be able to run/walk for at least 20-30 minutes before taking on this plan (if you are not quite there yet why not take a look at the 5K plan which will fit in nicely before this one) and that you should be able to commit to 3-4 sessions a week over the 10 week period.
The plan includes:
- Strength training to help avoid injuries - from a qualified NASM Personal Trainer
- Heart rate target zones
- Training and race tips
- Email access to coach
- Rest and Recovery Days
- Stretching routines - follow along videos
I also offer an option to change plans if you feel you need more or less volume etc. I also offer a bespoke planning service to all athletes; if you need a plan built around your lifestyle, strengths and weaknesses, event and time to train but are not ready to have a coach, a bespoke plan is a great option; please get in touch, and we can build a plan that suits you karenparnell01@hotmail.com and chilitri.com.
My name is Karen and I live in Southern Spain near the IRONMAN® Marbella 70.3 event where I coach and run Triathlon training camps all year round (ChiliTri). So, if you would like face to face coaching and come and check out the Marbella course please get in touch. Karen is an IRONMAN® Certified Coach and British Triathlon Federation Level 3 Coach. I also work as a Coach Educator & Assessor for the British Triathlon Federation, helping to develop the next generation of triathlon coaches in the UK.
Karen is also a Qualified Personal Trainer specialising in endurance athletes so all of the S & C sessions are tried and tested.
Good luck with your training and 10k event!
