Plan Description

Ideal if you have a couple of years' running experience behind you and have run a few 10K races, but now want to improve your time.

This plan will help you to build up your running speed, endurance and technique through structured sessions targeted towards a 10K race goal.

It also includes a beginner strength and conditioning (S&C) programme which is designed to introduce you to S&C and get you into the habit of regular S&C training. These sessions can mostly be carried out at home with a few pieces of equipment if you don't have access to a gym. If you already have experience of S&C then my 10K Improver plan with Intermediate S&C may be more suitable for you.

This plan assumes that you are physically fit and there are no medical or other reasons that mean you should not be running or carrying out strength work.

Most weeks of the plan include 5 runs and 2 S&C sessions - with one of the runs being optional.

The run intensity targets are expressed with reference to threshold heart rate, but alternative Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE) targets are given in the notes for each section of your run.

The plan includes lots of detail and explanation to help you understand and get the most from it. This plan is 'stand alone', so you don't get any additional feedback/ communication from me. However, you can opt to join the private RWM WhatsApp group for the duration of your plan, where you can ask questions and access resources such as exercise demonstration videos. Send me a message on Training Peaks, email or WhatsApp +44 7457 404886 if you'd like to be added. Alternatively, if you would prefer individual coaching or a personalised plan with feedback then please head to the services page on my website at runwithmartha.com for details of what I can offer.
