Achieve Race-Day Success with This 6-Week 10K Treadmill Training Program.
Set aside the numbers on the screen and focus on intuitive training—this plan will help you prepare for a powerful race day experience.
While running on a treadmill may not offer the same advantages as outdoor running, it proves to be a reliable choice when faced with cold weather and unpredictable conditions.
Opting for an indoor workout isn't just a practical decision during unfavorable weather or darkness; it can elevate your 10K training by facilitating easier access to specific efforts and minimizing strain on your body.
You can turn up the incline to mimic hills without needing to do any downhills.
The treadmill aids in reducing impact forces like those of going downhill, providing a long-term benefit by lessening strain on the body—particularly beneficial as athletes grow older.
Research has shown that running uphill increases your power while going downhill increases the forced absorbed by joints including your hips and knees.
Your plan includes:
❤️ Heart Rate, RPE and Power running targets.
🏋️ Strength and Mobility workouts for help you avoid injuries
✏️ Training and race tips
📹 Video follow along sessions
📧 Email access to your coach.
Feel free to shift this plan forward a day or back a day depending on what works best for your schedule. As it’s written, you’ll rest every Monday. (The option to do cross-training or rest instead of running is also baked into every Friday.) Wednesdays are for speed workouts, and Saturdays are your long runs—which are mostly easy effort but also work in some intensity via various intervals. Along with these two key workout days, relaxed sessions with strides round out the rest of your week.
