The 10K is long enough for pacing mistakes to compound and short enough that there is no time to fix them. Consistent execution from the gun decides the result.

Run sessions are set by pace, with a clear target for every effort level.

Aerobic durability carries pace. The plan builds that base first, then introduces 10K-specific intensity in sessions designed to sharpen pacing discipline and sustain form into the second half of the race.

Suited to athletes taking on the distance for the first time, or returning after a break. The plan builds fitness through a staged progression, increasing load in planned steps each week.

This is a 15-week self-guided training programme delivered through TrainingPeaks, with structured workouts that sync to your Garmin, Wahoo, or compatible device. Email support from the coach who built the plan is included throughout.

If you are unsure whether this plan is right for you, ask before you buy. If it turns out not to be the right fit, I will swap it for a different one at any time, and I can help with suggestions for restructuring sessions to fit your week.
