Your 10k running plan is ideal for your first 10k run and written by an 8020 certified endurance coach.
This plan can also be used by experienced runners who need or prefer a low-volume training programme.
This plan uses the latest polarised training techniques and includes strength and mobility sessions to help you avoid injuries.
You plan includes:
- Structured Running sessions with Power targets
- Sessions can be used with STRYD, Garmin, Polar, Coros etc
- Strength, mobility, stability and flexibility workouts to help avoid injuries
- Cross training options such as cycling
- Email access to your coach
Before you start this plan build your training to the point where you are running at least three times a week for up to 30 minutes or more and are doing aerobic exercise six times per week.
The training load starts at 2 hours and 37 minutes in a week 1 and peaks at 3 hours and 56 minutes in week 10.
You should consult your doctor before embarking on any physical fitness training. For any of the sessions, especially the strength and conditioning sessions, if you are unsure of the exercises then seek the help and advice of a professional near you.
