Plan Description

This Beginner 10k Plan is perfect for someone just starting out and looking to complete up to a 10k Race at the end of an 8 Week Period. This might be great for someone with a corporate group that has sponsored a local race. The plan starts with 3 Training Sessions for the first week but then steps to 4 times a week with training sessions where 2 sessions each week are Easy Effort's, 1 Interval Run, and 1 Long Run.

This is perfect for someone who likes to time vs distance in their training process. There is no pace targets as the plan focuses on your ability to gauge the effort. Easy, Moderate, Hard. You don't need a fancy GPS Watch as you just need something with a timer and for the interval runs an interval timer would be very helpful.
