Key Features of the Plan
This plan is designed for those who can already run or jog continuously for 40 minutes. It helps you build on this foundation to improve fitness and speed so you hit a 10K personal best in 10 weeks..
Base Endurance Focus: Build a strong foundation with one interval session per week to gradually improve your speed.
Progressive, Varied Sessions: Each workout builds on the previous one, ensuring consistent improvement in both fitness and confidence whilst maintaining motivation.
Flexibility for Club Runs: Guidance is given on which sessions can be swapped for your local club runs, so you can train socially while staying on track.
10-Week Structured Progression
Block 1 (Weeks 1-4): Base Endurance and Pace Familiarity
Develop a solid endurance base with easy runs and one weekly interval session. This phase focuses on helping you get comfortable with your pace and improve stamina.
Block 2 (Weeks 5-8): Speed Development and Endurance Growth
Build on your base with slightly faster runs and short intervals, helping you improve both your speed and endurance. You’ll see noticeable improvements week by week.
