A faster 10-k Running Program

written by Chuck Kyle master coach with KyleCoaching

Plan overview

Designed for Beginner to Intermediate runners who use TrainingPeaks and Heart Rate Training, this training plan helps you increase your 10 pace. 

This plan lasts 8-weeks (weekday run workout averages about 45-minutes a session and weekends 1 to 2 hours), helping you build a solid threshold pace so you can begin training for your next event.

During the first week, we determine your training zones and "getting ready to train".  In the next 6-weeks, we teach your body to utilize oxygen as efficiently as possible. We build your aerobic engine.  We will utilize three works a week. One day doing intervals, preferably on a track or flat area, one day tempo run, and one long run. We are utilizing the run less but run faster philosophy  

When you look at the running workouts in TrainingPeaks, you have a choice to use the traditional or structured workout format.  Certain devices (Wahoo, Garmin, Zwift, and more) load the workouts automatically, allowing you to see the workout and your specific interval numbers directly on the device (structured format).
