If you hit the splits listed below, you’ll finish a marathon in 3 hours and 10 minutes. Shave a second somewhere along the way, and you’ll finish sub-3:10. (If that’s not the time you want, you can pick a different marathon pace chart .) The splits are listed in both miles and kilometers, use the buttons to Warm-up: 10 minutes of light jogging, mobility exercises and dynamic stretches, running drills – 2 x 40m ( ankling and high knees ), 3 x 60m strides. Cooldown: 5 minutes of very light jogging, static stretching exercises. Pace: run 400m and 500m intervals at a 5K race pace, and 1000m intervals at a 10K race pace. 1K intervals – Again, at slightly faster than race pace and should be at roughly 6:40 with a two-minute recovery jog. Nine mph or 14.5 km/per hour for treadmill sessions. 2K intervals – These should be performed at your goal race pace of 6:50 per mile with a two-minute recovery. 8.6 mph or 14.1 km/per hour for treadmill sessions. 3-minute jog between repeats. Week #2: 10-12 x 400m. Run the 400m repeats at 5K race pace; 200m jog between. Week #3: 2M/3K + 4 x 1M/1500m. 5-minute jog between 2M repeats, 3-minute jog between 1M repeats. Week #4: 3M/5K Tempo Run or 5K Race. One simple prediction method is to double your 5K time and add 1 minute to get your 10K time. She tries to plan her pace for the whole race and knows at what time to do splits. 🏃🏻 Her pace is 8 min 10 s per mile. Half marathon means 13.1094 miles or 21.098 km. Even though she often uses miles, now Maria needs to know her timing if she split every kilometer, and that's when she uses this running split calculator . For example, if your baseline 5k race pace is 6.52 minutes per mile, here’s what your other runs will look like in terms of pace: 5k pace – 6.52 per mile / 4.16 per km; 10k pace – 7.09 per mile / 4.27 per km; Long run pace – 8.18 per mile / 5.10 per km; Easy run pace – 9.18 per mile / 5.47 per km HBzjrNH. The maths for 10km is easy! To do 40 minutes you need to be able to run every kilometre in 4 minutes. To be able to do 4 minutes for a kilometre you need to have some speed in your legs and to string ten of them together you need speed endurance. This programme aims to build your speed endurance over ten weeks. R = Rest AR = Active Rest (walk, bike or swim) E = Easy pace T = Threshold pace. Ideally you would use a Heart Rate Monitor. Depending on levels of fitness threshold pace is approximately 85 - 90% of maximum heart rate* or half marathon race pace. F = Faster than race pace - approximatgely 95% of maximum heart rate. The recoveries should be as long as it takes for the heart rate to fall to 60% of maximum heart rate. Any session that includes fast running should also include a 10 minute warm up with dynamic stretching and a 10 minute cool down with static stretching. *to calculate percentage of maximum heart rate: Maximum heart rate = approx 220 minus your age. Subtract your resting heart rate (should be taken on waking up) Calculate the percentage of this number and then add the resting heart rate back on. Eg, Joe is 40 years old with a resting heart rate of 60. His fast running should be done at 95% of maximum heart rate: 220 - 40 = 180 180 - 60 = 120 95% of 120 = 114 114 + 60 = 174 174 - pace for speed sessions. Recovery is until the heart rate drops to 60% 60% of 120 = 76 76 + 60 = 136 His next effort should be when his heart rate gets down to 136. The sessions don't have to be done on the days suggested - they should fit in and around the rest of your life but try to keep to the formula of having an easy day or a day of rest after the faster sessions. Recovery is a very important part of training. Likewise, if you are feeling tired on a day where a fast session is scheduled, save it for another day and have a day off or an easy run. It is important to listen to your body. It will tell you when you need recovery. An elevated resting heart rate is also an indication that you need to rest as there is a possibility that you are fighting off a bug or virus. Don't run if you are ill or run down. You shouldn't try to make up for lost time either. If you have to miss sessions it is probably best to get back onto the schedule where you left off and change your target race. parkrunsare a great way to run threshold runs with company. On other occasions parkruns may be used to practise pacing (especially on multiple lap courses) and planning tactics for upcoming target events. By Jackie Newton.

Tompoz Tompoz You can really see your 10K fitness rocket over a preparation period of eight weeks. As with the four-week schedules, it’s important that you’re flexible in your approach. If the 10K is your single focus for the season and you’re willing to do everything you can for a best-possible time, you can add a two-to-four-month build-up period to the schedules, in which you focus on establishing a steady, solid mileage background. The training plan includes speed work, hill work, and fartlek training.

Phil Mosley June 25, 2020 How To Train For A 10K Run Scroll down for our 12-week training plan in full! The best way to train for a 10km run is by building up your training gradually over a period of weeks and months. The number one mistake people make is to launch into their training too quickly – running too far, too fast, or too regularly. This leads to sore legs, a gradual loss of motivation and a high risk of injury. A good way to avoid this is by following an expertly designed training plan. People who use training plans have been shown to be twice as likely to succeed in reaching their goals. Table of Contents (click to scroll to each section) Running Tips Start by aiming to run two or three times per week, for 15 minutes per session. Most of your runs should be done at an easy chatting pace, to reduce the risk of injury. To achieve this low intensity, you may need to include some walking sections in your runs – there’s nothing wrong with that. Over time you can gradually reduce the duration of your walking sections, as you get fitter. If you’re at the point where you can comfortably run 15 minutes without walking, you can then aim to increase the duration of your workouts by no more than 10% per week. Build up your training gradually until you’re able to run 30 minutes comfortably. Now you can start to vary your training more. At this point, you can build your training around two or three key runs each week. The first key session is an endurance run, where you eventually build up to 1 hour of low intensity running. The other key run is a speed session, with a warm up, a warm down and some hard efforts sandwiched in between (like 5 x 3 minutes hard with 90-second recoveries). Any other runs could just be steady 30 to 40-minute jogs. For more experienced runners, you should include a third key weekly workout, of a tempo session. For example run 3 x 8 minutes at your 1-hour race pace, with 60-second recoveries (plus, warm up and warm down). If possible, do some running on soft surfaces like grass or trails, to lessen the impact on your body. Training on undulating terrain is good too, because it spreads the load to a broader range of muscle fibers, compared to running just on flat ground. In our beginner, intermediate and advanced 10km training plans we make every fourth week an “active recovery week” where the training is half as much as normal. This gives your body a chance to catch up with itself and reduces your chances of getting injured. Strength Training Tips There are usually two 40-minute strength and conditioning sessions each week. These workouts can help improve your strength and flexibility, leading to more efficient movement patterns and fewer injuries. We suggest you only do strength work in addition to at least three runs per week, rather than instead of them. Using A 10K Run Training Plan Our training plans are for athletes who don’t feel the need for a personal coach, but who still want the structure and planning of an expertly-written training program. Research has shown that you are twice as likely to reach your goals if you train with a structured plan. For a beginner who has some recent background in fitness or sport, we suggest you give yourself at least 8-12 weeks to get fit and ready for a 10K race. The sooner you start, the more time you have to build up your fitness gradually. Fitness adaptations take weeks and months to occur, rather than days. Do your best to follow the workouts below, ideally in their given order. To help you train at the right levels, we use five training zones, based on feel or heart rate. If you use heart rate, you can use our simple heart rate training zone calculator. Note: our premium plans include fitness tests for smarter, personalised training zones on every workout. Zone 1 – Feels like “Easy/Recovery” – Heart rate 68-73% of max. Zone 2 – Feels like “Steady/Endurance” – Heart rate 73-80% of max. Zone 3 – Feels like “Mod. Hard/Tempo” – Heart rate 80-87% of max. Zone 4 – Feels like “Hard/Threshold” – Heart rate 87-93% of max. Zone 5 – Feels like “V. Hard/VO2 Max” – Heart rate 93-100% of max. We abbreviate your zones to keep things easy to read: Z1 to Z5 – Your training zone. Download All Our FREE PRINTABLE 10K Run Plans Here!

With just 12 weeks to go until event-day, this plan assumes you are currently able to run/jog for up to 20 mins. The plan builds up to race day and helps improve your fitness and confidence. A good way to avoid injury and stay motivated is by following an expertly designed training plan. People who follow a training plan have been shown to be twice as likely to succeed in reaching their goal. Average weekly training hours are 2:23 with the biggest week at 3:08 hours. This includes three to four runs and a 45-minute strength and conditioning session. There is usually one workout per day, with two or three days off each week. Every fourth week is an active recovery week, with less training, to help your body recover and adapt.

And most triathletes I know like to have goals not just in triathlon, but in the individual discipline sports too. 10km is possibly the most popular, and easily accessible road-running event distance these days, with large numbers of events all over the country almost every week. For many, breaking 40 minutes for 10km is a reasonable, but often elusive goal. To help you achieve that, Mike Trees (who has himself run under 30 minutes for 10km!), sets out a 12-week plan for you to achieve that target. With the triathlon season drawing to a close for most, how about taking a mental break from the swim / bike / run with a bit of sport-specifc focus to spice things up a bit? Mike is still a pretty handy athlete himself at 50 years of age – he’s just won both the ITU Aquathlon and ITU Sprint Triathlon Age Group World Championships in the 50-54 category! Those that read my article’s regularly will know that I run Open Water Swim UK at Liquid Leisure, Datchet. This year despite the cold and wet we had a record number of swimmers with us and it kept me busy all summer. However, for the next six months my focus changes to running, and I have written this plan for the many people that have asked me for advice on how to break the 40min 10km barrier. Start with a plan In order to achieve your goals you will need to plan, I have already planned my training for the next six months! This is something that constantly amazes my wife, Rieko. I struggle to plan my work life schedule, but when it comes to running I know exactly what my athletes and I need to do every day. If not they have no chance of achieving our goals. This does not mean that we will do everything on the schedule, because it is important to take account of real life factors, such as work, family, friends, illness and injury. However without a plan to work to, an athlete has no framework and so can not hope to make progress. With this I mind I am writing this schedule for anyone who is desperate to break 40 mins for 10km, while holding down a busy job. Firstly you will need to commit at least four hours to your running training a week, this is the minimum to make any real improvement. I have based the training with the main load on Saturday and Sunday, when most people have more free time. Finally I have split it into three “four week blocks” so that there is progression. The theory The training theory is based around the idea that speed is initially more important than endurance. In order to go race pace an athlete must run at race pace during training. If you can not achieve your target pace in training you have no chance in a race. Once you have the right pace then it is time to build up stamina. In each block of training I add a bit more distance. It is a mistake to start doing long slow running with this schedule, as this will just tire you and make it harder to run fast. You will need to train to increase stride length, which is achieved by up hill running or up hill hopping. You will also need to increase cadence, (leg speed), this is done by running with the wind on the flat for about 75 m The stamina will come from track work or interval training, that gets progressively harder. Between each short phase it is important to take an easy week. The phases The phases have been set as three weeks hard, one week easy. This is because the shortest time span that any physiological change can take place is three weeks. If you have more time before your 10 km race, you can repeat each phase of hard work. This will double the length of the programme. If you repeat a “hard phase”, make sure that after every three weeks of hard running you take an easy week. Do not train on one phase for more than six weeks as progress will not happen after that time, without change, our body adapts to the programme, and improvement stops. Run 10km in less than 40 minutes training schedule Below is a 12 week schedule aimed at runners trying to break 40 minutes. It can easily be modified up to a maximum of 24 weeks.
