The 10K receives such a lot less attention than it deserves, especially compared to the speedy fast 5K and therefore the ever-popular marathon. The 10K provides a superb progression from the 5K for brand spanking new runners and a challenging alternative to the 5K for long-distance runners.
In order to do a 10k which is nearly a 50% of a Half- Marathon. You have to be able to do a 5k very comfortably . I recommend you go from a 5k to a 10k in approximately 3 Weeks.
First Week: you run 4 Miles. See how you feel, if you feel good, go to the 5-mile process.
Second Week; you run 5 Miles, if you feel good, go to 6.4 miles which equals 10k.
Third Week: you complete your 10k /6.4 Mile goal.
Make sure you feel comfortable before you go to 4, 5, and 6 miles.
Congrats, you reached the Goal of a 10 k Run. As you progress you may attempt to do races, you might want to work on your mile average and your finish times. A Top Runner has a Mile average of 5 minutes and a finish time of 30 minutes. An average Runner has a Miles average of 8 minutes and a finish of 24 minutes.
As always…nutrition plays an important part in running..
