Covering the race distance frequently during training is necessary-and required-if you want to see how fast you’re capable of running 6.2 miles.īuilding this level of general endurance can be done in several ways: To run a fast 10K, you first have to be able to run a slow 10K. Today you’ll learn a three-pronged approach to training for the 10K that will help you run a new personal best. Successful runners know that a new 10K personal best needs both: each must be developed to record a strong finish. Or, you may be putting too much emphasis on speed. If you’ve struggled with the 10K, you may be focusing too heavily on the long run and overall weekly mileage (like many marathoners rightly do). But I do know that at 6.2 miles, it’s long enough to demand the resiliency of a trained distance runner but short enough to require the speed and kick of a mid-distance runner. So why is the 10K ignored as a race distance to earmark as a “goal race?”
The 10K is like the 5K’s ugly step-sister: it’s often used as a tune-up race, but rarely do runners focus on it.
