This program is geared towards new runners who want to run a 10K successfully. The key is in the recipe that includes a perfect blend of running easy days, long endurance runs, cross-training and rest.
The program includes three running days, two cross-training and rest days to allow your body to acclimate and quickly progress week to week. It begins with 30-40 minutes and builds to 40-60 minutes preparing you to successfully run the 10K race.
The program is a perfect strategy for those who have been running 3 times per week for at least 40 minutes. If you are running less, that is okay! Consider the "Run-Walk" 10K Program or the 5K Run Beginner Program and build your way up.
In addition to the daily training schedule, this program contains weekly inspirational messages from the best-selling author and Runner's World columnist John "the Penguin" Bingham. His words will help you stay motivated so that you can achieve your goals.
