Training Plan: Advanced 10k (13 Weeks)

About This Training Plan

The Advanced 10k training schedule is designed for the competitive runner looking to race well over the course of a racing season, but more importantly, run fast! This is a 13 week, 10k specific training schedule with a focus on racing a few times at the end of the training block (either 5k or 10k, with your final goal race being a 10k). This plan starts at 57 miles per week and peaks at 67 miles per week.

This plan includes the Hansons Coaching Training Packet which outlines the philosophy of your training plan and details the various types of workouts you will be doing during your training. This packet contains a race equivalency chart to help you determine correct training paces for your workouts and also includes a dynamic warm up and form drill routine that can be incorporated into your training. In addition to the digital copy of the plan in your training log, a PDF version of the plan is also included.
