10Km Nivel 5 (Élite) - 12 semanas
Version: Combo Runner | View More
Plan Length: 12 Weeks
Este plan de entrenamiento de 12 semanas para 10 km, diseñado para corredores de tipo "Combo Runner", no solo incluye entrenamientos de resistencia y velocidad, sino que también utiliza mi secuencia de entrenamiento "El Mejor 10K del Mundo" para asegurar que tengas la fuerza mental y física necesaria para alcanzar tu objetivo. He tenido mucho éxito con este plan y creo que te encantará el desafío que presenta. Antes de comenzar, deberías ser capaz de correr 60 minutos en tus carreras habituales y al menos 90 minutos en tus carreras largas.
Kilometraje semanal = 51-68 millas por semana (82-109 kilómetros por semana)*
*Basado en un ritmo de entrenamiento promedio de 7:00 min/milla (4:20 min/km)
NOTA: Cada carrera incluye un rango de duración/distancia y ritmo, por lo que el kilometraje real puede variar.
Para cada carrera, te proporcionaré el rango de ritmo exacto (integrado desde la Calculadora de Running McMillan) y ajustaré los ritmos a medida que progreses en el plan de entrenamiento para que siempre te enfrentes a un desafío óptimo. También he diseñado el plan para que sea muy flexible y se adapte a tu vida. Puedes mover fácilmente las carreras según tu horario.
Además del entrenamiento de carrera, también realizarás nuestra rutina de entrenamiento de fuerza que se sincroniza con tu entrenamiento de carrera, así como mis ejercicios de técnica para ayudarte a mejorar tu forma de correr y aprender a correr rápido. Estos programas de "prevención de lesiones" están incluidos en tu plan y te convertirán en un corredor fuerte, ágil y resistente a las lesiones.
Carreras por semana: 4-7. Entrenamientos clave/intensos por semana: 2-3.
¿Necesitas más semanas? Ciclo de entrenamiento sugerido:
-Plan de entrenamiento base: hasta 8 semanas
-Módulo de cuestas: hasta 6 semanas (opcional)
-Módulo de resistencia: hasta 6 semanas (opcional)
-Plan de entrenamiento para 10 km: 12 semanas
Starting Week of Training
This first week of training should look very "doable" (or even quite easy) for you. It represents the starting training load for this plan and is the starting point from which we'll build toward the peak training load. Week 1 should NOT be a big jump from your current training load.
Día de recuperación (descanso, entrenamiento cruzado o carrera opcional)
Carrera suave o de 45-60 minutos
Objetivo del entrenamiento: Recuperación. Algunos días de la semana, te daré días de recuperación y te daré la opción de qué hacer. Elige lo que prefieras, pero recuerda siempre que estos días de recuperación están diseñados para ayudarte a descansar para el próximo entrenamiento.
Notas del entrenador:
Este es el plan: Desarrollaremos de forma gradual pero constante la condición física específica que necesitas para lograr tu objetivo. Te haré realizar diversos tipos de entrenamientos específicos para la carrera, varios entrenamientos a ritmo objetivo e incluso algunas de mis carreras largas de preparación rápida de eficacia comprobada. El resultado final es que estarás listo física y mentalmente para afrontar la carrera. A medida que aumentes tu volumen, puedes añadir de 1 a 3 carreras dobles cada semana para complementar tu volumen. Prefiero no indicarlas en un día específico ni con una duración específica, para evitar que te sientas obligado a añadir distancia adicional. En su lugar, añádelas a tu criterio, según cómo te sientas al recuperarte de los entrenamientos de carrera intensa. Prehabilitación:
Tu plan de entrenamiento McMillan no solo te ofrece entrenamiento para correr, sino que también incluyo mi entrenamiento de "Prehabilitación": un entrenamiento sin correr diseñado para desarrollar un cuerpo resistente a las lesiones. Algunos días a la semana, te proporcionaré un enlace al programa que quiero que sigas. Te guiaré a través de la rutina y, con el tiempo, iré aumentando el desafío para que te fortalezcas cada vez más.
Carrera fácil
Carrera Suave de 50-60 minutos
Objetivo del Entrenamiento:
Para mejorar tu condición física de forma segura, puedes usar tu respiración como guía para determinar la velocidad a la que debes correr. En carreras suaves, nunca debes quedarte sin aliento y debes poder mantener una conversación con un compañero de entrenamiento. Si te quedas sin aliento, estás corriendo demasiado rápido.
Notas del Entrenador:
La vida a menudo puede interferir con tu entrenamiento, pero te animo a priorizar tus entrenamientos. La mayoría de nosotros descubrimos que si hacemos ejercicio, todo lo demás en la vida mejora, así que sé disciplinado para entrenar.
Prehabilitación:
Quiero que comiences tu entrenamiento de prehabilitación con el programa Fuerza en Zancada. Este programa de prehabilitación está diseñado para adaptarse a tu plan de entrenamiento. Comenzarás con una fase de estabilidad, luego pasarás a la fase de fuerza y finalmente a la fase de potencia. Te encantará cómo este programa se integra perfectamente con tu entrenamiento de carrera. Realiza la rutina Fuerza en Zancada Fase 1 - Programa de Estabilidad A. https://log.finalsurge.com/mcmillan/prehab/estabilidad
Día de recuperación (descanso, entrenamiento cruzado o carrera opcional)
Descanso, Entrenamiento Cruzado o Carrera Suave durante 40-60 minutos
Objetivo del entrenamiento:
Día de recuperación.
Notas del entrenador:
Prevenir lesiones es un proceso más eficiente que rehabilitarlas. Por eso incluyo mis rutinas de "prehabilitación" en este programa. Simplemente síguelas y estarás en camino a un cuerpo de corredor más fuerte y ágil.
Prehabilitación:
El programa Fuerza en Zancada incluye 3 fases (Estabilidad, Fuerza y Potencia) y cada fase tiene dos programas, así que te indicaré si debes realizar el programa A o el B.
Entrenamiento en colina
Calentamiento de 20-30 minutos + Repeticiones en cuesta: De 8 a 10 veces una cuesta moderadamente inclinada (6-8 %) con un esfuerzo de 5 km o superior, de 60 a 75 segundos, con el trote de vuelta cuesta abajo como recuperación + 20-30 minutos de enfriamiento.
Objetivo del entrenamiento:
Desarrollar la fuerza de piernas, el VO2máx y la tolerancia al ácido láctico.
Notas del entrenador:
En los entrenamientos en cuesta, el esfuerzo será intenso, pero no extremo. Practica una técnica de carrera firme. Impulsa los brazos y las rodillas para subir la cuesta. Aprende a usar tu técnica óptima de carrera en cuesta para obtener eficiencia y potencia. Puedes realizar este entrenamiento en un puente o cinta de correr si no encuentras una cuesta adecuada en tu zona.
Prehabilitación:
Realiza la rutina Fuerza en la Zancada Fase 1 - Programa de Estabilidad B. https://log.finalsurge.com/mcmillan/prehab/stabilityb
Día de recuperación (descanso, entrenamiento cruzado o carrera opcional)
Descanso, Entrenamiento cruzado o Carrera suave durante 40-60 minutos
Objetivo del entrenamiento:
Día de recuperación.
Notas del entrenador:
La mayoría de las carreras se realizan por tiempo. Puedes convertirlo a millas según tu ritmo, pero asegúrate de alcanzar la duración deseada.
Prehabilitación:
Puede que estés un poco adolorido por la sesión de core de ayer, pero eso demuestra que necesitas trabajar tu core. Con este plan, te sorprenderá lo rápido que mejorarás en cada ejercicio.
Easy Run
50-60 minute Easy Run
Workout Purpose:
Build endurance. The bulk of a runner's training diet are easy runs. This consistent exposure to easy runs leads to big phyisological and psychological adaptations that over time will take you to new fitness levels.
Coach Notes:
“Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.â€- Van Gogh
Prehab:
Prehab isn't just core and strength training. It also includes working on your form. Part of your McMillan training plan includes my Running form drills. Just click this link to watch and learn the form drills that I'd like you to do at least once per week (though you can feel free to add these any day you that you like). Running form drills. https://log.finalsurge.com/mcmillan/prehab/drills.
Long Run
90-100 minute Long Run
Workout Purpose:
Build endurance and leg resistance to fatigue. Long runs are the cornerstone of endurance training. By running longer, you stimulate very important adaptations that give you the ability to run faster in your intense workouts.
Coach Notes:
Time on your feet is more important than pace in a long, steady run. Run easy and run long. Here is a video I made to help understand the Long Run: https://run.mcmillanrunning.com/how-to-long-runs/
Prehab:
I find that the key to prehab is routine. I'm going to ask you to perform some prehab a few days per week and if you can commit to doing it across this plan, I know you'll continue to do it as you move to your next training plan.
Peak Week of Training
This peak week of training is representative of the peak training load for this plan. Across the plan, you'll build from the starting training load (shown above) to this peak training load. These workouts may look challenging but we'll build to them gradually yet progressively across your plan.
Día de recuperación (descanso, entrenamiento cruzado o carrera opcional)
Descanso o carrera suave de 45-60 minutos
Objetivo del entrenamiento: Día de recuperación.
Notas del entrenador: «Atribuyo mi éxito a esto: nunca puse ni acepté excusas». Florence Nightingale
Carrera fácil
Carrera suave de 80-90 minutos
Objetivo del entrenamiento: Desarrollar resistencia.
Notas del entrenador: Debes estar preparado para adaptarte a los imprevistos. No todas las carreras, entrenamientos o competencias saldrán como lo planeaste. Mantén el rumbo.
Prehabilitación: Realiza la rutina de la Fase 3 del Programa de Fuerza en Zancada - Programa A. https://log.finalsurge.com/mcmillan/prehab/powera
Carrera fácil
Carrera suave de 40 a 60 minutos
Objetivo del entrenamiento: Desarrollar resistencia.
Notas del entrenador: Competir es duro. Prepárate para ello. De hecho, prepárate para que sea lo más duro que hayas hecho jamás. Esta mentalidad te ayudará a dar lo mejor de ti.
Entrenamiento de velocidad 800 m
Calentamiento de 20-30 minutos + Entrenamiento de velocidad: 6 a 10 x 800 m con 400 m de trote de recuperación + 3 x 200 m de zancadas con 200 m de trote de recuperación + Enfriamiento de 20-30 minutos
Objetivo del entrenamiento: Desarrollar velocidad - VO2máx.
Notas del entrenador:
Los entrenamientos de velocidad son exigentes, pero eso es justo lo que se busca. El objetivo es desarrollar fortaleza mental para rendir al máximo en la carrera. Mira mi video aquí: https://run.mcmillanrunning.com/how-to-speed-workouts/ para obtener más información sobre los entrenamientos de velocidad. En estos entrenamientos, verás que a menudo recomiendo finalizar con repeticiones cortas y rápidas. Esto ayuda a interiorizar un sprint final potente.
Prehabilitación: Realiza la rutina Fuerza en Zancada Fase 3 - Programa de Potencia B. https://log.finalsurge.com/mcmillan/prehab/powerb
Día de recuperación (descanso, entrenamiento cruzado o carrera opcional)
Descansa, realiza entrenamiento cruzado o trota suavemente durante 40-60 minutos.
Objetivo del entrenamiento: Día de recuperación.
Notas del entrenador: Corre con alegría. Si te estás esforzando demasiado y ya no disfrutas corriendo, tómate un respiro y agradece poder correr. Algunos no pueden.
Carrera fácil
Carrera suave de 50-60 minutos
Objetivo del entrenamiento: Desarrollar resistencia.
Notas del entrenador: ¿Le das demasiadas vueltas a tu carrera? Entiende los porqués y los cómos, pero recuerda que es un deporte sencillo.
Prevención: Realiza los ejercicios de técnica de carrera de McMillan. https://log.finalsurge.com/mcmillan/prehab/drills
Contrarreloj
Calentamiento de 20-30 minutos + Contrarreloj: 5-6 km al ritmo objetivo + Enfriamiento de 20-30 minutos
Objetivo del entrenamiento: Evaluar la condición física.
Notas del entrenador: Una contrarreloj es un esfuerzo intenso de carrera que representa aproximadamente el 90-95 % de tu esfuerzo máximo. Estos esfuerzos en solitario te ayudan a aprender a superar tus límites fuera de una competición.

NOTE: I've built multiple versions of each plan. The vast majority of runners do best with my "Combo Runner" plan (plan "C") but if you find that speed work takes its toll on you, then select an Endurance Monster plan (plan "E"). Conversely, if you find you respond really well to more interval-type speed work, then choose the Speedster plan (plan "S"). (If you aren't sure, always select the Combo "C" plan.)
All three plans are very similar but the Endurance Monster plan uses more stamina and endurance-oriented workouts to build fitness whereas the Speedster plan uses more speed and interval-type workouts.
Other Levels of Your Plan
Run Plan vs Run Team
The Run Plan option includes your training plan, integrated McMillan paces, prehab routines and Coach Greg's instructions for each and every run. Run Plan is a one time fee for your plan.

You also receive entry into Coach Greg's private online training team with exclusive content plus interaction with other McMillan athletes. Runners love having a detailed training plan, a world-class coach by their side and teammates cheering them on as they chase their goals. Run Team is the best value for goal-oriented athletes looking for a peak performance. Run Team is a subscription billed monthly. Cancel anytime.
Training Plans FAQs
Q: What all comes with your training plans?
A: McMillan Training Plans include my complete training system:
- You get my scientifically-based, proven training plan. Your plan will gradually, yet progressively build you toward your goal.
- Your optimal McMillan Running Calculator training paces are integrated directly into your plan. You know the exact pace range for each and every run. And, your paces will automatically advance every few weeks so you continue to be optimally challenged as your fitness improves.
- Each and every day includes my notes on the purpose of the run and how to execute each workout. I'll also pass along my insights and some motivation as you move through your plan.
- I'm going to keep you healthy by including my recommended prehab programs (ex. core, strength, form, mobility). I'll tell you exactly what to do week in and week out so you stay healthy and build a strong, supple runner's body.
- You can access your training plan in several cool ways. You can log in to our system and get your plan in multiple calendar views – monthly, weekly, etc. (You can also upload your training from your GPS or Strava to our system.) I can also email your workouts to you so you'll know every day what your run is. And, I can even text your workouts to you as well. Your plan can also be synched with your electronic calendar.
The end result is that you have my full training system at the ready to help you achieve your goals.
Q: Are my McMillan Calculator paces integrated in your plans?
A: Yes! A key to McMillan athlete success is training optimally and that means knowing the exact pace range for each and every run. In your plan, your McMillan Running Calculator paces are integrated. And because your fitness will be advancing across the plan, I'm going to progress your training paces every few weeks as well. This guarantees that you are always training in the proper zone for maximal benefits. And if you run a race and need to update your training paces, you can do that easily by inserting your new information into the McMillan Running Calculator.
Q: How will I access my plan?
A: After signing up, you'll receive an email with a link to access your plan. You simply click that link to get all your preferences set up and access your plan. I'll also send you a quick walk-through video to show you all the features of your plan and help you get everything set up. And as always, if you run into issues, I'm here to help.
Q: Can I upload my run data to the plan?
A: Yes! With our system, you can sync your GPS (e.g., Garmin) and/or Strava account and your run data will automatically be uploaded to the system. This will allow you to accurately track your training, log your equipment and numerous other logging/tracking features to help you monitor your planned and actual training.
Q: Can you help me decode your training plan naming system?
A: In a nutshell, the training plans are labeled based on your goal, your runner level and your runner type. The goal is either a race distance and goal time or a non-race plan like building your base, improving your speed, etc. The level is 1 (new runner), up to 4 (advanced runner) and the runner type is Combo Runner (most runners), Speedster or Endurance Monster.
A plan with the name Half-Marathon Training Plan Level 3 Combo Runner would be for a goal of a half-marathon (and your goal time is integrated), for an intermediate runner (Level 3) and the Combo Runner version of the plan. I've found that this easy-to-follow system allows me to accurately get you into the right program for you and your goals.
Q: How do I know what my "Runner Level" is?
A: To guide you to the correct training plan, I've created four runner "levels."
- Level 1 – you are new to running. You've never run before (or it's been a long, long time) and/or you haven't finished a race.
- Level 2 – You've been focused on finishing races and now you want to finish faster. You run 3-5 days per week (averaging at least 30 minutes per run) and can do 1 specialty or "hard" workout each week. Long runs of 45-60 minutes are common.
- Level 3 – You are an intermediate runner. You have some experience with performance training plans and specialty workouts (like long runs, tempo runs, speed workouts, etc.). You run 4-6 days per week (averaging at least 30-45 minutes each run with longer runs of 60-75 minutes) and can do 1-2 specialty/hard workouts each week.
- Level 4 – You are an advanced runner and a seasoned trainer/racer who runs 4-7 days per week (averaging 50-60 minutes per run) and usually does 1-2 "hard" workouts per week plus a long run of at least 90 minutes.
- Level 5 – You're a high volume, experienced trainer/racer who runs 5-7 days per week for around 60-80 minutes per run and at least 120 minutes for your long run. Level 5 plans often include 2 hard workouts per week plus a long run.
Choosing your level comes down to how many days per week you run, how many minutes per run is easily doable for you and the number of hard workouts you often do per week. Run 6 days per week (with 2 hard workouts and average around an hour per run)? You are probably a Level 4 runner. Run 3 days per week, mostly just easy running averaging around 30 minutes, and sometimes do more intense runs as you get ready for a race? You are probably a Level 2 runner.
As always, let me know if you need help deciding your runner level.
Q: How do I know what my "Runner Type" is?
A: You can read my full article here but in a nutshell, I find there are three types of runners: Combo Runners, Endurance Monsters and Speedsters.
The vast majority of runners are Combo Runners. Combo Runners are fairly equal in ability in short distances and long distances. (When they put their times into the McMillan Running Calculator, their race times are pretty close to matching the predictions from the shorter races to the longer races – depending on experience at all distances of course.)
Some runners, however, are more endurance-oriented. I call them Endurance Monsters. These runners really struggle with short races and fast, speed-oriented workouts. But, they excel in the longer races and longer training runs and workouts. When they put their times in the McMillan Running Calculator, their long distance races far exceed what they can run in short distance races.
On the other end of the spectrum, some runners are more speed-oriented. As you would expect, these "Speedsters" do really well in the short races but struggle with longer races (and the types of workouts/long runs that go with the training for those races).
Because of these nuances in runner type, I created versions of certain plans where I tweak the training plan to better match the runner type.
Again, the vast majority of runners are Combo Runners and if you are unsure of your type, choose a Combo Runner plan. However, if you are a Speedster or Endurance Monster, you'll love the way I've built these plans to cater to your unique strengths and help you overcome your weaknesses.
Q: Can you explain your training philosophy?
A: There are five principles to my training and I've described them in detail here. As always, if you have a question or want to chat more about my training, just let me know by emailing me here.
Q: What if I need to move a run?
A: No problem. With our system, you simply select the run in your calendar and click "Move" and you can drag the run to a different day. The system is really flexible so you can easily make your training fit into your life, especially when life throws you curve balls.
Q: What do the "Pre-requisites" mean?
A: Before starting a training plan, you need to be prepared for the training load in Week #1. Otherwise, the training may be too much (or too little) and you won't be training optimally. I've listed the pre-requisites for each plan and as long as you've been running at the pre-requisite level, you can safely and easily transition to your new McMillan Training Plan.
Q: Can I get my workouts emailed to me?
A: Yes! Each day, I'll email you your workouts for that day and the next day. This gives you a nice reminder and easy access to your workout for that day. As always, you can change your settings if you don't want to receive emails with your workouts.
Q: What about texting my workouts to me?
A: Yes! Just like with emails, you can set up your plan so you receive a daily text with that day and the next day's workouts. Makes it super simple to know exactly what your run is.
Q: Can I sync my plan with my electronic calendar?
A: Yes! With the click of a button, you can sync your training plan into your iCal, Google Calendar and Outlook. My goal was to have a system that offered many, many different ways for you to get your workouts since every runner is different in how they need their training plan.
Q: What does "Prehab" mean?
A: Prehab is what I call the non-running training that keeps you healthy and builds a strong, supple runner's body. With your plan, I include the prehab programs I want you to follow. From core to strength to form to mobility, I'll tell you exactly what to do so you can stay injury free. You'll be amazed at how much benefit you get from a few prehab sessions.
Q: What if I don't want the prehab or I already follow my own routine? Can I get the plan for an un-coupled price?
A: No. The prehab plans are included with each training plan and can't be separated out. I believe strongly in the value of prehab and whether or not the runner uses them or their own, I want each training plan to have the prehab programs that I prescribe to my personal coaching athletes.
Q: Do I need to be a pro runner to use the plan?
A: No. While I've coached lots of pros, these plans are the ones I've used with each and every level of runner. A hallmark of my coaching has been working with all levels of runners from charity marathon groups with new runners to lots of everyday runners shooting for PRs to the pros. I'm not a one-size-fits-all coach so I created a program that is optimal for you and you'll find each program easy to follow and easy to fit within your life schedule.
Q: Can I change my runner level or runner type once I've started? What if I start and realize it's too difficult for me to follow?
A: No problem. Just contact us and we'll help you get onto the best program for you.
Q: What happens after I finish my plan?
A: Once you buy a plan, it's yours forever. You can re-use it at any time and because our system logs your training, you can even look back at your log from the last time you completed the plan to compare your workouts.
Q: What if something happens mid-training and I need to stop the plan? Can I save it for later?
A: Yes! You have full control and can re-start your plan at any time.
Q: Do I get to keep my plan when I finish it?
A: Yes! Once you buy a plan, it is always there for you and you can even go back and review the previous time you used it to see your results (by uploading your GPS and/or recording your training results).
Q: I need help picking my plan. Can we chat?
A: Of course! I'm here to help so just email me if you have questions and/or want to set up a time to chat about which training plan(s) are right for you.
Q: Do you include races within the plans?
A: Yes. Where appropriate, I add my suggestions on races and where they best fit into your plan. Of course, you can always move workouts around if a race in your area falls on a different weekend.
Q: Can you explain the non-race plans?
A: For runners who don't have a race in the near future, I created several non-race plans to build fitness before starting a race-specific plan. You can choose plans to build or maintain your base of running. I've also included plans to help you improve a specific aspect of fitness like hill running, speed or stamina. All my plans are built to stack together like legos so you can build a full year (or more!) of optimal training.
For example, let's say you have just returned for a short lay off. I'd suggest you choose a "Build my base" plan to regain your fitness. After you're back in the groove of running, you might select a hill module as preparation for a half-marathon plan to get you ready for your half-marathon in the coming months. By stacking the plans together (8 weeks of Base + 6 weeks of Hills + 12 weeks of half-marathon), you've safely and optimally built your training for over 6 months.
Q: What if I need more weeks?
A: No problem. Within each training plan recommendation, I include the training plan(s) that I suggest you use before your target plan. For example, my half-marathon plans are 16 weeks long but if your race is 22 weeks away then I will suggest you add a 6-week hill module or 8-week base training plan and begin with one of those before switching to your half-marathon plan. The plans are designed to dovetail or stack together perfectly. You'll see the suggested plans to use to add more weeks at the bottom of the plan preview page and then once you add your target plan to the cart, you'll see the other plans that you can easily add to your order.
Q: What if my race is in fewer weeks than the plan?
A: Within reason, you can jump into a plan after it has started. However, you must use common sense. For example, if you are training for a marathon (using my 16-week marathon plan) but your marathon is four weeks away and you've done no training, then this is not a good way to train. However, if you have been training and doing some long runs and you want to jump into the 16-week plan with 13 weeks to go, then that is no problem. Again, just use common sense.
