Print It: Beginner 10-K Training Plan Jul 5th 2012, 21:08 At 6.2 miles, the 10-K is just long enough to be a training-worthy challenge—and if you haven't raced the distance before, you'll notch an instant personal best. This training plan from Kim Maxwell, a running coach based near Minneapolis and founder of Kim Maxwell Fitness, calls for four days of running per week, plus one day of optional cross-training. Plan Overview: Runs start at 15 minutes long. Most of the weekday runs take less than 30 minutes, and the longest run tops out at 5 miles. "Once you hit a weekly long run of four or five miles, you can take on a 10-K and finish with a smile on your face," says Maxwell. Print the beginner 10-K plan! Too hard? If running for 15 minutes is a stretch for you, check out our beginner running plan, which uses the walk-run method. Too easy? If you regularly run 3 miles or more, give our intermediate 10-K plan a try. Media files: preview (image/jpeg, 0 MB)
