If this is your first 10K, try keeping a running diary to help you see firsthand the improvements you’re making with every run. It also offers a way to inject some speed into your legs if you’re planning to do a longer race later in the year.Ĭoncentrate on both your nutrition and your cross-training as well as following whichever one of our plans suits you – what you eat before running and strength exercises are just as important as your weekly mileage. A 10K is a great distance to focus on if you’ve mastered 5K, you want to get speedier or you’ve had a break from long distances and want to ease back in.
