Whether you’ve been inspired by the WRRS Cardiff 10K or are targeting a race to hit a PB, 10K is an awesome distance for newbies. It’s a distance that allows you to really settle into the run after the first few kilometres, so you can enjoy the rest. Once you have a few under your belt, it’s also a distance that allows you to really work on improving your pace, while not having to commit to an extensive amount of training time each week.
We have two six-week programmes for you over the next few pages. The first is designed for those who are stepping up to 10K, with the main aim of steadily increasing the distance and duration time you are on your feet, while giving you the confidence and ability to enjoy your experience. The second is for those aiming for some significant performance improvements.
