This schedule is tailored for you if you have done little running before and are making the step up to tackle a 10K for the first time. Each week has three running sessions. You’ll start your programme by building up a mixture of walks and runs and then gradually do more running. You’ll develop an understanding of different running speeds, and your stamina to go the distance will increase as the weeks progress. Walk:run This is a strategy for many new runners and involves breaking up the run into periods of running then walking. For example, 8mins run – 2mins walk repeated. Easy or recovery runs During an easy run you should feel relaxed. You should be breathing comfortably and be capable of holding a conversation throughout the run. If you’re a new/novice runner then you’ll probably be questioning whether any runs feel easy and holding a conversation may feel impossible. Slow down, walk if necessary and control your effort. Steady runs These are the bread and butter of your training, the ‘miles in the bank’. Steady runs build the aerobic base that acts as the foundation for the rest of your training. Conversations are still possible at this pace but in sentences rather than long gossip. Threshold or tempo runs Running at ‘threshold’ pace is about running under ‘controlled discomfort’ and is great for improving your running economy. You will find them slightly uncomfortable and they’ll require concentration but they are well worth the effort. You’ll only be capable of uttering four or five words as you run. As you get fitter and more experienced, you’ll learn how to find your own ‘threshold’ pace and this will change the fitter, stronger and faster you get. 14 WEEK 10K BEGINNERS SCHEDULE WITH MARATHON TALK’S MARTIN YELLING 14 WEEKS TO GO: Monday Tuesday 5min easy walk, 5min easy run, 5min easy walk Wednesday Thursday 5min easy walk, 8min easy run, 5min easy walk Friday Saturday 5min easy walk, 10min easy run, 5min easy walk Sunday www.runforall.com Follow us!
