It took me a long time to learn how to run. Sure, I ran in college, but had a coach to tell me what to do. As an adult runner, I thought more straight miles was the answer.
Ending up in the medical tent after my first two marathons was the reality check I need that something about my run training had to change.
I started lifting using weight training exercises specific for runners. I started adding speed work, interval runs, and hills to my run plans. I started to incorporate dedicated core strength workouts every single week.
With these strategic running plans and specific weight training, my running improved drastically. I started running personal bests repeatedly, had less injuries, and become a strong, confident, excited runner.
You can have that too.

Why This 10k Training Plan
Most running plans you find will just include the miles you need to run each week. They do not include any strength training specific workouts, core building workouts, or interval training.
All three of these, in addition to your long runs, are vital to having a successful, strong, and injury free race day.
Interval training increases your body’s efficiency at processing the lactic acid that builds up in your muscles while increasing your speed.
Strength training with specific exercises for runners strengthens your weaker muscles while toning your runner-dominant muscles.
Core strength focus ensures your abdominals and back will keep you upright with proper running form for the duration of your race. The core is often the first part of a runner to fatigue and causes your running form to become less efficient.
