Sub 53 10K Plan
4 to 16 weeks is plenty of time to prepare properly for the 10K distance. 12 weeks is sufficient time to get ready for your 10K. Need more time? You may want to check out our 8 week and 16 week 10K training plans. Remember, it isn't about the amount of mileage you are doing as much as it the quality of the miles or kilometers you are putting in.
The athlete who training to run under a sub 53 minute 10K time has to be in great mental and physical shape. You will need to devote 3 to 8 hours or more each week preparing for a race of this length.
The goal with RunDreamAchieve training plans are to help athletes use leverage work smarter, rather than harder. Leverage simply means doing more with less We focus on specific training to get the athlete's race pace to feel less aggressive. In addition, to teach the body to use what it has much of, fat storage and conserve what it has much less of, carbohydrate (glycogen) storage.
Also, to train at the anaerobic threshold. You, as the athlete, will be racing your 10K right around or slightly above this intensity. So, it is critical that we prepare you to get as efficient at running at this pace as possible.
10K Training Plan Sub 53 Leverage
One of the biggest mistakes runners make is running too aerobically too often. A sub 53 minute 10k training plan should focus on about 60% aerobic and 40% anaerobic training. You also want to ensure you are running easy enough on your recovery days. Remember, all of the benefits of the hard work you do will come within the rest period. The athlete's body is about 2 to 3 times weaker immediately following a hard, anaerobic workout.
The RunDreamAchieve sub 53 minute 12-week 10K training plan is built to ensure you get the best results. Again, it isn't about the volume as much as it is the quality of the work you are doing.
