I love doing 5ks. I do, really. It's awesome to finish, amazing to know that I CAN do it. But lately I've been curious as to just how far I can bring my body. Surfing the internet brought me to
this page and I was happy to find an 8k training program. Call me a wuss, but jumping up to a 10k feels a little daunting. Now I just have to choose whether to start now or to wait until after my birthday. Hmmmm...
Here's the plan that Mr. Higdon suggests:
Week | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun | Miles |
1 | Stretch & strength | 2 m run | 30 min cross | 2 m run
+ strength | Rest | 30 min cross | 2 m run | 6 |
2 | Stretch & strength | 2 m run | 30 min cross | 2 m run
+ strength | Rest | 30 min cross | 2.5 m run | 6.5 |
3 | Stretch & strength | 2.5 m run | 35 min cross | 2 m run
+ strength | Rest | 40 min cross | 3 m run | 7.5 |
4 | Stretch & strength | 2.5 m run | 35 min cross | 2 m run
+ strength | Rest | 40 min cross | 3.5 m run | 8 |
5 | Stretch & strength | 2.5 m run | 40 min cross | 2 m run
+ strength | Rest | 50 min cross | 4 m run | 8.5 |
6 | Stretch & strength | 3 m run | 40 min cross | 2 m run
+ strength | Rest | 50 min cross | 4 m run | 9 |
7 | Stretch & strength | 3 m run | 45 min cross | 2 m run
+ strength | Rest | 60 min cross | 4.5 m run | 9.5 |
8 | Stretch & strength | 3 m run | 30 min cross | 2 m run | Rest
| Rest or 60 min cross | 8-K Race | 10 |
Wish me luck!
