Beginning 10K Training Plan


Last weekend we did the first race of the year. St George is a glorious place in the winter. It was chilly but warm enough for shorts. Plus, this race was my first experience with an all girls race. I beyond love the idea and truly loved this race. It was a 5K, out and back course. 1/2 mile flat, 1 mile up hill, 1 mile down hill, and 1/2 mile flat. Bonus: I did this race with my sis and 2 great friends! Pictures to come.

Now that the 5K is done, my sis is training for a 10K. The Provo River 10K in 2010 was the first time I ever trained for a distance race ever. Before I thought, no way, I will never do a half marathon. But training for the 1oK got me thinking, ya, I think I can do this!

Anyway, for my sis... here is the beginning runner 10K training schedule I used from Runner's World Guide to Road Racing. I will make this plug several times I am sure but I love this book! Definitely worth owning.
