Training for a 10K
The 10K demands both speed and endurance. Typical preparation includes tempo runs, interval sessions, and long runs of 8-10 miles. Your 10K pace is roughly 20-30 seconds per mile slower than your 5K pace.
Example Calculation
You want to finish a 10K in 55 minutes.
- 01Total time = 55 minutes
- 02Pace = 55 / 6.21371 = 8.85 min/mile
- 03That is 8 minutes and 51 seconds per mile
- 04Pace per km = 55 / 10 = 5.50 min/km
- 05Speed = 6.21371 / (55/60) = 6.78 mph
