10K Training Plan With RockMyRun Music Mix

Put aside your same old routine and take on a 10K training challenge.

Whether you're new to the 10K distance or an advanced runner, follow one of these training plans to run farther than ever before or set a PR. Before you begin, download the RockMyRun customized music mix that will help you get through any tough day.

The 10K distance equals 6.2 miles. It's a popular distance for new runners because it's a step up from the 5K (3.1 miles) and tests their fitness. It's far enough to challenge the legs without turning beginners away from long distances.

It's a favorite among advanced runners because it's a good training distance for half- and full-marathon races. It gives the legs a little challenge while perfecting run pace.
