10 Mile Training Plan

In this post I am sharing my 10 mile training plan. This is a 6-week, intermediate running plan that I used to train for the Soldier Field 10 Mile race in Chicago.

In 6 weeks, I am running the Soldier Field 10 Mile race, and I’ve been thinking it’s time to keep track of a training schedule. This is an intermediate training plan based on my running efforts for the past year. As I have written about before in the 6 Week Endurance Challenge, I only run three times per week to avoid injury and maintain the best fitness level possible as a casual runner. I also plan to fit in a sculpt class once a week, and another short weightlifting session if I have time.

Here is the text version of the 10 mile training plan:

10 Mile Training Plan

Week 1: 3.5 miles intervals; 3 miles maintenance; 4 miles long run
