10K — Level 2

10K — Level 2 is a 16-week programme for runners who already train consistently and want structured preparation for a 10 km race. It combines endurance development with sessions near threshold and repetitions at faster paces. As race day approaches, preparation becomes more specific, with longer efforts at Goal 10K pace (your target race pace) and practice at maintaining a steady pace. A 5 km race or test during preparation helps you assess your fitness and how you manage your effort. The Plan Guide complements the plan with detailed guidance on managing sessions, race strategy and getting organised before race day.
