Prep for a 10k
Everything You ACTUALLY Need to Prep for a 10K 🏃♂️”
Most people think you just show up and run.That’s why most people struggle.
If you want your 10K to feel strong, here’s your real prep checklist:
1. A Simple Training PlanYou don’t need anything crazy.3–4 runs per week is enough:
- 1 long run
- 1 speed workout
- 1–2 easy runs
Consistency > intensity.
2. The Right ShoesDon’t race in brand new shoes.Break them in before race day or your feet will hate you.
3. Pacing StrategyGoing out too fast = guaranteed fade.Start controlled, finish strong.
4. Fuel & HydrationFor a 10K, keep it simple:
- Eat a light meal 2–3 hours before
- Stay hydrated (don’t overdo it)
5. Race Day OutfitNothing new on race day.Wear what you’ve already trained in.
6. Warm-Up RoutineDon’t start cold:
- 5–10 min easy jog
- Dynamic stretches
- A few short strides
7. Mental PlanKnow your “why.”The race gets hard around mile 4–5. Be ready for it.
Final Tip:Your goal isn’t just to finish…It’s to finish feeling like you raced smart.
