Training for a 10K

McNulty

Hope this is the right forum for this...I want to get training for a 10K taking place on 17 May (Calcutta Run).

I have done a few 10K's and one half marathon before, but never really trained properly. This time I want to beat my Personal Best (1 hr 10 - which I know is slow) and get under an hour. Am I leaving it too late if I'm starting from now? Can anyone recommend a decent routine or site to get me started?

Cheers

Jim

www.runnersworld.co.uk and www.runnersworld.com are both amazing sites. When you've raced before have you given 100% or did you run at an easy pace? Come into the athletics or marathon forums down in the sports section you'll probably get more advice in those forums.

I've been following a Hal Higdon program for training for the Great Ireland run:

I've also used other programs of his, and found them to be well structured with a good mix of runs.
