a week, but this plan, designed for runners who already log about 10 to 15 miles a week, alternates between harder and easier weekly workouts so your body can adjust to the increasing mileage. Focus on your effort rather than your time, Honerkamp says.

As you feel (AYF) For these runs, leave your watch behind and run for the fun of it, not because youre training. Go as fastor as slowas you like. Cross-train Do a light cardio workout of your choice for 15 minutes, followed by a strength-training routine.
Easy run Go at an RPE* of 5 to 6. Fartlek/Intervals Alternate between faster running and recovery walk/jogs. For a fartlek, use a variety of distances (for example, a half mile at a hard pace and a quarter mile at an easy one). For intervals, use a
specific time (for example, 2-minute sprints at an RPE of 8 with 2 minutes of recovery at an RPE of 3). Use a mix of these speeds throughout the plan. Hills Find a moderate-to-steep hill to run or set your treadmill to an incline of 2 percent or higher and do six to eight
one-minute pick-ups followed by an easy jog. Long run This is an easy run for a longer distance at an RPE of 5 to 6 (where speech is conversational). Tempo run Do this slightly slower than your 10K race pace or at an RPE of about 7 to 8.
