CARA's 10k Training Program Schedule

This schedule will prepare you for a 10k (6.2-mile) race. Below the mileage you will cover during your weekly group runs. You will receive the full 8-week training schedule in your Participant Information Booklet (handed out at the KickOff Clinic).

Your speed is not important. Focus on continually running the distance shown for each workout. Always be sure to warm up properly, and after you run, stretch gradually and thoroughly.

Note that we recommend you train toward a long run that is slightly farther than an actual 10k. By doing so, you will have the conditioning and confidence you need to successfully finish your 10k race.
