Description

The 10k is a very popular race distance with good reason. It can serve as a natural stepping stone from 5k upwards, provide valuable racing experience for longer distances and can be a great challenge in its own right.



In today's episode I discuss why the 10k race can be quite different for different people, how to train for it and how to get the best out of yourself on race day.



I also reveal that it's a race distance I've struggled with in the past but how I'm hoping that I can challenge my best on my next attempt at the Great North 10k in July.
