are ready to progress further with your running, or you've been running on your ... like to learn to run a little faster, or simply feel more comfortable when you run.
Run10KFaster Program So YOU are a runner! You have either already completed the LearnToRun10K program and are ready to progress further with your running, or you’ve been running on your own 2-3 times per week for about 30 minutes, and you’re ready for some variety in a program. Perhaps you’d like to learn to run a little faster, or simply feel more comfortable when you run. Your goal for following the SportMed Run10KFaster program should be to complete a 10K at the end of 13 weeks more comfortably than you ever have before. Your personal pace is entirely up to you, and you should, for the most part, be relaxed, steady and able to carry on a conversation. This program will provide a gradual progression in distances as well as intensity, so that your personal pace will improve because it will feel easier. You’ll notice there are options for the amount of running you can choose to do indicated by the words “as you feel”. If you have just completed the LearnToRun10K program, you are relatively new to the sport, or you are a runner who has not been consistent with that “30 minutes 2-3 times per week”, then stay with the shorter suggested options. If you are more experienced, then you’ll understand what “as you feel” means, and perhaps choose the longer suggested options, depending on how you feel and what sort of distances you are already comfortable with. Note: Remember, this program is preparing you for the 10K distance. If you are looking to run for longer than the suggested amounts of time in the program, please know you will compromise what is optimal preparation for a 10K and should consider SportMedBC’s programs for the HalfMarathon or Marathon, depending on your experience.
