Despite being “short” from a distance runner’s standpoint, the 10k is a difficult race distance to master. The 10k is a blend of speed and endurance that necessitates running only a few ticks slower than 5k pace, yet for double the distance. Our 10k FAST program is designed to prepare advanced competitors for the exact physiological challenges of the 6.2-mile distance, teach the body and mind how to push, and perfect a pacing strategy. Price will increase $10 on May 15th, 2024.

The 10k FINISH program is designed for the currently-casual athlete who is ready to take their training to the next level.

Throughout the program, you'll gradually increase your mileage as you train mentally and physically for the 6.2-mile distance. Price will increase $10 on May 15th, 2024.
