Best way to train for a 10k

JemErin

so I"ve taken on some challenge. I plan to run the 10k on May 10th in London, Ontario. I ran the 5k last year and did ok but this year I really want to kill it. Right now, I'd say that I can run a mile in about 10 minutes. I've looked online for some tips on training for the 10k but can't find one that really appeals to me. Any ideas?

Runnersworld.com has great tips and schedules for training for a 10K. There are two books I highly recommend for runners 1. Bart Yasso: My Life on the Run 2. Ultramarathon Man:Confessions of an All Night Runner, Bart Yasso's book has training tips and schedules in the appendix. I've been following one and it is working well. Best of luck to you!!
