Can anyone recommend a good 8-10 week 10k program? I want to run in April so need to start working up to it. Thanks.

There is a C210K program. Google it. It's from the same people that did C25K.0

The Smart Coach tool on the Runner's World web site is a good tool. That combined with the Mcmillan Running calculator will help you dial in a great program! Good luck!0
