How to run a 10K race
It made me
extremely happy
 "It was a great run on a beautiful day. I had the most wonderful feeling of accomplishment when I crossed the finish line."
How I did it: i actually went down to the running room and signed up for a 10K class. They take you from start to finish and give advice on nutrition, injury, extreme weather running et. Unfortunately half way through i did get injured. it was bad enough that i had to stop going to the class. I really wanted to complete a race so once my injury healed i started running on my own. i still went to the running room occasionally since they have free open runs every week. That kept me motivated. i also started going to the gym and doing some strength training once a week. that helped me prevent getting injured again. i asked the advice of a trainer so i was doing exercises that would benefit my running. then i went online and found a local 10K race and signed up! its great to have an actual date on the calendar that you are working towards. i enjoyed the run so much that i have decided i want to do a half marathon in the spring!! for anyone who is thinking about it, its a great goal to have and even better to complete. you will feel great after! Lessons & tips: slow and steady is the best policy. find a running club or organization or just a running buddy to keep you motivated. make sure you get good shoes!! i had some serious trouble with my feet and it turned out to be all shoe related. once i got new ones that were right for my feet the problems went away. Resources: The running room website is awesome. they have tons of info and links to events all over the country. |

How I did it: I registered for it in about January but didn't start training until about February. I took it slowly. I started running 3k-4k at the gym on the treadmill. Then I found this great site called walkrunjog.net (i think) where you can create running routes in your neighborhood and it calculates time and distance. There were times when I had too many "rest" days, to say the least, but I was definitely more prepared than I would have been … Read how I did it…
6.25 miles in 45:13 today.
First mile in 6:54
First 5k in 22:00
Second 5k in 23:13
I’m only doing about half the mileage (or even less) than I want to do per week, but such is the way it is with my work hours and energy level during the week.
This run felt good, but I’d really like my fitness level to be better when I race. I don’t like to breath as hard as I do when I’m not in the best shape.
what’s available in the area. I did 11 miles (just over 17 1/2 km) today and know a 10k would be easily done on race day. I just want to do it at 40 minutes or near that. Don’t know if my ability is there yet.
still training, slowly but surely. I am running outside more which is a more realistic way to train since the race is outdoors, plus it’s more interesting. i found a great website that lets you track your route and tells you the distance, how long it will take you depending on your speed, and even how many calories you will burn. it’s great!! I’m at about 5k still. gotta pick up the pace on training! i hope to be at 8k by the beginning of May.
I have sort of started training. I am only running about 3k at the moment. I am hoping to move up to 4 by the end of the month, then 5-6k in March. By May I will be able to run 10k.
I just signed up for a 10k run that is in 4 months. i think this will be a great goal to work towards. and i’ve always wanted to particate in one of these

On May 3, 2009, I am running a REAL 10k race, not a 10k race on my own.

I ran it in 1:25:17 but I finished!
Originally I had planned to run a half marathon this year but the way things look right now I don’t think I’ll have time to train for one.
So I think I’ll be doing a 10k race later this year- I’m thinking either City to Surf (in August) or the Fremantle Fun Run (in October).
