What if your 10K time isn’t a fitness issue—but a training mistake?
Your 5K might be strong—but if your 10K falls apart, there’s a reason. In this episode, we dig into the physiology, training strategy, and psychological traps that make the 10K feel like an entirely different sport. You’ll learn why a small change in energy demands exposes your weaknesses, how to adapt your training to match, and how the 10K can actually set you up for marathon success. Includes free 10K training plan and pacing strategy download.
Key Takeaways
- 5K and 10K are both aerobic-heavy—but the small shift in energy system use changes everything.
- Training for a strong 10K builds a bridge to faster half marathons and marathons.
- Long intervals, tempo work, and understanding your pace drop-off are critical to improving 10K times
