10k off Mid-D training

High School Running

5 years ago 01/11/2019 10:34am EST

For my gym class, I have to run a 10km road race. I looked into this race, and I saw that the winner receives 250$ . Being competitive (and a poor student), I'll try to win. However, when the race takes place, I'll be in pre-season training for summer track. I'd probably need a sub 33 to win, so I want to know if anyone has run a 10k off 800/1500 training (50-60mpw) and what your results were. The 10k is in early April, summer track starts in late May. Pr's are 1:59, 4:06, 26:40 (XC).

Obviously, I won't do anything to mess up my track training for this 10k, I was just wondering if I could run a sub 33 off pre-season mid-d training.

Up your mileage to about 80 MPW range.

Start doing more strength work i.e. tempo runs, progression runs and long steady runs.

Every other week do stuff like 6 x 2k, 3 x 5k, 4 x 3k @ 10k - half marathon pace w/ 1k steady

26:40 is a pretty good 10k time

Pretty sure 26:40 is for 8k. . .
