Randomly signed up for a 10-mile race at the end of March. Thinking of doing a training plan that looks like this for the LOLZ:
Weeks 1-4: 4x10-mile runs
Weeks 5-8: 5x10-mile runs
Week 9: 6x10-mile runs
Week 10: 2x10-mile runs + Sunday Race
How bad is this plan?
So when you train for a Half Marathon you only run HM distances and sprinters run only 100 Meters in training?

10-mile runs are my favorite runs. They are long enough to feel like a got a great run in, but not taxing and don't require much recovery time. I can also get them done <1:30 easy pace which fits in my schedule perfectly.
We have differing ideas as to what "plan" is. I dont doubt you could post a decent time (all other physical elements being good) but that look like a routine daily run for a non-racer. It's OK but not a plan.
Agree with the above poster.
It'll probably get you a decent time, but there are better ways to start with 40MPW and build up to 60MPW that will get you an even better time.
I only did one 10 miler back in the day and just used a half-marathon training plan.

I think the # of miles is more/less fine but, instead of 10 miles every run, some days can be 6-8 & others can be 12-14. You're still going to want easy runs, workouts, long runs, etc. You should be doing a good amount of threshold work for a 10 miler.
If you just want to run 10 miles/day, you'll be more than fine for the race. You'll probably race around whatever the fastest time you did for 10 in training.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
