10K training plan

Running a city 10K or your first 10K race? TriQuest builds a personal 10K plan around the days and the time you have.

The TriQuest calendar on iPhone with the week's workouts, their structure and times.

How your 10K plan is built

You choose the race and tell TriQuest what your week looks like. The plan is built in phases: a base of mostly easy running, a build with more quality, a race-specific phase with sessions at race pace and a taper before the start.

What a 10K asks of you

  • Threshold

    tempo runs close to race pace, the core of 10K training.

  • Speed

    intervals that make race pace easier to hold.

  • Long run

    one longer easy run a week that builds endurance.

  • Race day

    a taper, so you arrive rested.

A week that fits your life

  • You set the days you can run, how much time you have each day and the day for the long run.
  • Most runs are easy, and hard sessions get easier days in between.
  • Lighter weeks come at regular intervals, so your body has time to absorb the work.
  • When your week changes, you move or shorten a session and the plan takes it into account.

Workouts with pace and heart rate

  • Pace and heart rate zones from your own thresholds.
  • Workouts go to your Garmin step by step, and the run comes back to the plan by itself.
  • With an Apple Watch, your planned workouts are in the watch's Workout app.
  • Want to work out a pace or a goal time? Use the pace calculator or the race time predictor.

Common questions

Common questions about 10K training

How many runs a week will I get?

It depends on your week. You set the days you can train and how much time you have, and the plan puts the sessions there, with easier days between the hard ones.

Can I run on a treadmill?

Yes. Choose treadmill or outdoors on the workout, and it is linked to the right shoes.

What if I get injured or ill?

The plan adapts. You can pause your training and get a gradual return, and the Coach follows up the problem and proposes changes that you approve.

What does it cost?

During the beta, everything is included at no cost.
