Training Schedules for 10K Participants

Here we will present a schedule for preparing you for the Portarlington 10K. We recommend that you consult with your GP if you have any health concerns before starting any training plan. 10 weeks is a lot of time to prepare, so be patient, take your time and have some fun with the training plan.

This training program is designed to get participants to the start line on 26 September well prepared and in top shape for the Run. The schedule starts off with very short runs / walks. The training program also includes some Cross Training. Cross Training will maintain your training, allow you to do a different activity and also reduces chance of injury. Cross Training suggested here includes swimming, cycling, rowing machines, stair climbers etc. Mondays and Fridays are rest days.

Novice runners will have to build up to a point where they can start this training program.
