The intermediate and advanced programs add a variety of speed and hill workouts that should include at least a one-mile warmup and a one-mile cooldown.


Since the goal is to race the 10-miler at or about your lactate-threshold pace, all three programs include at least one lactate-threshold-paced workout per week, along with one longer run to build endurance. These 10-week training plans (for intermediate, advanced, and beginning runners) were developed by Larry Indiviglia, a certified personal trainer and director of run programs at Island Fitness in San Diego.
