10K Peak: Elevating Your Endurance and Intensity

If you’re comfortable running 10km and are ready to improve your speed and performance, this program is designed to help you take the next step in your running.

This plan follows my Raw Endurance philosophy — focusing on how your body feels rather than constantly chasing numbers on your watch. Your watch is a useful tool, but I want you to develop a better understanding of your effort, pacing, and rhythm so you can run faster while staying consistent.

The Program Outline

Structured Progression: The program is split into two 4-week blocks. Each block includes three weeks of building your fitness, followed by one easier week to allow your body to recover, adapt, and prepare for the next stage.

Feel-Based Training: I use a 5-tier effort framework — Easy, Aerobic, Tempo, Threshold, and VO₂/Fast — to help you understand the purpose of each session. This takes away some of the pressure of relying only on pace and helps you become more in tune with your running.

Dynamic Workouts: The program includes a mix of quality sessions, including classic speed workouts like the Mona Fartlek, along with sustained tempo efforts to improve your endurance and ability to hold a strong pace.

Body Conditioning: I include cross-training and runner-specific strength work to support your running, improve durability, and help your body handle the demands of faster training.

Mental Strategies: Speed doesn’t come from forcing every step — it comes from running efficiently. I’ll help you develop simple cues to stay relaxed, maintain good form, and move smoothly when sessions become challenging.

Prerequisites

This program is designed for runners who can already complete a 10km run and are currently averaging around 20km or more per week.
