Subject: Sub 40 min 10k

I am currently running in at around 58 - 55 for 10k run my goal is get in at around 45 min my Dream Goal is to hit the sub 40.

so i do this i am now starting to run 4 times a week.

2 workouts are on Speed Training which are being done on a Treadmill

and the other 2 are Long Distance from 10 - 15 km

i found this 8 week program.

would this do if i did each one twice a week i did week 1 twice, so Monday i will be Doing week 2 and Thursday i will do it again.

Week #1: 6 x 1M
3-minute jog between 1M repeats

Week #2: 10-12 x 400m

Run the 400m repeats at 5K race pace; 200m jog between

Week #3: 2M + 4 x 1M

5-minute jog between 2M repeats, 3-minute jog between 1M repeats

Week #4: 3M Tempo Run or 5K Race

One simple prediction method is to double your 5K time and add 1 minute to get your 10K time. Are you on track for your goal 10K time?

Week #5: 2 x 2M + 2 x 1M

5-minute jog between 2M repeats, 3-minute jog between 1M repeats

Week #6: 20-24 x 200m

Run the 200m repeats at 5K race pace; 200m jog between

Week #7: 3 x 2M

Run the 2M repeats at goal 10K race pace; 5 minutes jog between

Week #8: RACE: 10K

If you have the time, add weighted squats - back squat, front squat, overhead squats...and hill training with perhaps a weighted backpack.
