If you're two weeks away from your 10K race, follow this plan, running 5-6 times per week to prepare your body. If you're a relatively new runner, this 14-day training plan will teach you to run efficiently and get the best out of your legs on the day. If you're a regular runner, use this training plan to fine-tune your fitness for the distance.
