Moving from 5k to 10k?

There's really not much to it but to run more, run longer, abiding by the 10% rule if you can.   Haven't looked at your logs, but should be no problem getting to 6 miles in the next 2 months

No problem I would expect!  Can you run 15 seconds slower per mile for longer?  Chances are you can go about twice as long at that pace!  Just the facts, but most people can.  It is not a linear effect!  It is more about pace than it is about distance  If you find you can't hold that pace, then ask and we can give you answers-most likely the answer will be longer distances at slower paces (endurance).

Take a look at the OLY training plans on BT.

I'm in the process of doing this right now.  Stared off with the Hal Higdon plan and kind of moved off to doing my own thing.  I just did my longest run - 5.5 miles on Saturday.  The key for me has been every week going a little farther on my long run and using the runs during the week to keep my base.  It's been a little crazy lately, but that approach has done well for me.  I have my first 10k in 3 weeks and I feel really confident about it.  I started the last week of June building up and it's mid August, so about 6ish weeks.  But because of weight and past knee injuries, I took my build up relatively slowly to keep myself healthy. 

Hahahaha

 

 

Thanks for the tips everyone, hopefully I'll be doing 10k soon!

And then there's just the swim. Oh well.
