Subject: Extending a Running Plan ( 10-K into a 15 K)

   Okay, I am week 5 finished session 1 and have session 2 tomorrow or Wednesday (WX dependent).  As you can see this is a basic "time" plan 3 runs a week, with the hard run, the easy run and then the medium run ( Goldie Locks would be SO proud) with an easier "rest and recovery week every 4th week.   In January there is a local 5 K / 15 K.  I would really like to do the 15 K. How would I continue the below plan to be ready for the 15K? Say I add 3 weeks, and make this into a 16 week plan, what times would I bump up to over the final 3 weeks?

I'd say you could probably safely bump up to about 70/50/50 for two weeks, possibly three.

Sorry, that was a little short. I got interrupted.

Overall, I think that training to run a 15K isn't much different than a 10K. An extra three weeks tacked on to the end of the plan isn't going to improve your racing a whole lot come race day. I would say that bump it based on how you feel. If you feel good, then go about 5-10 minutes per run. If your goal is to get to the finish line in one piece, you don't even really need to taper for it, maybe take the day off before (I'm guessing based on what I would do, because I recover somewhat quickly).

you should be fine.. Just be smart about it..

Scout7 is on the money.. 10K and 15K plans aren't that different.

Don't force anything..
