Training for a 10k in 6 weeks.

I used to run cross country from 7th-12th grade. 6 weeks is WAY short, but not impossible. What are your goals? what day is the race?

 

**** off this is for boxers

 

10k is **** all. He should be able to run 5k continously on his 2nd or 3rd go.

Start of running 5 k even if you cant run the whole way try to. Goive yourself a 2-3 day break. Then about 3 weeks up it to 8k.

 

I have one on sunday only got told yesterday atsch

 

If you can run 5k 10 shouldn't be a problem, especially with 6 weeks to prepare. Just break up the days with different intensities, long distance one day at a steady pace, intervals next day, rest day, interval day and repeat. Eat plenty of carbs for your training and pay attention to your body, focus on good form and a good rythym. Take a few days off if you are feeling drained, add in some sprints for leg power and out and out speed if you want to break it up abit. Running is about efficiency so make sure you are relaxed with your arms moving forward. Honestly 10k should be a breeze. Train well and relax well, you don't really need a strict programme to do it. Also make sure you rest for a few days before your race and you eat plenty of carbs leading up to it.

 

I run anywhere from 18-25 miles a week.

Typically, everytime I run, I run 6.5 miles.

Idealy, I do this 4 times a week.

So why in the **** do I still hate this ****?

I need some advice from some cross country runners because, I don't understand why I still have to force myself through this.

And it's not like I'm runnin slow. I'm doin it in about 45 minutes which ain't fast, but it's not slow either.

So is typical for your legs to always hurt?

To be honest, I think my legs start hurtin before I get tired.

What's the problem?

 

I thought you were a boxer not a runner?

 

You think 25 miles a week makes me a runner?

I know a guy on the cross country team that laughs at that ****. He runs 90-100 miles a week. He runs a 10k in under 30 minutes.

What's 25 miles? And to be honest, that's a good week.

Still though, running is a major part of boxing. Mayweather runs 8-9 miles when he runs.

Bernard used to run like a fanatic.

Running, and for me personally, weightlifting, and recently swimming, is my base.

Boxing and other athletic sports are built upon that base.

 

Running is just cardio. You don't have to run to be a boxer.

 

Looks like god didn't make you a 'born runner'. Nothing you can do bud

 

I agree.

I'm relatively quick, but when it comes to distance, I just don't think I have the right build to be an excellent runner.

What I found to be false though is those that claim that running distance, if you consider 18-25 miles a week distance, is that it breaks you down and makes you look like a marathon runner.

It isn't happening to me...

I think you just gotta be predisposed to look like that.

 

Could be the shoes you're wearing and your form.
A lot of high-end running stores have treadmills and they'll analyze your stride and your feet and advise you on what type of shoe you should be wearing.
Are you hydrated enough? Do you stretch after?
