Training Program(s):

Current plan is a 10K training plan I made using the Runner’s World Smart Coach app.  It is about 20-25 miles a week: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. The weekday sessions range in distance from 3 to 6 miles, with the weekend sessions being the “long run” day at 7 to 11 miles. The plan integrates Easy Runs,  Tempo Runs, Speed Runs, and I am adding some hill sessions as well, just to mix things up.
