Based on How to Run a 10k PB from This Messy Happy, here’s what stood out. The video is worth watching in full; the key takeaways are pulled out below so you can jump into the workout right away.

Key points

• Discipline with 5–6 runs per week and steady mileage was Mary’s biggest lever for the PB.
• Training was structured across different timescales (months for macro cycles, weeks for focused blocks, individual sessions for daily targets), so she could build aerobic capacity, sharpen speed, and bake in recovery.
• Cross-training with pilates and kettlebells, plus prioritizing sleep, kept her body recovering well.
• Running the race by feel and only checking the watch at km splits kept her relaxed and let her run faster.

Workout example Speed-endurance interval (kitchovy session)

• Warm-up: 10 min easy jog.
• 3 x 1.2 km repeats at target 10K pace (~4:30/km) with 2–3 min easy jog recovery between.
• Cool-down: 10 min easy.

Do this 2–3 times per week during the meso block focused on speed endurance.

Closing note: Try this interval workout and stick with the consistent weekly structure, dialing in paces with the Pacing app based on your current fitness.
