Running Mile Repeats | 10K Training Plan Sub 38 Series Ep.5 | That Running Guy - That Running Guy

Intro: This is a quick summary of Running Mile Repeats | 10K Training Plan Sub 38 Series Ep.5 from That Running Guy. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points:

  • Goal: hit a ~6:05 min per mile pace and hold it across four mile repeats.
  • Start a bit slower (around 6:10) and settle into the target pace.
  • Recovery jogs were meant to be 2 minutes but can be extended to 3 minutes if legs feel heavy.
  • Focus on steady breathing, form, and a relaxed upper‑body to keep the pace consistent.
  • If the pace drops (e.g., to 6:04), dig in and push through the head‑wind.

Workout Example:

  1. Warm‑up as needed.
  2. Repeat 1: 1 mile @ ~6:05 min/mile, 2 min recovery jog.
  3. Repeat 2: 1 mile @ ~6:05 min/mile, 2 min recovery (extend to 3 min if legs feel tight).
  4. Repeat 3: 1 mile @ ~6:04 min/mile, 3 min recovery.
  5. Repeat 4: 1 mile @ ~6:04 min/mile, 3 min recovery. Adjust the recovery time or pace slightly based on how you feel—aim to keep each mile within the 6:04–6:05 range.

Closing Note: Give this mile‑repeat session a go and tweak the recovery intervals to match your own fitness level using the Pacing app. You’ll build stamina and speed for that sub‑38 10K—good luck and enjoy the run!
