Intro: FOD Runner’s Summer 10k Training Series – Week 3 is worth checking out. Here’s a breakdown you can run today. Watch the full video for context.

Key points

• The week keeps mileage intentionally low to accommodate work and race prep, with recovery runs and short speed bursts.
• Heart-rate training: Zone 3-4 during tempo efforts, easy recovery on off-days.
• Target for race weekend is dropping back under 36 minutes for 10k.
• Tactical tip: 10-second hard pushes followed by 50-second recovery jogs deliver speed gains without draining you.

Workout example

• Thursday, 30-minute run:
  • 5 min easy warm-up
  • 4 × (10 sec hard surge at ~5:40 mi pace, 50 sec easy jog)
  • 5 min easy cool-down
  • Total: ~3.8 mi at 8:29/mi average (~13 min km)
• Monday, 40-minute easy run: relaxed in Zone 2, steady breathing, controlled heart rate.

Closing note Try these recovery sessions and micro-surge repeats this week. Tweak the paces in the Pacing app to your fitness.
