Intro: FOD Runner’s Summer 10k Training Series – Week 3 is worth checking out — here’s a breakdown you can apply today. Head to the full video for deeper context.

Key Points:

• This week keeps mileage intentionally low to accommodate work and race prep, with emphasis on recovery runs and brief, potent speed bursts.
• Training by heart rate takes center stage: Zone 3‑4 during tempo efforts, with genuinely easy recovery on off-days.
• The target for race weekend is dropping back under 36 minutes for 10k.
• Quick 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 @ ~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 where you stay relaxed in Zone 2, with focus on steady breathing and controlled heart rate.

Closing Note: Test these recovery sessions and micro-surge repeats this week. Tweak the paces using the Pacing app to fit your current fitness. Stay disciplined, trust the process, and chase that sub‑36 min 10k — you’re ready for it.
