Built for hot conditions

Heat changes running.

Humidity changes running.

A pace that feels easy in cool weather can feel much harder when conditions are hot.

This plan shows you when to:

• Slow down
• Use effort instead of pace
• Add walking breaks
• Shorten a session
• Move the run to a cooler time
• Use a treadmill
• Stop when conditions become unreasonable

The goal is not to fight the heat.

The goal is to keep training consistently.

The goal

Distance: 10 km / 6.2 miles
Training period: 12 weeks
Running days: 3 per week
Target time: None
Goal: Complete your first 10K with control and confidence
