Question: how many miles per week should i run to train for a 10k?
Answer: Training Plans for Beginner 10K Runners If you've never run a 10K and you're currently running less than 5 miles a week, expect to spend 8–10 weeks preparing for your 10K. If you have more of a mileage base, you may be able to skip the first one to two weeks of training and move right on to week two or three.
