Training
Training for and taking part in the Bupa London 10,000 is not just a brilliant way to help you look and feel great, but it can also help you take great steps towards leading a healthier and more active lifestyle.
A 10K race is a great distance for novices and seasoned runners alike. To help you reach your target, whether you simply want to get round or you’re aiming to set a new personal best, we recommend that you follow a training schedule that will allow you to increase your fitness levels at a sensible and effective rate.
The sooner you can get into the habit of regular exercise, the earlier you will start to feel the benefits. If you have not taken part in any exercise for a while, however, consulting your doctor should precede any training.
