4 Running Tips to Improve Your 10K Time - Men's Fitness

4 Running Tips to Improve Your 10K Time - Men's Fitness: "Training for a 10K race is difficult. It isn’t a sprint, so running shorter distances on a track isn’t as crucial, but it’s not even a half-marathon either—so sustained long distance runs aren’t as beneficial. And your pace needs to be fast, but not too fast, or your body will be gassed long before you cross the finish line. With correct training, nutrition, and a proper mindset, you can get faster. It’s just a matter of knowing how."
