Question 1

What race can I prepare for with this plan?

Accepted Answer

All of them! You choose the 10K race you want to run, and your Campus training adapts to its date.

Question 2

How to train for a 10km?

Accepted Answer

In this Campus plan, you'll find varied workouts: easy endurance runs, interval workouts with specific 10K pace, but also speed workouts to work on your MAS and optional S&C (general physical conditioning) workouts. With that, you have everything you need for optimal 10K preparation.

Question 3

What are the cycles of the 10k plan?

Accepted Answer

We'll first improve your speed with sprint workouts, strength endurance workouts, and MAS. What is the goal? To make you faster and stronger, which will give you more room to maneuver and make you more comfortable at your 10K pace. This is where we'll train specific endurance with threshold work, fun pace variation workouts, and of course 10K pace to imprint it in your body and mind!
It's thanks to these workouts that you'll better resist fatigue and overtake many runners at the end of the race!

Question 4

Can you track a running workout without a GPS watch?

Accepted Answer

✅Yes, with the Campus app, no need for a GPS watch to track your running workout.
The running activity tracker allows you to:
Track the distance covered in real-time

Know your instantaneous pace

Receive vocal or vibration alerts with each pace or phase change

Precisely visualize your effort and recovery intervals

Track specific indicators such as terrain type or pace variations (e.g., trail)

📱 All you need is your smartphone in your pocket to benefit from complete and precise tracking, without a GPS watch.

Question 5

How many workouts are there per week?

Accepted Answer

Campus lets you choose!
👉🏻 We guide you with the best recommendation to help you progress, but the freedom is in your hands. From 3 to 7 workouts per week, you adjust according to your habits or preferences.
👉🏻 More (or fewer) workouts = an estimated finish time that fits your reality.
👉🏻 Your training plan is flexible, realistic, and effective, so you can train sustainably and enjoyably.

Question 6

Is this plan suitable for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Although there are specific plans for beginners, Campus 10K training plans can suit you just fine if you run about 2 times a week and want to run your first 10K.

Question 7

What is a good time for a 10k?

Accepted Answer

The “good time” for you is the time we estimate based on your profile, your resources, and your consistency to your Campus training plan. If you've already run a 10K, you can then compare your experiences and enjoy your new record with Campus!

Question 8

If I miss a workout, does my plan adapt?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all your running workouts, whether completed or missed, are analyzed by Campus. This allows us to continuously adapt your training plan so that you get the most personalized 10K plan possible!

Question 9

Can you run a 10K without specific preparation?

Accepted Answer

If you already run 30-40 minutes regularly, you can finish a 10K without specific training. But for an enjoyable experience and a good time, 6-8 weeks of preparation change everything.

Question 10

What is a "good" 10K time?

Accepted Answer

According to our Campus surveys, a beginner usually finishes between 55 min and 1h10. An intermediate runner aims for 45-55 min. Under 40 min, you are among the 10-15% fastest in your age group.

Question 11

Can you move straight from 5K to 10K?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that's even the natural path. If you've been running 5K regularly for 2-3 months, 8 weeks of 10K training plan with Campus may be enough to make the transition safely.
But as always at Campus, we recommend taking your time and opting for a long training plan in order to build your progress over the long term.
