10K training plan

The ASICS Falmouth Road Race is held in Falmouth on the Cape Cod peninsula in Massachusetts. The route hugs the shoreline, with open ocean views, narrow stretches of road and a climb in the closing section before the finish. It is an iconic coastal course, run at the height of summer.

27 km, the historic seven miles. The race holds a World Athletics Label Road Race designation, which guarantees a recognised standard of measurement and organisation, and it regularly attracts an international field at a distance that rarely gets that attention.

When to start

A build for this distance usually runs 8 to 12 weeks. Counted back from race day, that puts the start somewhere between May 17, 2027 and June 14, 2027.

These ranges are working conventions, not a research finding — no trial has compared plan lengths against each other. What matters more is that the plan was built for the weeks you actually have, rather than shrunk down from a longer one.
