This is the right plan for you if:
- You have already completed the 10k Couch to Complete and want to take the next step.
- You run 3 times in any given week for at least 30-45 minutes on your regular runs and 60 - 75 minutes on your long runs.
- You are prepared to build on this.

This 10k training plan not only includes stamina and speed workouts but uses our unique 10k workout sequence to make sure you have the mental and physical strength to achieve your goal. We have had so much success with it and we think you'll love the challenge across the plan.
For each and every run, you will get the exact pace range for each run/workout and will advance the paces as you progress through the training plan so you are always optimally challenged. The plan is flexible so it can flow with your life. You can easily move runs around based on your life schedule.
In addition to the run training, you will also be provided our strength training program that syncs with your run training as well as the form drills to help you improve your running form and learn to run fast. These ""prehab"" programs are included with your plan and build you into a strong, supple, injury-resistant runner.
Once you have purchased you plan, we will send you an invite to our Private Online Training Platform: Final Surge. Once you have connected to this platform we will apply you plan to it. Happy running.

This 10km training plan really boosted my running fitness, speed and confidence. It allowed me to achieve my fastest 10km times and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking to achieve their running goals.
Let customers speak for us
from 5 reviewsWith a start that saw me select the wrong training plan, I was contacted immediately (and proactively, I hadn’t noticed my error) with a resolution.
The app was easily integrated into my Apple Watch fitness app, so all I needed to do each day was check my regular two-day summary email, then choose the fitness activity on my Watch as I prepped for each training run.
It did take me a bit to work out the heart rate zones but once I did, I was focused on my regular Zone 2 target! I was running (comfortably) longer Sunday distances within weeks.
What I didn’t do was some of the strength training offered and am now nursing and IBL inflammation that had me to a grinding stop. But once I build my glutes and the inflammation has healed, I’ll pick up again. Don’t skip the strength training! It is included in your plan.
I’ve been recommending the program to anyone who mentions wanting to improve or start running.
Simon has been super helpful along the way - although for the low price paid, I don’t lean heavily on asking questions, given there is a coaching program available and so far, I’ve just opted into the basic training program.

Working with Simon as my running coach has been an absolute game-changer for me. His expertise goes far beyond just improving my pace; he has transformed my entire approach to running. The personalized training program has been tailored to my goals, ensuring each session pushed me to new limits while preventing burnout or injury, which as a middle aged guy I have had issues with in the past.
Simon kept me honest, gently calling me out if I was struggling with consistency and his motivational strategies and insightful advice helped me overcome mental barriers, boosting my confidence on and off the track.
Thanks to Simon’s expertise and unwavering commitment, I've not only become a better runner but also a more resilient individual. I wholeheartedly recommend Simon as a running coach to anyone seeking not just improvements in their running but a holistic transformation in their athletic journey.
Thanks so much

Simon is an excellent coach, he positively encouraged me to complete my program and helped smash out a new 1500m and 800m personal best. He consistently motivated me to be the best version of myself and got my head in the right space and race ready with the right strategy.
Simon had unwavering support for me throughout my journey and offered brilliant advice and support to me when I needed it. He kept me responsible and in control of my training load and was very good at reminding me what my focus and what my "why" was.
Overall Simon is the best coach I have had in my time of running. Which is why I definitely recommend him as a coach to others as he has helped me to become more focused on my goals and a more disciplined athlete overall.
