Get ready for 10 km with Elektrum Energetic training plans
17 February 2025As the 12-week countdown to the Rimi Riga Marathon 2025 on May 17–18 begins on February 24, we invite you to follow our 10km training plans. In collaboration with Elektrum, these plans have been designed by one of Latvia’s fastest long-distance runners, Anita Siliņa!
Some might think that 10km is easy peasy lemon squeezy, but no matter which distance you choose at the Rimi Riga Marathon, training is key. With the right preparation, you’ll feel confident on race day and cross the finish line with a smile!
Here’s what you have to keep in mind!
#1 Kilometers and Consistency
The medium training plans are recommended for runners who run 10–15km per week and who want to prepare thoughtfully for a 10km. The focus of these training sessions is on a steady pace, rather than achieving a high result!
The advanced training plans are recommended for runners who run 20–25km per week and are preparing for a fast race. The advanced plans are for experienced runners who want to challenge themselves to achieve a high result and train systematically.
#2 What should you do if these training plans are too hard?
You can adjust the training intensity yourself by either reducing the intensity of the sessions, planning an extra rest day, or replacing a harder run with a light jog.
Let’s remember that we are not professional runners, so on days when the weather is bad or work pressure is high, please take a day off!
#3 Start on February 24th
To join the 12-week training plan, training should begin on February 24. By following regular training, it is possible to prepare for the 10km with strength and confidence, while avoiding burnout or injuries.
#4 What’s next with Elektrum energetic training plans?
As part of the Elektrum energetic training plan series, there will also be 8-week 6 km running plans, also created by Anita Siliņa.
#5 Join us in Mežaparks!
We also invite you to join the weekly Sunday Elektrum Energetic training program starting March 2nd in Mežaparks, where you can get moving and prepare together for the Rimi Riga Marathon.
We are glad that Elektrum will take care of every runner throughout the entire running season, from the very first individual training sessions to the Mežaparks group trainings, all the way to the energetic finish at the Rimi Riga Marathon.
