You’ve conquered the 5K, and now you’re craving something that goes the distance, but maybe a full marathon still feels a step too far. The 10K might just be your sweet spot.
At 6.2 miles (10 kilometres), it’s the Goldilocks of races. Long enough to build endurance and short enough to stay fun. It’s a favourite among Singapore runners tackling races like the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 10KM, the Garmin Run, or weekend events along East Coast Park and Marina Bay.
No matter your pace, Let’s Run There — toward stronger miles, new challenges, and your best self.
🎯 Why Train for a 10K?
The 10K is more than just “double a 5K.” It challenges your stamina, pacing, and mental grit — all in one powerful distance.
A proper 10K training plan will help you:
- Build endurance safely without overtraining
- Develop consistency in our humid Singapore climate
- Peak on race day feeling strong, not sore
Brooks Beasts coach Danny Mackey has crafted training plans trusted by pros and beginners alike and designed to help you run smarter, not just harder.
Because when your training plan works for you, you don’t just run the race — you run there.
👟 Gear Up. Let’s Run There.
Running in Singapore means hot days, humid nights, and the occasional tropical downpour — so the right gear matters.
Start with your shoes:
Your perfect pair can make all the difference. Not sure what works for your stride? Try our Brooks Shoe Finder to discover the model that fits your training style.
And ladies, please don’t overlook your run bra. The right support keeps you comfortable from your first stride to your final sprint. Use our Bra Finder to find your best match.
💡 Tip: Stick to the gear you’ve trained in. Don’t debut new shoes or apparel on race day. Your un-chafed self will thank you later.
🥗 Eat Well, Run Happy
Fuel smart, not fast-food. A balanced diet is key for performance, especially in Singapore’s climate where recovery and hydration are everything.
- Go for complex carbs (brown rice, oats, noodles), lean protein, and healthy fats.
- Hydrate consistently, not just during runs.
- Experiment during training to find what works best for your body.
You don’t need a sports science degree to fuel right. Just listen to your body, eat mindfully, and hydrate like you mean it.

Running is always better with a crew. Join a local community like parkrun SG, Running Department, or your own circle of running buddies.
