I can make it simple.

Three sessions per week with different focus:

1- Start by a fast run, fast runs for a 10 km should not be longer than 7 km, anything between 5 and 7 is good. The run should not be at full capacity because even 5 km is long for that, but it should be faster than your regular speed.

Some variations to this can be added later when you have progressed like 7 km with the first 3,5 km at a certain speed and the second 3,5 km at a faster speed.
More variations can by variating the speed during the run, there is no need to be disciplined for that.

2- The most important session is the HIIT, I usually do one of the following but I think they are not necessary for a 10 km, you can always shorten them:
a- 10 x (1min + 1min)
b- 10 x (2min + 1min)
c- 10 x upphill

3- Long steady distance, start these by the distance that you can complete at the same tempo and increase that, usually a 10% increase is good. Do the increase every other week (run the same distance twice). By the end when you reach the 10 km you can increase your speed until you reach your race speed. There is absolutely no harm in doing more than 10 km but don't go over 13 km.

How many weeks do you have before the race?
It's October 2nd. So however many that is.

Worst run I had this summer. Had no energy and my legs were still tired from hills yesterday.

I think it's because I had lunch, which I don't usually do before working out.

Man, I fucking hate running.

Once my health is squared away, I plan on trying it.
I will definitely try it too, although I'm thinking of bulking up first.

Also I didn't train for a long time now, I think I'm gonna start this or next week, now I have a little bit high blood pressure so I need to sort that first.

Yeah.. when I look at them I just want to go and eat those bars. Dips are awesome. They are good for strength too.

Sad my building gym doesnt have the setup.
