A solid 10-miler somehow always feels just right: satisfyingly long enough without major recovery needed. It’s a perfect distance for roadies to bridge over to trails, and not too much pavement for a dirt-addict to try on the road. Use an upcoming 10-mile race as a tune-up for your next half or full marathon, or make a fast 10-er your A-race goal later in the year. You can train specifically for the distance with minor tweaks to a standard half-marathon plan.
