10K Race Strategy
The 10K requires sustained effort over a longer distance. Start conservatively in the first 2-3 kilometers, settle into your target pace through kilometers 4-7, then work to maintain or increase pace in the final stretch. A negative split (second half faster) is often the most efficient strategy.
