The Start Line: 5K → 10K Virtual Program. The Soul Runners Method

An 8-Week Steady Progression
This program is for runners who can already run 5K and want to go a little farther without rushing, forcing pace, or burning themselves out.
 
Start Line: 5K → 10K is an eight-week, effort-based progression that helps you extend distance calmly and confidently. Instead of chasing speed or intensity, the focus stays on steady effort, rhythm, and awareness, so endurance builds in a way that actually lasts.
 
You’ll run three times per week with thoughtfully structured distances, gentle progression, and optional strides. Long runs increase gradually, giving your body time to adapt while confidence grows quietly alongside it.
 
Throughout the program, Start Line check-ins help you reflect on how the work feels, not just what it looks like. You’ll pay attention to effort, breathing, and mindset, learning how to stay steady even as runs get longer.
 
This isn’t a checklist or a tracker-heavy plan. It’s coaching that assumes you already know how to show up and helps you trust yourself as distance increases.
By the end of eight weeks, 10K no longer feels intimidating. More importantly, you’ll know how to stay present, regulate effort, and keep running steady even when things stretch.
