Running 10K in Saitama

Using these routes for 10K training

A 10K route that avoids stoplights is worth more than a scenic one when you are running to pace. Look for the loops rather than the out-and-backs if you want an uninterrupted tempo effort. Check route details and local traffic conditions before running GPS art routes.

Picking by elevation

For race-pace work, choose the flattest option here. For threshold sessions, moderate rolling terrain is fine and arguably better preparation for a hilly race.

When to run

Depends on city weather and season.
