10k - how often
![[Deleted User]](https://w9.vanillicon.com/986697cea06a72e11b1a1782d8465ca6_100.png)
How often should I run a 10K race?
There seem to be quite a few going on, and I am looking at 3 all on consecutive weekend, is this to many?
I suppose I could treat a couple as normal training runs.

Personally I do them as structured training runs - I'm never going to win one but enjoy the event and the motivation of getting out and doing them, that's not to say I don't press myself but there is a difference between running and competing. In which case one a week is fine - if I wasn't doing it I'd be doing a 5-6 mile run on my own anyway.
Make any sense?
You dont say how long you've been running but to be honest if you think you can run 3 10k's in consecutive weeks, you probably can.
I find this time of year I need all the motivation I can get to run and frankly I dont think there's much better spur than having a race to look forward to. I'm probably doing it all wrong but I tend to only do one run between races when they are on consecutive weekends and with trick or treaters, fireworks, fog etc that suits me just fine.
Go for it!
