10K shoe rotations

The 10K asks for speed and stamina in roughly equal measure. A good rotation covers easy volume, one or two faster sessions per week, and a race option that feels fast without being fragile.

Below are sample rotations by experience level. The weighting balances tempo capability with enough cushioning for the longer efforts a 10K block demands.

Goal weighting: Tempo and long-run suitability are balanced; race picks favour versatile shoes over pure marathon racers.
