Re: My First 10k Run
Use a quality treadmill (pacemaster / life fitness) in your training. Check some min/max heart rate zones for your age. Pull at 145 bpm for 5 minutes, back off to 120, back to 145 etc. Use the technology to help maximize your time and effort.
Do a search on 10k training plans. I know there were some good ones years ago that were sub elements of marathon training plans. 8 weeks is fine as long as you don't get injured. You soccer stamina will help with oxygen consumption, now you need to build the stride and timing.
Good luck...I love Boulder in the Spring!!
PS...on your diet comments. I wouldn't radically change anything other than adding some protein after a hard run.
