Training plans for famous German running races
TERUN doesn't build a separate plan per race — it builds one sized to the distance, paced from your own running data, and periodized to your start date.
Whether it's the Berlin 10K, a New Year's Silvesterlauf or a marathon-weekend support race, the training principle is the same: pick the plan for your race's distance below, and TERUN fills in the paces, the build-up and the taper from your current fitness.
10K
- Berlin Morgenpost Great 10K — Germany's fastest 10K course, held since 2008.
- Silvesterlauf Werl — 10 km, run on New Year's Eve.
- Kölner Stadtlauf — Cologne, 10K/5K.
- Silvesterlauf München — Munich, 10 km, New Year's Eve.

The 10K training plan is built for exactly this: short and intense, with paces that have to be right.
10 mile
- 10-Meilen-Lauf Rund um die Alster — Hamburg, a 10-mile loop around the Alster lake.
There's no dedicated 10-mile page; use the adaptive training plan and set 10 mile as your distance.
