10k run training schedule is boring!

I am in week five now of a 10k running programme. All I get in the schedule is easy runs, followed by easy runs. I am getting very bored of it!!!

When will I get something different, such as hill or speed training?

It also does not seem to be increasing in distance. Just 3.2, 4k easy runs. I am not a beginner, which I specified at the start. I can already complete a 10k in around 55mins, but want to improve this (would love to get back down to 50mins, which I could do a few years ago!)

I want to continue with the plan, but feel it is actually holding me back and my fitness is getting worse!

Which plan are you dong? If you did not choose beginner, then it would be either "Heart Rate Based, Intermediate," or "10K Intermediate." On week 5 I see threshold pace intervals.

I can see to end of week 5 now, just more easy runs........ The longest being 6.44k which I have already done a few times.

I chose 10k intermediate...

There is just no variety. I'll stick with it for a bit longer, but it was not what I was hoping for. It just isn't pushing me at all.

Thanks for your reply though.
