running results are not an issue, be addicted to finishing. Once you've finished running your first 10k you can focus on trying to do the second one a bit faster.You can train to run a 10K is a short period of time.

You can start by running for 30 minutes, just to see where this gets you distance wise. Take that base distance and add 10-15% every week for 2 weeks. Cut back 10% on the 3rd week. Work you way up to 10K. If your training for a particular date, make sure to taper off a few days before the race to be well rested.

Since this is a 10k race, Running 10K as practice before the race should not prevent you from finishing it. I would recommend taking a few slows days before coming to the race (35-45% of your normal distance). Marathons are not to be ran as practice as they demand too much on your body to be done a few days before a meet.

Speed runs:
Speed runs and intervals will help you acheive faster times and better running results, they consist of running a fast as you can and then walking or jogging off the lactic acid and repeating for this for 10 times.
