Endurance discipline · Open space
10 km run
10 km run is a endurance discipline in BYOH, trained with open space and building stamina and legs. Its ladder runs from 10 km in 90 min or less at Level 1 to 10 km in 40 min or less at Level 9, and Level 10 is the world record.
The ten levels
BYOH measures a discipline in ten cleared levels. Level 9 is a genuine feat; Level 10 is the standing world record, which is there to be looked at rather than reached.
10 km run starts at Level 1 with 10 km in 90 min or less. Level 5 asks for 10 km in 60 min or less, and Level 9 - the last level a person can train towards - 10 km in 40 min or less. The largest single jump is from Level 1 to Level 2, 10 km in 90 min or less to 10 km in 80 min or less.

| 1 | 10 km in 90 min or less |
| 2 | 10 km in 80 min or less |
| 3 | 10 km in 70 min or less |

The record past Level 9
10 km run — Provisional legend benchmark.
BYOH uses a provisional final gate until a comparable governed record format is selected. This is a provisional benchmark rather than a governed record.
How it is done
- Build distance gradually.
- Use a measured route and carry water when needed.
- Record elapsed time including pauses.
How the attempt is judged
A level only means something if two heroes clearing it have done the same thing. These are the rules BYOH counts an attempt by — they are the rules of a game, not coaching.
- What counts as one
- One continuous ten kilometres, timed from first movement to crossing the finish.
- The set
- A single effort. The clock runs through any pause you take, including walking.
- What you need
- A measured route that finishes at roughly the height it starts. Hand timing is fine.
- What ends it
- Stopping the clock, cutting the route, or a net downhill course does not count.
What it builds
10 km run feeds Stamina and Legs in a hero’s record, working cardiovascular, legs.
- Aerobic endurance
- Whole-body work capacity
- Calves
10 km run is one of 7 endurance disciplines. It shares its open space requirement with 1 other endurance discipline. Stamina is also built by rope jumping, burpees, mountain climbers and 3 more, and a broad attribute needs several of them rather than one taken far.
