I'd just echo calls for taking it easy on the pace while you're building up. Even without injury risks, if you're targeting a fast 10k time then a solid endurance base on well-trained running muscles is essential. Your cycling fitness will give you a nice head start on the cardio side of things, and some long, easy miles will get the legs more running-shaped.
BTW, I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion of carbon-plated shoes here amongst all the gear talk. I don't suppose anyone's had a chance to try either the Saucony Endorphin Speed or Pro have they? (Or both?)

Good points all, I'll take it slow and steady... or are these carbon kicks the silver bullet to speed-related pursuits?

Ive been doing speed work in the Endorphin Speeds over the last couple months. I haven’t tried the Pros, but will likely get a pair when racing resumes.
To my palate, they are less bouncy than the Nike equivalents, with a firmer toe-off. They are holding up well from a wear and tear perspective, which considering they feel very light is a massive pro. They are supportive enough that I have friends who even use them on their easy days. Would recommend. -
Have tried all the Nike ones, New Balance Fuel Cell, and Adidas adios adizero pro
1 - Alphafly
2 - Vaporfly/Adios
3 - FuelcellI also have the air zoom tempo Next% and they're horrid :(

A reasonable reaction certainly. But the physio actually recommended that I run as it builds strength and bone density in a way that cycling won't. I take your point that intensity and distance should be moderated though. I will temper my efforts...
