If you can run for an hour you can do 10k.
You need 🚨🚨IMPORTANT🚨🚨 an appropriate, fitted-by-a-pro pair of running shoes, not just some battered old Nikes. If you're lucky, and your feet aren't bent up like mine, a battered pair of old Nikes will actually do. But if you're a bad supinator or over-pronator, standard runners will hurt like f**k. If I tried running 10k in s**t trainers I'd end up with knees like watermelons.
Go to a decent running gear shop and get a gait test - they'll then tell you what sort of support you need.
Then just get out and run. Doesn't matter how long or how far, just run. Pause for a bit and walk if you like, then start running again. You'll soon build up some distance. If you bike every day, you'll have some fitness, which'll stand you in good stead. Just get out and run. S'easy. Left right left right repeat.
