How should I approach training for a 10k. I do a few weights at home so I am not dead unfit. friend has asked me to do one and it is in about a months time.
I don't need to set a record, just get to the end.

Re: Training plan for 10K
Start walking at a brisk pace, for 2 minutes 50 seconds, then jog for 10 seconds and repeat for about 30 minutes.
Do this 5 times a week, making sure you split the off days, so you have it a bit like this.
Day 1. Training
Day 2. Training
Day 3. Training
Day 4. Day off
Day 5. Training
Day 6. Training
Day 7. Day off
This stops you having 2 days off back to back, eating into improvement and helping to stem possible overdoing it.
Do this for a week on the prescribed days.
In week 2, increase the jogging parts to 20 seconds and brisk walking sections to down to 2 minutes 40 seconds.
Week 3, increase the Jogging sections to 30 seconds, and the walking sections down to 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
You should be able to see a pattern emerge.
This might be something for you to consider as an option.
