Because if you cannot manage to run a mile in 6:20 you probably aren't realistically capable of running a 45:00 10K with just 12 weeks training (or whatever their schedules work out to). I find the Lawrence & Scheid guidelines to be fairly appropriate. I'm not enamored of their schedules, but that's perhaps just a personal preference.
