In relativity, the speed of light is the only constant speed; therefore, in which reference frame are you going at e.g. 10c?

Perhaps the CMB is the preferred frame of reference for all motion and this problem has a trivial solution (I am not a physicist), but everyone I’ve seen explain relativity starts with “there is no preferred frame”, and the rest follows.
