What is a good 10K app?

I have started using the Zen Labs 10K app.

However, I am keen to know what is the general consensus.

Done 2 days of week 9 of the Zen Labs 10K app so far :-)

is that the 14 week programme?? If so it looks to me like a combination of C25K and B210K - run one after the other - or something close to that.

Many people have done the B210k - although strangley thay often seem to 'struggle" returning to 10 minute intervals after finally being able to run for 30 minutes non-stop with C25k. I don't know why but suspect it is because they become too confident after completing C25k and try to run too fast when starting the B210K programme. The same thing applies for the 10K programme as for the 5K programme - ie do it as slowly as you possibly can UNTIL to have completed the programme - in the case of B210K, it takes you to being able to run non-stop for 60 minutes ( which for most of us will not be 10K , just as 30 minutes did not get us to 5K ):)

As far as I can see, all of the 10 KM plans seem to be much the same, so I guess it's a question of which music you like. I have 2 on my phone, Sami Murphy which I like a lot, and Bluefin (I think it's called) where I didn't like the music much. It seems to me that graduates can already run 30 mins non stop, and what is needed is to bridge the gap from 30 to 60 minutes. None of the plans do that as far as I can see. I just increased my distance a little each week, sticking more or less to the 10% rule, and ran 10 KM a few months after graduating. Bazza is right, these plans are to get you to 60 mins, not 10 KM, I still can't run anywhere near that fast over 10 KM.
