Which app

[Frostycat2]

I have completed c25k but I'm probably a bit daft but how or which is the best app to use thanks

See my reply to you on your c25k post about the treadmill disaster.

Here is the Sammi link

healthunlocked.com/api/redi...

Please just do one of these a week and only after you have cosolidated your 30 min run two/three times a week for a few weeks.

Got it thank you xx

Hey! I used none, tbh. I first practised 5K until I felt comfortable, then built up stamina by starting interval/tempo runs and then simply started to increase my weekly km total by 10% during the third run. For example, if you run 3 x 5km this week, one of the next week runs will be 6.5km, the week later the same run will hit 8.15km, and before you know it, you hit 10km.

In order to calculate my interval/tempo times I used Training Pace Calculator posted by IannodaTruffe

runnersworld.co.uk/rws-trai...

It's easier than most of us thought

Enjoy!

Thank you xx

Ju-ju has worked out a 10k program you can find it in the pinned posts on this site. It involves 3 different length runs a week for 6 weeks...BUT you should consolidate first.x

Hi Frostycat - nice to see you on the B210K forum! I'm also happy to see a link to the Sammi podcasts (thanks JNR) - I hadn't found them. I'm sticking with C25K week 9 for a couple of weeks then will give this a try.

[Frostycat2 Graduate10 in reply to unlikelyrunner]

Hi , I'm sticking with wk 9 runs the same as you for a few weeks then hopefully give this a go keep in touch we can compare notes xx

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10]

You have had the advice.. consolidate those runs first and try the C25K + podcasts too...10 K needs work

[Frostycat2 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

I will , will look at podcasts but will be doing wk 9 for a good few weeks yet as I want to get to 5 k first xx

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Frostycat2]

The podcasts may actually help with that... Stamina particularly is good

( My favourite actually )

[Frostycat2 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Is that the NHS speed and stamina one xx

[Frostycat2 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you found it and downloaded xx

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Frostycat2]

Go you... Stepping Stones is the first, then the others.. I did each on three times..over three weeks...( had to see how they affected my running..) Stepping Stones, I found weird.. ( Like Marmite.. you either love it... )

Speed. is great.. when you are a bit further on... you can use it to help with your pace,( Many of us use it on its own or within a longer run... or if you are short of time Stamina is great.. on its own or again, within a longer run.. I often use it like that

Thing is..just build up over a couple of weeks.. try Intervals or Strides ..walk/runs. long ans short.. and those 30 minute runs too... there is so much fun to be had.. all helping to build up all you need for running..

[Frostycat2 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you so much have downloaded stamina didn't get on with stepping stone but perhaps a bit to advanced for me at moment will try and add one in between a normal wk 9 run until I have had more practice ❤️

Hi guys.

I also graduated a few weeks ago and have been repeating wk9 r3 for the last 3 weeks.

So far I have increased my distance, and my breathing (which is something I wanted to work on) , has improved immensely.

I'm also going to stick with the 5k for a while then try the podcasts. I'm not planning to tackle 10k until next year.

I think my 57 year old legs & lungs need to get used to the fact that they have recently become a runner before taking on a bigger challenge!🏃👵🏼🏃👵🏼🏃👵🏼

[Frostycat2 Graduate10 in reply to Bestcat]

Congratulations on graduation !!! That's what I'm aiming for as well would love to do the full 5 k in the 30 mins first then set another challenge xx

[Bestcat in reply to Frostycat2]

Our wise mentors keep saying that slow is the way to go & I'm doing just that - I'm in no hurry !

I'm just so pleased I can keep going & the big surprise of all is how much I enjoy it!

Happy Running!🏃‍♀️

[Frostycat2 Graduate10 in reply to Bestcat]

So true and I'm actually looking forward to my run in the morning 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️which I never thought I would ever utter those words x

[Bestcat]

Me too! Can't wait to run tomorrow!

(I'm starting to think I must have been taken over by aliens or something as I enjoy it so much!!!)

👽🏃👽🏃😱

[Frostycat2 Graduate10 in reply to Bestcat]

Love it I think they got us both 🤣🤣🤣
