I'm at the very start of a new journey. What app are you all using? Loved my couch to 5k app! Wish they had a 10k one. Xxxx

The logical progression is using the familiar format C25k+ Stepping Stones. Not an app but podcasts and free to download here Tricky beggars but good for you, so do them!💪🏃‍♀️😃👍

Then, when you have run the SS podcasts inside out you will be ready for a change. Our in-house Programme is called 10 is The Magic Number, run by Ju-Ju. See her weekly video diary for details of what the programme’s about, apart from getting to 10k obvs 😁

I have installed a Zen Labs app. Going to try it first. Very gradual again. Carries on from couch to 5k nicely. So I am on week 9. Xxxx

Well done. Isn’t it a lovely feeling, a real sense of achievement. I used the Zen labs app. I’m now doing 60 minutes. I’m going to increase by 5 minutes every fortnight until I can run 10k. I’m not very fast.

Well done Sarahsnail, Don’t forget to consolidate for a few weeks at 30 mins before moving on to let your body get used to the 30 minutes running

There is no set right or wrong way to go once you graduate, congratulations on that 👏👏

Some consultation might be good just to get your body used to your new regime ..

Some use apps to get to 10K some add time or distance to a long run each week.. try a few things see what you like and go with that .. Good luck with all that you do 😀😀

Not what you're looking for?
