C25K+ Speed

10 Replies

I’m finding the three 5K+ apps really helpful. Tried the Speed one this morning. It ended at the furthest distance I could be from home so ran through the warm down and beyond! It improved my average pace to 6.56 over 3.39 km so it worked!

Encouraged that experienced runners use them too.

Audiofuel who did the music also do some great stuff too. I used the Run Free ones ( that I had to buy from itunes) to get me to 10k and beyond. I liked them as they had coaching in them too.

Glad to hear that they're so good, as they're on my to-do list! I'm interested to read that the music helps you run faster. Plan to do the first one tomorrow morning, in fact the speed one. Then it'll probably be an enforced 'rest' for a few days, due to demands from small grandchildren and their parents. Looking forward to getting going again seriously in the new year, and finding new routes to run too.

I love these - they were really helpful after graduation and It use Speed and Stamina now - often as a sort of comfort blanket if I don't really feel like going out!
