Newbie! Equivalent of the Laura app anyone??

[Joster]

I graduated (yey!) and I'm ready to consolidate and go to the next level. I am aiming for 10k with a view to doing a "proper" event in early July, so hope to have accomplished and consolidated at that distance by then.

Lovely Laura on C25K really saw me through, worked a treat, so is there anything similar for the next stage with a calm assuring voice taking you through the motions?

Grateful for any recommendations. Thank you.

There are B210K podcasts, not sure if Laura is on them.

[misswobble Graduate10]

Yes. Laura ! Couch to 5k+ Stepping Stones podcasts See sticky thread about it 😃👍

[Joster Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

Thanks - not seen podcasts so will look. So you run along to it then?

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to Joster]

I run them as they crop up on my MP3 player They are tough but very good. Folks find one bit of them too slow so write the lot of them off, rather conveniently 😁. Slow running is good for leg building as we all know 🙂 If you do them all you’ll find out that they do in fact get quicker I ran them thoroughly in random order. They bring your running on no end

Plus you get to keep running with the Lovely Laura 😃👍

[Joster Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

Thanks for the tip. How do you know what order to do them in? I have six podcasts, but don't know which is first and how long they are - not that familiar with podcasts so any tips gratefully received!

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to Joster]

Six? Stepping Stones with Laura was three podcasts. Maybe these are new? Die load and listen. You get told what to do and when, same as with C25k 👍

[Joster Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

Fab, have some downloaded now, so will start with the one at the top (presumably the first one!) - ah - have just noticed that stepping stones are two of them, speed are two and stamina are two. All with and without intro. Hence six. Makes sense now! I have Laura! Thank you. Trying it out this morning.

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to Joster]

Stepping Stones is first, then Stamina and then Speed. Stamina 😳

😁

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

When you’ve run those to death there’s our in-house Bridge to 10k plan called 10 is The Magic Number Sticky post to the right Ju Ju makes a little weekly film. Do check it out 🙂

After that it’s Bridge to 10 k podcasts, 5 weeks worth, with Sami Murphy. Coached sessions, free too, and hours of original tracks. I love these The tracks are chosen to inspire 😃

[Joster Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

Thanks so much - the audio of a voice and music is the only way I can do this - once my music "failed" and so did I, I need it to keep me going. Right, off for more Laura right now!

[Runningfit Graduate10]

The stamina and stepping stones with Laura are great.

(I do.a.kind of intervals with a preset programme.in gym so not done the speed!)

I am liking the Sami.murphy podcasts for.longer runs. I like being told what to do....tho she doesn t talk as much as Laura it s nice to hear a " good job " and I personally like the music choice.

[misswobble Graduate10]

Sami is kick ass brilliant isn't she 😁. The music is fab Well apart from a couple 🙂

[Jaylana]

I would like to know too. Loved the C25k app. Wonder if there is another one ?

[Granspeed Graduate10]

This is a really useful thread. Thanks, Joster, for eliciting it. 👍😄 I have the podcasts but hadn’t figured out what to do with them 🙄😂
