Hello everyone! and a question about apps

Hello everyone,

I started C25K in May and graduated end of August, I had never ever run before and did not think I would manage, but here I am. Since then, I have run regularly but without goals, I have actually been backwards and have found that I didn't complete 30' runs without stopping - so I have decided to set myself a new goal which is to run 10k. Argh!

I am aware of JuJu's plan but I am after an apps to help me with the training. I have only found 1 called 5k to 10k on Itunes, it looks ok to me but I wanted to ask if there is any recommendation you may make? I couldn't find an apps from the NHS with Laura for example.

also the apps I downloaded alternates tempo run with steady run and jogs. I have never heard of this, and assume this is the right way?

Thank you very much

Muriel

I am also chasing an app, so I hope someone knows one that is free.

After C25K there are consolidation runs. You sound you did them, already.

Then C25K+. You can download the podcasts from the NHS site.

Then Bridge to 10k. I have not found an app. I am doing that without an application. I am in week 1.

The plan for the first week is

5min walk,

10min run & 1 Mon walk

4 times

5min walk.

I can;t find C25k+ on any app or NHS website. Only the couch to 5k

Great!

These are only podcasts, not an app.

For coaching, Nike Run Club’s guided runs are hard to beat. As 5-10k plans go, the magic plan here is excellent. The two are compatible as the guided runs come in both time and distance varieties... if there’s no run of the right distance there’s one at roughly the right time for you.

Ju-ju-‘s plan also works nicely with any tracker that can keep you updated for time/distance as you go and will tell you when you’ve reached your goal... the best ones will also tell you the half way point, which is cool on an out and back.

Personally, I don’t have the time for 3 10k runs a week, which is where most apps go. I’m training for HM, but only need one long run a week, so it all fits much easier.

What is the app you found for '5 to 10'? Thanks.

Hi Elisabeth - it's called 5 to 10k and the developer is Active network and it's free. if you go on your apps store on iTunes and type '5 to 10k app' it should come up. I am starting tomorrow so will report on performance. Hope this helps

Thanks a lot. I will check it.

I hope your first run was great. 🙋🏃

Hi Elisabeth, first run was good. Funny what a goal does to you as I didn't stop once!

The apps is really great but there were no voice cues which means I was checking the time on screen from time to time. It may be because my strava was on as well as my music, because I think there should be voice cues. I will check. But overall I recommend the apps. Let me know how you get on.
