Good app to bridge 5k to 10k?

The couch to 5k app was so, so good ... but having started to run 6k, am thinking that 10k could be a good target. Is there an app similar to C25K for 10k? I have tried Nike Running Club ... too rah, rah, rah for me. Need something calm and simple that will work with my own music/radio. I use Runkeeper for free just to monitor mileage but I think it sometimes isn't accurate due to fluctuating GPS signal round here. Thanks for any help ... Happy New Year!

There is a Bridge to 10k on the Podcasts, by Bluefin Software. It takes 6 weeks from 5-10k...Running 3 times a week.. with Music. It’s not quite the same as C25k but you get updates “ you have been running for 5 mins... you have 5 mins left etc”.

Sorry I’ve just realised they are only on Apple

But after googling I found you can download them on Google play music??? Whatever that is ?

There is Juju’s Magic Plan on Bridge to 10k which is very helpful to follow

Hi,I used JuJu magic plan in conjunction with NRC. Select run then set to the time or distance I wanted to run according to JJMP.

Basically NRC gave me Kilometre notification and told me when I'd finished.Free to listen to my own music.

Happy running whatever you decide to do

Nike run club app combined with Juju's magic plan as suggested above. I find the NRC app brilliant for motivation , helping to build speed and stamina and it's fun too!! 😆🏃‍♀️
