audio for 10K?

[Gmhmd1]

Hi. I've been jogging along for about 15 months since completing C25K. Sometimes less than 5K, but mainly around that or a little more. 6K is the most. I use Strava so I know how far/fast I'm going. Is there an audio plan to get to 10K along the lines of Ju-Ju's magic plan?

There might be something on the Nike Run Club app, which I have no experience of.

I just listen to podcasts when running and use my watch to prompt me.

Yes thanks. I listen to podcasts

If it's a structured plan that you are looking for then why not try out ju-ju- Magic Plan. One that will get you running 10k and another for 60 Minutes.

Thanks. I’ve printed it out. Can’t always do 3 runs a week. I’ll have another go.

[drun in reply to Gmhmd1]

I didn't follow this plan myself I just ran when I could and gradually increased my distance. You'll find what works best for you.👍

I'm not aware of a 10k audio guided plan .Most here that use a plan use Ju ju's

The NRC app just has guided 10k runs , not 10k training plans

Thanks. Wonder if there’s a market for 5210K ?

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Gmhmd1]

Well I've heard a few ask

[nowster Graduate10 in reply to Gmhmd1]

It would be relatively straightforward to do something audio-based for 30 mins to 60 minutes, but doing something distance based would be a lot more difficult.

The C25K app actually uses audio files it plays continuously in the background during a session for the spoken instructions. They're mostly silence. It has instructions to tell the phone to dip other audio sources at certain points when the instructor is speaking.

I forget whether Strava can announce distances as you do runs.

[Cmoi Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

Exactly what I was going to say nowster - unless the app is also measuring distance, it can't know how far someone's run, and therefore can't adjust the audio cues.

Btw you can set Strava to announce distances.

There’s an app on the Apple App Store. I’m assuming it’s available for Android too. It’s free.

5k to 10k app

[Gmhmd1 Graduate10 in reply to Frizzbomb67]

I've been using this app for about 8 weeks, almost keeping up to the plan. I've got to 7K and 50mins. Really pleased. The runs are varied and I now know the difference between jogging, steady run and tempo run! I'm really feeling the difference too - hills are now inclines 😁

[Frizzbomb67 Graduate10 in reply to Gmhmd1]

I’m glad you have found it useful 😊When you’ve finished that one you can pick up the Nike Run Club (NRC) app and start the half marathon plan 😂

I love a plan too. Well done 👏🏻👏🏻

[Gmhmd1 Graduate10]

Great. Thanks, I’ll have a look

[Cmoi Graduate10]

Gmhmd1 , as mentioned in my reply to nowster , you can set Strava to announce distances as you run. I just used that, in conjunction with the Magic Plan, to get to 10k.

I used an app that I found on Google Play store. It's by ZenLabs, just called 10k trainer I think. As I recall it gives you audio prompts, and there's an option to start from week 9 if you're a C25K graduate, rather than from the beginning. I liked it.
