What next?

I finished 2 days ago! And what a great feeling to know I can run for 30 minutes. But I do like my app with Jo Wiley telling I’m half way through etc. I’d like to keep up the running and wondering if there are other apps that people use to encourage you?

Congrats! I have been doing 30 min runs/5k since graduating and start Ju-ju’s 10K plan next week. You could keep repeating week 9 with Jo to keep you on track. Enjoy. 😬

Congratulations well done 👍🥇👨‍🎓🎉🏃‍♀️🏃

You could keep jo to keep doing the 30 minute runs for now, just so you've got that extra support. It's just a case of repeating the runs like consolidation runs after graduation 😉

You could download strava and/or Runkeeper they basically talk to you to say when you've done 10 minute intervals etc (you set the interval announcements times) and how many miles/k's you've done

Thanks. I’ve got a version of Strava but I didn’t know it did that, so I’ll investigate!

With strava

You can set to audio on each kilometre or miles you chose.

Runkeeper does the audio on the amount of minutes you set it to and on the mile/k's you set it to

Is that in the freebie version or premium?

Free version

How do you do that? 🤔It currently tells me after each KM reached with stats for that split.

Kar43 in reply toRipcurlrana71

I think it's Runkeeper that also does audio on k's and on say 10 minute intervals not strava sorry

Runkeeper is good. You can even choose the 'voice"! I set mine to tell me when 5 minute intervals have passed and every km. Worked really well on my first post grad run. Also did a little map - I do like that! And did pace per km and speed if you want it. I'm going to turn speed off. I know I'm slow!!

I didn't know you could chose the voice ooh I'll seek this now 😉

I've been on 10 minute audio and each k. I think now we've graduated I'll try 15 min audio

I was only using the default audio now change to drill instructor 😉😁

Ha Ha! I use the my conscience one! It tells me I'm running like a gazelle! Or it tells me I'm running like I'm being chased by a bear or other daft things. It breaks up the run!

Oh now that sounds like fun 😁😊I could just imagine running my local lake at my very slow pace and hearing that 😂 with runners running thinking WHAT at that pace! I have to have it 😂🏃‍♀️

Love that idea. I’m going to find that. I did always like Jo Wiley telling me I was doing well!!
