I'm after a 10k guided training app that is similar in nature to C25K.

There appear to be a fair few to choose from however most have not so encouraging reviews.

I havnt run for a month now and am considering starting from the beginning to work through to complete 10k.

Any recommendations gratefully received.

If you go over to the Bridge to 10K forum here, there's the Magic Plan. It's not an app but a set of runs spread of varying lengths spread over 8 weeks.

I found that the Magic Plan worked brilliantly. The difficulty with any guided audio app for 10k is that pace is different for everyone. I'm not a fan of coached runs anyway though, haven't used one since completing C25K.

If you've not run for a month it'd be a good idea to go out and see what you can manage, taking it easy, before embarking on a programme to get to 10k.

So JuJu’s magic plan does work, but if you are after someone to encourage you whilst your out there running the roads/trails, then you could give the Nike Run Club a go. The app is totally free, it does have a 10k programme, that wants you to run 5 times a week - which of course, you do not need to do. The good thing about these runs are they are all guided, a mix of intervals/speed runs (that are fun to do… especially when you’re giving it all to run like you did as a kid for 15 seconds as fast as your legs will go) and more relaxed recovery runs that are either distance or time based. I followed the plan for the HM earlier this year, and would not be without Coach Bennett’s encouragement and positivity. There is a brilliant 45 minute guided run with Paula Radcliffe telling her story. You also have the choice to listen to their music, or use your own sounds. Good Luck 🤞 You will smash this 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

This one is ok. I followed Ju Ju’s magic plan but a friend used this and liked it. It’s free too so can have a good look at it before using.
