5K to 10K

I started from the couch to 5K and I loved that app. I would recommend it to anybody. I’m now pushing myself onto this sequel of an app. It seems that they really do have the occasional difficulty synchronizing Apple iTunes on a shuffle with the rest of my library. I had to stop the audio in the app and then go to iTunes to play my own music on shuffle. The problem was, I could hear the music but it didn’t shuffle and there were no audio cues. This needs to be fixed, however, it is a good training app. I’m really feeling the burn every time I do it but it’s not overwhelming me. I’ve gone from the couch and I’m now finished week 10 overall. Week one of this app. It’s been good and I plan to see it through

I don’t get how you went from such a great couch to 5km app to this. Everything worked flawlessly in the 5km app. The app looked great, the vocal cues works with Apple podcasts running and it was a pleasure to use. This app is a disaster. It looks like crap and for some reason I get no vocal cues if I want to run the podcast app in the background. Why fix what wasn’t broken? Shame on your developers.

A good next step to couch to 5k though more basic. Still good though!

I use couch to 5k and it work perfectly. But I do the same run with this app and it doesn’t show the same distance...what’s wrong with the GPS??

I want to like this app because I loved the Couch to 5k predecessor... but they haven't been clear on the difference between a jog and a run. Couch to 5k build you up to a point where you're jogging 30 minutes... and now, suddenly, on Day 2 of this new app I'm being directed to "run" for 30 minutes. What does that mean? On Day 1, I was told to run for jog for 10 minutes, run for 3 minutes, and jog for 10 minutes. I made it 2.5 minutes before I had to slow to a jog. So, what kind of jump is that? Am I supposed to jog a little harder? Or am I supposed to run like my house is on fire? What constitutes a difference between a jog and a run that is sustainable for 30 minutes straight? Perhaps I've been running this whole time and thought I was jogging, I just can't imagine going faster so soon when I've just become comfortable with a 30 minute "jog". Perhaps if the app recognized your typical jogging pace and encouraged you to hit a new benchmark by going 6mph instead of your usual 4mph, for example. That would help clarify what I'm supposed to do today, because frankly I'm stumped and don't want to burn out too soon.

I am coming off another app that helped me train for my first 5 km. What I liked about that app was that it had built in walk-run timing; this app doesn't. However it does tell you when you've hit the halfway point of your runs or when you're changing tempo. It also has 3 different trainers, but they don't talk as much as other apps. I do like that this app is connected with many runs in your area - I registered for my 10 km run and it downloaded to my app. I'd recommend this app for those who already have a pretty good base and are just looking for a little structure.

This apps motivate me, I don't like that they separated Couch-to-5k and 5k-to-10k into 2 apps to make us pay twice though.

This is perfect in many ways. It ties into GPS, music and times the cues for you. There is no extra thought that needs to go into your run - I.E. No need to measure routes for distances. I started the couch to 5 k very out of shape and feel really good doing the 5-10k. I don't think I could have done it without this program's gentle progression!

I completed the Couch-to-5K app and was looking for a new goal. This app has great workouts that gradually increase distance/time. All audio cues cut through music/podcasts perfectly. Love using this and look forward to running a 10K race.

Only got this app so I could hear the prompts as I run and can't get it to work!!
