So far so good

Easy to use.
SShemTJoseph

Should offer an entire 5k run

I love the app for four days. But after that, you have to pay. It’d be nice to find an actual free couch to 5k app.

FAQ

What does the 10K Trainer app do?

The 10K Trainer app is designed to help beginners progress from a sedentary lifestyle to running a 10K distance in 14 weeks. It utilizes a structured program that alternates between walking and running intervals to gradually build stamina and strength, minimizing the risk of injury.

What are the key features of the 10K Trainer app?

Key features include a proven 14-week training plan, an audio coach that guides users through each workout, the ability to map runs, light and dark modes, and integration with the Health app. It also offers community forums for support and motivation.

How much does the 10K Trainer app cost?

The app offers a free first week, and then operates on a freemium model with in-app purchases. Users can access core features for free, with an optional 'Zen Unlimited Pass' subscription for premium features and music across all Zen Labs Fitness apps.

Is the 10K Trainer app suitable for absolute beginners?

Yes, the app is specifically designed for beginners and is described as the easiest program to get users from couch potatoes to 10K distance runners. The gradual walk/run approach is ideal for those starting their running journey.

Can I use this app if I've already completed a 5K?

Absolutely. If you have already graduated from a 5K program, you can skip ahead in the 10K Trainer app and pick up where a C25K® app would leave off. This allows for a seamless transition to longer distances.
