OT: Recommend me a good C25K app

Post by lune ranger »

As per title.
Don’t need music or anything fancy just something to guide me through the stages.

Also, what’s a good mud running shoe. I’ve got plenty of slop round here.

I’m (re-) using the nhs choices couch to 5k podcast, so not an app as such combined with my garmin watch and before i got the watch, just combined with strava.

SALOMON Speedcross 4 GTX are the shoes I use for road and slop and have been very impressed.

I found the nhs app great, but have no other point of reference. Some of the support stuff online re stretching etc was also good. Sarah Millican talked me thru a lot of it :oops:

I've used Brooke's Cascadia (or caldera, I get the two confused, the older, toothier one anyhow) in some grotty conditions but never felt the need for true mud spikes. Inov8 Mudclaws get favorably mentioned by others. Salomons too narrow for me.

What? Is Dave's post a curve ball or do you plug those shoes in?

Ooh I missed that. Obviously too busy trying to work out what a C25K app is. .... I still don't know. :-bd

Downloaded that one. I’ll give it a try. Doing the programme with my kids. I’m usually on the side of only running if you’re being chased but as I’m carrying a bunch of extra weight just now it can only help.

Ah yes, I meant that one, not NHS.
