Run 10k

Run 10k

       iOS iPhone

Run 10km (6.2 miles) with this simple series of interval workouts designed to gradually build your endurance. The Run 10k app is perfect for beginner runners and former runners who want to start up running again. This app keeps track of your workout progress and has built-in voice prompts to coach you through each workout.

The program follows a 3-days-a-week workout schedule over 13 weeks, alternating walking and running intervals for each workout.

If you're not sure about a 10k or would like to start with a 5k, you can train first with our Run 5k app and then switch to Run 10k when you're done. Start around Week 5 in the app to continue your training.

Run 10k was created by Lucius Kwok and Kasten Searles. Made in NYC.
