Bridge to 10K

Well I did it. I finished the couch to 5k and today was my last day of bridge to 10k. I ran...5.24 miles. It’s a great app for getting me to run longer, but I’m still almost a mile off my goal. I, and I believe most beginners, can’t run a 9:39 mile. I wish the app had some extra workout weeks for the slow runners out there or suggestions on how to run that pace.

This app is extremely quirky and does not work well. If you want audio updates during your workout, this will not give them to you. I tried several variations of settings and the only updates I could get was every 10 minutes and that was only if you leave the app unlocked and in the foreground the entire time. Allowing the app to "auto lock" shuts off the audio updates even if it stays in the foreground. If you switch away from the screen at all, you will not get updates. Also the calculations are incorrect. It said my fastest mile was slower than my average which is mathematically impossible. I worked with tech support for about a week to make it work to no avail.

I was so sad when I started using this app again because I used to LOVE it. With this version, the GPS is ALL over the place! Walking down a side walk for 15 seconds and it says I went backwards then crossed the street twice. With the GPS so unreliable, the only accurate journal stat is the time. So disappointing. Also, the voice notifications are very hit or miss. Sometimes they tell you to walk, sometimes they don't. I have to keep my phone out to watch the screen which I really don't love. Minutes pass much slower when you have to watch them go by...

I never write reviews but I love this app so much i had to share! I'm a mom with a child that has special health concerns so my workouts times and days HAVE to be flexible ( even more so than the regular moms) since we may end up in the Hospital with him without notice most apps I've tried have a race goal and doesn't allow flexibility in changing day or missing a week. Plus this app is great for the current runner that is trying to improve on time. I have already completed a 10k but didn't train with any structure for those teo. All other programs seemed to be very inflexible ( you set race day and no way to change schedule for missed days or move to another days etc) or it was too basic for anyone already running. This bridge to 10k app has already helped me cut 3 minutes off my 5k time with hopes of doing even better for my 10k race coming up in 2 months. I didn't initially purchase the gps at first because I had a great running watch however after just one run i added it and loved it for the mapping and tracking it does so seamlessly with the app. It also works great with my iTunes playlist too! Now if only they had a bridge to half marathon app to help me improve on that race too!

I like the actual exercise plan but the app is kind of dull and it annoys the heck out of me that it wants location always on for the app.
