## Description

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 running again. This app has voice cues that guide you even when your screen is locked. The app tells you when to run and walk and gives audio cues for distance and pace when you use GPS. You can use this app outside, on a track, or in the gym.

FEATURES
• Apple Watch app—you can leave your phone at home while you workout with our Watch app, or continue to use our Watch app together with the iPhone app.
• Speaks pace, distance, intervals, and halfway point. 
• Optionally uses GPS for pace and distance. (You can also use this app on a treadmill or indoor track without GPS.)
• Animated, spoken stretching programs.
• Tap out your heart rate on the heart icon.  
• Supports Bluetooth heart rate monitors.
• Integrates with the Health app.

ABOUT the WORKOUTS
• 13-week training program for beginners.
• Each workout ranges from 40 to 76 minutes long.
• Interval training alternates between jogging and walking.
• Workout intervals gradually become more challenging.
• Tapers in the last week for your 10k race.
• 5-minute warmup and 5-minute cooldown, which are optional.
• Speaks each jog and walk interval, the halfway mark, and 1-minute-left mark.
• Optionally speaks pace and distance information every mile or km.
• Automatically checks off each completed workout and records your date, pace, and distance. 

COMING FROM RUN 5K?
If you’ve completed our Run 5k app and you're feeling good, you can start on Week 4 or 5 of our Run 10k app to continue your training. If you’re a couch potato, start from Week 1, or check out our Run 5k app first.

AUDIO CUES and NOTIFICATIONS
If you’re not getting Notifications in the background, open the Settings app, select Notifications, then scroll down to find Run 10k in the list. Tap on Run 10k and turn on Notification Center, choose an alert style, and turn everything else on (Sound, Badge App Icon, Lock Screen). Check your volume and make sure your ringer switch is not set to silent/vibrate.

HEALTH
This app can be integrated with the Health app. Your weight set in the Health app can be used to calculate Calories burned during a workout, and the total Active Calories burned can be saved to Health app after each workout. Sharing this information to the Health app is optional.

GPS and LOCATION
To show distance and pace information, Run 10k can use GPS location tracking during a workout. For best results, use this app outside where you can see open sky. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

## Review summary

Users broadly praise the beginner-friendly training plan, built-in stretches, and an easy interface, plus solid Apple Watch integration. However, issues recur around watch reliability and battery drain, audio prompts not working when the screen is off, and tracking updates that occasionally regress mileage/pace data, along with limited manual input for treadmill workouts.

### Pros

- Realistic, beginner-friendly training plan that gradually builds toward a 10k.
- Built-in warm-up and cool-down stretches help prevent soreness.
- Strong Apple Watch integration and fitness syncing, with useful notifications.
- Simple, easy-to-use interface that keeps you on track.

### Cons

- Watch integration is unreliable: glitches, sometimes requires the iPhone nearby, and the watch can keep running or drain battery.
- Audio cues often require the screen to stay on (or be unlocked); prompts don’t work when the screen is off.
- Mileage/pace tracking can drop or stop after updates, making it hard to measure progress.
- Inability to manually adjust pace/distance for treadmill workouts.
