Easy 10K - Run/Walk/Run Beginner and Advanced Training Plans from 5K to 10K with Jeff Galloway App Reviews

Love this app. The beat sync tech is amazing at helping you keep up your pace.

**Update after re-reading myself: Although it may appear so given my raving review, I am NOT associated in any way with Lolo. Just to make thongs clear.** I just enrolled for a marathon, scheduled to take place in May, 2013. Jeff Galloways training method seemed appropriate on the long run (pun intended), so I started looking at Lolos Marathon app, but found it a bit pricey, for something I knew nothing about, appwise. After writing to Lolos team, and many emails back and forth, I followed Chris recommendation and bought the 10K app. I just love it. Galloways tips get in my ears right on time, not too often, not too rarely, and his voice is actually quite soothing, not annoying like I feared. Getting a real voice telling me when to start running, instead of a computerized one, is a nice change. If you know Galloway and like his training method, youll find exactly what youre looking for in terms of a training program. If you dont like the run-walk-run method, you can still enjoy this app, since there is an option to set your pace at “Just run!”, and even one to shut up Galloway himself, while still benefiting from the other features of the app. And the music... Wow. Having my songs accelerate and still sound like the real thing when I run, and decelerate when I walk, still sounding just perfect, is simply amazing, and very stimulating. That alone is worth $3.99. Perfect? Nothing is. The interface takes a few minutes to get used to, and the app doesnt (yet) support my Wahoo sensors (hence a missing star). Some people have complained about the music starting when the app launches, but I know a new release is coming soon, and that this will be changed, so Ill not complain about this small issue, only mentionning it here to show that Lolo listens to their customers, and THAT is a nice thing (and too rare in the app world). After my first tryout, I again had some email exchanges with Chris, from Lolo, discussing the app. I was left very impressed by the great support Lolo offers. After I finish my Easy 10K training with Jeff Galloway, I will most definitely buy the Marathon app, even at its current price ($19.99 at the time I wrote this review). Thanks, Lolo!

Looks good, sounds good, but killed my battery on my first run with it after only 5km!! How could it ever get me to 10km?!?!? Nice try. I really wanted a good interval timer and this was looking promising. I would rate it higher based on the potential of the actual program, but whats the point when the phone is dead. And you cant manually edit workouts on the website- another lame point. Sad waste of $4.

I use this app in combination with 2 others. Wish there was just a run-walk app without the training program as I use a different program. This update vastly improved the battery usage, finally didnt have to charge my phone while on a 10 mile run.

Great value, love that gives a treadmill conversion option. Only down side is wish you could add notes such as time of day, how youre feeling, etc and way to note other workouts that would sent it over the top to allow for one app to review training in. Would definitely recommend for newbies or experienced runners.

Excellent app for running. Im waiting for update for new iOS. Now every training time I have to setup all preferences.

... I cannot select Metric in "10k Pace" section!

I am a huge fan of Jeff Galloway and have read several of his books. I bought this application with the expectation of making my running easier by having his methodology already set for my ipod. Day three of week 1 consisted of a one hour with not always clear or consistent prompts, at times it would say "lets get ready for a 3 minute run" and then extend it for longer than that. Also I was a bit surprised that Week 1 consisted of two 24 min workouts and then on day 3 jump to an hour; it felt like a lot - not gradual at all. I think the app is buggy and /or inconsistent. It seems safer to just train for a 10K using any of his training programs from his books, knowing what each day of training will consist on; instead of having an unpleasant surprise like this. I still fully recomend Jeff Galloway and his method; just not at all this application.

I moved to a new city and consequently away from a great Galloway group I met with :(. Theres no groups near my new location. I was sooo excited to find this app and Im very pleased with it! My only complaint is that theres no half marathon or marathon one available yet! I hope to see one soon!

The app worked fine the first two runs and then crashed on the 3rd. I had to power off my iPhone twice before it finally came powered on. By that time I used my Garmin watch for the run. Unfortunately, since the app crashed my phone I was unable to use it the iPod feature.

I love this app! Hoping for a 1/2 and full marathon version to go with it. Thank you so much Jeff Galloway for helping me become a runner.

I just finished my 1st 1/2 marathon. I worked hard for 13 weeks and reached my goal.

I have been a runner for over 30 years and wanted to love this app but Ive used the app twice with an iPhone 4 and both times distance and pace were both over stated...I like the coaching from Jeff, but I guess Ill go back to RK until these problems are fixed.

This is as close to running with Jeff Galloway by your side as you can get. If you set the correct pace and Run-Walk-Run ratios, there really isnt any excuse why you cant run farther and faster than you ever have before (unless you are already a sub 2:30 marathoner). This app can even get you well on your way into Jeff Galloways marathon training. The previous reviewer stated that the pace and distance was over estimated in the app. Unless you are using it in a GPS enabled device, the actual pace and distance are just estimates. No two people have the same stride length and turnover rate. I run this app on my iPod Touch and keep track of the GPS data on my iPhone with Sport Tracker. The only problem that I have with this app is that I am to the point that I need them to finish the Jeff Galloway half and full marathon apps so I dont have to keep scrubbing back to an earlier point in the workout to extend the time (which is pretty easy to do) since my long runs are out past the maximum 10k distances. If you love running to your own music, with tempos matched to your running pace, then this app is for you! Add Jeffs own voice urging you on, and you have a combination that will keep you out on the road longer, and with a smile on your face!

This is the best app for 10K training. Ive downloaded others and they were a waste of money. Since Ive been using the app I ran a 5K, 10K and 1/2 marathon for the first time in my life! I cant wait for a 1/2 marathon and marathon app. My goal is to run a marathon by the end of 2012 and I know I can do it using Jeffs run/walk/run training. Thank you Jeff for all you do to help us train and run without injury!

I love this app alot, I really do. The only thing I would like to see, is an app like this that automatically changes the run/walk ratio. Most 5 or 10k apps change the ratio per week, but this app leaves that in the users hands. If this was the case, then it would be the next best thing to having a running coach right there.

I have downloaded both the 5k and the 10k app and I am very happy with both of them! Love how the music tempo adjusts to the run/walk intervals. I have just got back into running after hip surgery so the intervals have been wonderful! I started with the 5k and now I have started the 10k. Ill be training for a 1/2 soon and I was hoping that there will be a 1/2 app! The only thing that would make this app better is to have the app adjust the interval times because I seem to be stuck but can probably start to push the intervals! Thank you!

So still loving this app. Just want to keep begging for a half marathon app!!!! Please!!!! :)

I had this app on an older iPhone and that it was crashing because the iPhone was old... Just tried to use it on a 4S and it still crashed. Ive had this problem with the 5k version too. Love the app, but it has to actually work!

Mine will open up for about 3 seconds and then close. Doesnt work. Dont waste your money. I liked it when it worked but i havent been able to use it for a week now. Dont charge for something that doesnt work.
