Running podcasts for C25K graduates

Each 5K+ podcast provides a structured run with running music and coaching to develop your running technique, speed and stamina.

The podcasts were produced with sports music experts AudioFuel, who specialise in music to help you run faster and for longer.

The music has a beat to match and drive your stride when you run to increase your performance and make your running easier.

Research shows listening to music while exercising can also reduce your feeling of effort and tiredness by up to 12%.

As a Couch to 5K graduate, you may be missing the structure of the programme and your routine of three runs a week.

The 5K+ series is designed to motivate you to keep running regularly and develop your running ability further.
