So while Couch to 5K may be eight years old, it does seem as though our current, isolated situations are leading to a rise in audio-led fitness with virtual encouragement. It’s one thing to use that to get you through a training session, but what about recreating an entire race through the airwaves? That is what the most popular half marathon event in the country decided to do this year.in Newcastle, the event was ready to be cancelled.
Using the platform viRace, participants will be able to go ahead with the biggest half marathon event in the country, and feel like they’re there. “The idea is that everyone will start at the same time, and it will feel as though they are running along with the other runners and the crowds,” explains Catherine.
And it’s not just running that is jumping on the trend. While Zoom PT sessions and Instagram Live workout videos worked a treat to inspire us when we trained from home, they’re not easy to translate onto the gym floor.

But for many, it can draw extra attention to the fact that they are a newbie.
Really, it’s no surprise that virtual training is booming right now. But using audio exclusively seems to be a fresh, accessible take on the world of fitness.
