Customer Feedback:
"The popular Couch to 5K app helps new runners avoid injury from doing too much, too soon."
—Runners World, June 2012
"It's ridiculously easy to use (it's hard not to, as you just do what you're told) and it's fantastic that you have an encouraging voice talking you through things."
—Engadget, June 2012
"Active.com’s Couch to 5K is one of my favorite… apps. With its customizable features, interactivity, and well-rounded interface, I may actually stay off the couch this time."
—148Apps, October 2011
"I knew as soon as I decided to start the Couch to 5K program that I would need something to keep me accountable—not just to showing up for my training, but to actually doing it properly. Of course there’s an app for that."
—CalorieLab, April 2012
"If you have been struggling to get your buns off the couch and somewhat in shape before the summer hits, training for a 5K is not a bad way to start. If you are looking for a program to help get you there, then the “Couch to 5K” running plan by CoolRunning is probably your best bet if you haven’t done an ounce of athletic activity for a number of years."
—Droid Life, April 2012

Note:
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
The Couch to 5K coach you select talks to you during your workouts. To save your battery, Couch to 5K sends audio notifications when your screen is locked or another app is in use.
To be sure you hear the coach during your workout, please do the following:
• Turn on Notifications permissions
• Turn on the hardware ring/silent switch (no red showing)
• Turn your ringer volume up
• Turn off Do Not Disturb (swipe up for Control Panel and the moon button should not be white)
• Within the app, in Settings > Workout Options, be sure the Trainer Volume is up
Without granting notification permissions, during a workout you can click the lock icon at the top left to keep the app active and still hear the coach.
For support please contact us at: [email protected] We would love to hear from you.
Once you purchase the app, it is yours to keep. It does not expire after 9 weeks.

Great app! Needs watch standalone capability!

Great app, but having to carry my phone is reason for star removed.

Really good, but not great.

B Whitey on

United States

As a former fitness professional who is returning to running after injury, this app does a great job of progressing someone from potato to runner … until week five that is. The jump is too much that week. I find it odd how the app makes incremental increases for the first four weeks but then in week five has you going from two 8s with a 5 minute walk to one 20 minute run. That’s a heck of a jump. Also, a three or five second countdown to begin the next interval would be a great improvement.

Great motivational running app!

I use this app to get myself to run. Hard to get myself started without the app, but with it, I am excited to go because it paces me.

This app saved my life.

A. Guest on

United States

It's taken me more than 10 years of on/off starts to become proficient at jogging. I was just about as atrophied and out of shape as you could be. In fact, I've never really worked out or dieted in my whole life, with the results you might expect, but this app has always patiently been there to help me get back on the horse. With just this app and 75 Hard I managed to lose 60 lbs -- 260 down to 200, in 5 months. Got off a bunch of meds, new clothes, new life. Either you want it or you don't. Andy Frisella's right. No excuses. Accept accountability and change if and when you want!

Great way for me to exercise and get a workout also amazing training I 100% recommend

You need to bring your phone with you..

Seb94p on

United States

I was hoping to be able to just load this app onto my Apple watch and use that on it’s own, like many other running apps let you do, but you have to bring your phone with you on the run. Misleading information on that aspect. While the prompts are helpful, trying to sign in to get a workout started is glitchy and frustrating. Wish I could get my money back honestly.

Love the app but hard to run with friends

Graciani.p139 on

United States

Have loved using the app but unable to follow friends and them follow me for accountability. I am training with a friend to do a half marathon in November.

Inconvenient for logging runs

Candlesan on

United States

This app is fine for the 5K training but after when you just want to log runs it’s really inconvenient. Every time you run you have to go through multiple annoying menus just to start a run. Decline to let it access your music library. Choose a trainer. Confirm the trainer. Start the run. HUGE pain. For free training try it but after that there are better apps.

overall I love

c.gwin1020 on

United States

I was super skeptical about buying this app, i’m not a runner and haven’t been in over 6 years so I wasn’t sure if this app was going to be good for me. But you set your goals, your weight and how often you want to run and it’s been perfect! You can even pick your trainer (I love runicorn). Overall it was a great buy, the only thing I wish it that it was more encouraging throughout the workout, especially while you on the jogging parts like “keep pushing”, “you got this” etc. because sometimes you’re tired and you want to be done and a little push is what you need. Overall I would recommend to my friends and definitely anyone that wants to start running from scratch, I know I am.

Love the App and the program!

Avicennia on

United States

I admittedly been using this program for over 10 years. When I fall out of running and use this to resume my work out routine. This app makes it so easy. Because of this app I’ve been successful. The coaches provide the encouragement I need also. I all have to focus on is moving. Before I had use timers and constantly look at my watch or phone depending on the era LOL.
