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.

Crashes
I payed money for this app but it keeps crashing and makes me lose all of my progress
Läuft nicht als Apple Watch Standalone
Als Apple Watch Neuling war ich so naiv zu glauben, dass eine 5k App, die angibt, auch auf der Watch zu laufen, tatsächlich auf der Watch läuft - und zwar OHNE dass ich mein Phone mit mir herumschleppen muss. Auf der Watch wird man dann auf Iphone verwiesen - danke! Dafür 3,49 Euro im Voraus bezahlt, lächerlich. Aber okay, you are welcome!
Great App! 👍🏼
Always hated running but much to my own surprise completed the 5k today for the first time!! 😍 Thank you!
Good motivation
Works good.
apple watch not workinh
i quite liked this last year and quite liked it. i started again and none of the apple wat h synch is working. so you cant leave ohone in your pocket and just run. the audio cues don't work half the time. im giving up and getting another one
Schlechte app
Zwischendurch kommen keine Ansagen zum "joggen" oder "walken". Sinn verfehlt
In der Theorie super...
...aber leider funktioniert die Sprachansage bei gesperrtem Bildschirm seit dem 2. Lauf nicht mehr! Ein Problem, das scheinbar viele haben. Dadurch ist der Spaß an der App extrem gemindert - sie ist für mich fast unbrauchbar. Ansonsten ist das Prinzip aber sehr gut - wenn die Probleme mit der Sprachansage behoben würden, gäbe es 5 Sterne!
Keine Empfehlung!
Habe mich, wegen GPS, zum Kauf verleiten lassen. Dann lieber kein GPS und das stabile — nachdem ich 3 andere Apps getestet habe, komme ich wieder darauf zurück: — Get Running! Zuverlässige Ansagen gibt es bei dieser App leider nicht… Plötzlich und unerwartet kommen keine Ansagen mehr, die eh sehr spärlich sind. So in keiner Weise zu gebrauchen! Schade…
Very nice and really helpful!!!
👍👍
