Couch to 5K Runner

Used it to regain my running distance once again. Easy to use. However the running feedback happens less frequently and is similar all the time. No customisation based on your current running progress. The app would be very helpful if it did not abruptly stopped at 5 k but helped users better their 5k running time by giving more customised runs and evaluating the progress. I would have paid additional for that. Like many others I also don’t want to run up to 10k but would rather enjoy my 5k runs.

All i can say is thanks

Awesome App !

Great app. Really helping me workout

Apps are so greedy and exploitive nowadays. Makes you go through the motions, signing up, etc. before telling you it’s a paid subscription only. Who the heck would pay that much monthly. Unreal.

I downloaded the app but it will not “start” unless I upgrade to the “Pro” version.

And I’m not afraid to admit that sometimes I did this as I approached my apartment at 4 in the morning, (after partying all night) and saw people running in my neighborhood. I couldn’t fathom the idea that someone would run rather than “have fun”. It wasn’t until I had exhausted every single weight-loss tool,and almost suffocated during a leisurely hike with friends in Colorado, that I turned to running. At the time I was 305 pounds, so the idea of running was not only daunting, but felt impossible. During my first run, which was automatically set to intervals of 30s to 1m, I could barely complete it. I could barely breathe. I was in pain. I think physically and emotionally. But with the features of this app like sound-cues, the way it lowers the music to give you a queue or guide or board of encouragement, but then racist the sound back up so you can run to your favorite running music, and other encouraging features you’ll discover…I did it. I overcame. And to my astonishment, I not only returned for more that week, but later down the road as I achieved some milestones, I began to look forward to my runs. To actually miss them when I skipped one. I know, insane! Today I am 260 pounds and successfully completed the app cycle by running for 5K. If you asked me a year ago, if I thought I would be running for 5K for so many minutes straight [after not being able to run for 30 seconds or barely walk up a hill] I would have had to put down my martini down before I spilled it all from laughing so hard. All the reviews that say, “I never thought I could run” sounds so cliché. But that’s actually good. It means that enough people have experienced similar results, and maybe you can too! (I love those reviews) I truly never thought I would be able to run in my entire life. When people ask me why I like to run, I usually just confirm the things that they already kind of know: -Endorphins -Better skin/cleaner pores -Cardiovascular health -Better breathing -Weight loss /muscle gain -Increased energy But I also like to add something that feels deeply personal to me: -There is something galvanizing about having to lift your entire body off the ground, even for nanosecond. -It refocuses your goals and makes you think more than twice before you eat something that will become part of what you carry later on. And when you start feeling that load lightening, it’s amazing. -When you start feeling your muscles get stronger, your body tighter, and you

This is a great app to get me to where I want to be.

This app, the program, is absolutely worth it. Can’t recommend it enough! 10/10! That said, its biggest flaw is that it notifies you to run.. even on the days you do not select. It should be embedded in the app that I understands on days I am off, not to tell me to run, because I’m having an off day. It’s the little things that make the biggest impact. Don’t be annoying. If I say three days, you know which days, don’t tell me to run at 9pm on a Sunday.

Highly recommend. Open app connect phone to my headphones and the app tells me what to do. Couldn’t be easier. Never glitched and no subscription. You pay for it and you own it. Love that it has advanced workouts to purchase for 10k. I’ll be transitioning into that one next!
