WatchTo5K－0 to 5K run training

I love this basic app! It’s keeping me from going too hard too fast which means my ankle joints aren’t being overly stressed too fast. I love how seamlessly it works with my Apple Watch.

It does exactly what I want. The only issue I have is I have to switch from km to miles every time I use the app. It doesn’t remember my choice The developer explained the reason for Km and how to how to miles. But unfortunately, you have to do this for every single run. There’s no global setting. Still a very helpful app.

I generally don’t write reviews but I kinda had to for this app. I’ve run pretty seriously before so I’m familiar with how you can set intervals inside the Apple workout app on your watch. The thing is, everything on this app you can basically do yourself or cobble together from a couple different apps for free. And it’s kinda fiddly and doesn’t always work how you want it to, and for couch 2 5k you would have to make a decent amount of pre-sets. So this app is just nice, pay a reasonable price once, and get a solid native watch project that lets you skip the head ache. I still encourage people to figure out how to set intervals for themselves in the mean time. It’s good not to feel like you Have to pay for stuff like this and to have the freedom to set up custom workouts. But when your picking up running again, it’s really easy for small speed bumps to stall you. And having just like the first month or 2 of training totally preset can smooth the way

I love this app! I used the Active couch to 5k app years ago and recently redownloaded it. The UI is so clunky and outdated, and I hate having to take my phone with me when I’m running. The UI of this app is so sleek. It’s amazing having it all on the watch, and I love that it doesn’t have a subscription or a need to create a new account.

I came across this app in a running subreddit and I have been thrilled with the experience so far. It gives me the program pretty seamlessly without extra fluff and I haven’t run into much in the way of bugs. Also, no subscription! Just pay once and you’re done! (Although, I did kick in an extra tip, since I like it so much. 🙂) Great work!

My phone is an absolute brick and any sling or chest pack I bring on a run adds heat and weight that drives me crazy. I love that I can run with just my watch and listen to music without a phone. The program itself is great. I was training for a 5k before but was basically just throwing myself at it which meant long recovery and it was not very rewarding. I committed to myself that I would do my absolute best to push through each session and so far in week 7 I have. Some are harder than others but some of the milestones are very rewarding and I feel really good about myself afterwards. The data is just enough to help me understand my pace and how hard I exert myself. Some enhancements I’d love to see: 1) AOD support 2) Additional interval callouts (like 15 seconds remaining) 3) Zone training options There is the occasional glitch where my watch vibrates to conclude a run and no audio comes out but they are few and far between. Overall I highly recommend this for anyone struggling to start running. For years I was bored by cardio and now I actually consider myself to be a “runner.”

I love how easy it is to hook up my earbuds to both a podcast and the audio prompts simultaneously. The fitness tracking built into the watch & monitored through the Health app has shown me measurable improvements to my cardio health. I’ve never been a runner, but I just finished the last scheduled run with this app! 30m straight, woo!

Easily one of better no frills running apps I’ve used to run walk and get into the sport. No accounts and great interface with nice animations and options.

I got this to track my attempt at the couch to 5k program and it has done that as expected. It’s easy to use. I like having the prompts telling me when to run and walk. I feel like this app is making the whole process easier for me.
