Just Run: Zero to 5K (+10K)

I’m in my running girl era and let me tell you it is changing my life. I’ve never been an endurance runner, and I always found it difficult but this app has been helping me so much by timing the intervals and prompting runs and walks. Im honestly surprised at how much progress I’ve made and the runs just get easier and easier. It’s such a straightforward app, which I so appreciate. No marketing, no ads. I look forward to going on my runs. I paid for premium to support the developer (thanks Gary!!) and I’m aiming to run a 5k in the next couple of months. Wish me luckkkkk~

Finding apps that don’t bombard me with subscription fees and ads (not to mention bells and whistles I don’t need or want) has gotten to be a rarity. I am trying to tackle my health and the other popular running apps have been ruined with ads and monthly fees that rival Netflix. Why?! I went on one run with this app and it was everything I wanted. Told me when to run, when to walk, and let me listen to my audiobook along the way. It’s not fancy, but I also didn’t need it to be. If I continue to have a good experience, I will pay for premium to support the developer.

A beginner who thought running was impossible. Currently on week 8 & just ran a 5k(a week ahead of the goal!) Great hands-free app as you get a voice telling you when to start and stop running. Also, you don’t have to upgrade but I did at week 5 bc of how much progress I made and wanted to support the creator. Only downside would be I don’t know about a 5k in 30 minutes by the end of the program. I just ran my 5k in 37 minutes. Progress nonetheless, but you may need to work on pace separately. I’ll be starting the 5-10k program too.

The easiest app to get you back into running or to a goal. Thank you, just what I needed!

I’ve always struggled to stay consistent with running because, let’s face it, it can get a bit monotonous. But this app completely changed the game for me! It turned every run into something I actually look forward to. Here’s why I love it: 1. It keeps me motivated by giving me exact dates on when I should run and rest. 2. It’s perfect for all levels. When I started, I loved the beginner-friendly options, and as I improved, I could tweak my training plans to keep pushing myself. 3. I love seeing how far I’ve come—literally and figuratively. Since using this app, I’ve not only built a solid running habit, but I’ve also genuinely started to enjoy the process. If you’ve ever struggled to stay motivated with running, give this app a shot. You might just find yourself having fun—something I never thought I’d say about cardio!

I am a beginner runner and haven’t run since high school track. I’m 28 now with goals to be able to run a 5k. I’ve never been a distance runner and these workouts make it very attainable. I’m at the three week mark, and I’m so excited to complete this training and move onto the 10k program! I like that this app is so simple, there’s no fluff, and I still feel motivated.

I just move form the zero to 5k to to the 5k to 10k plan. I hadn’t paid a penny until now. I still didn’t have to. I chose to pay because this app is fantastic. No subscription, no nonsense. Just an excellent and free running program. It works, it’s free, you can throw down a couple of bucks to say thanks if you want (and you should).

I was told about Just Run from a friend. I’ve enjoyed the free app but decided to get the premium upgrade. I ran my first 5k last month. I am now training for a 10k for next year.

I love this app so much. I’m currently in week 9 and have gone from barely able to run for a couple minutes, to the full 30 (before week 9). Pros: audibly tells you to walk/run and gives a halfway cue; no interference with music; the program itself was well planned out; count down timer that stays on screen if you’re in the app; and encouraging notes from the developer (thanks coach lol) The only thing I would like to change is some indication of what “set” you’re on when you’re in the interval weeks. When I was starting the program and would get really tired, I wanted to know how many runs were left. There is a timer in the top right that kind of helps but it’s not the same thing. But honestly this is such a small note. Overall 10/10 and I suggest this app to every one.

HIIT runs at best but nothing for long periods of time. This was great at building confidence and I was so proud of myself with each milestone. I’m starting the 5K next.
