5K Runner - Start running from Couch To 5K app

I started this as a true couch potato but within 4 weeks was looking forward to the runs                 It works

For beginning runners Easy enough that you can get through it hard enough that you feel like youve accomplished something Make sure you have good running shoes bc this app puts you through the paces                 Love it

I love this app I like that I can listen to my music without looking at my watch for the intervals              Great

Pretty good app May need to adjust my settings to be able to have it run in the background while I check music or other apps during my run Wish it was a bit more intuitive to tell me what to fix so I didnt lose my place in the middle of a cool down              Pretty good

I called myself trying to exercise with no idea what I was doing and no desire to pay for a trainer This app does exactly what it promises It even helps an exercise hater like me get motivated                 Great for one who hates exercise

I have waited over 45 years to start running and I am glad I have this app to guide me I have an IPhone 4S so there are issues with the voice commands at times and the app will not start Just keep trying and get through it because it is worth it I am on week 4 and would be lost without this app I would have had to pay a trainer to guide me this far and keep me modivated              Keeps You Going

I really dont normally write reviews but this app is incredible I have never been a runner but this app has encouraged me and helped me in so many different ways Super user friendly and it does what they advertise                 Love it

Ive enjoyed the app so far and I definitely recommend it Its really simple to use and you can listen to music You gradually work your way up to being able to run for 35 minutes without walking However I do wish the app would calculate distance and tell me how far Ive ranwalk rather than just time but its still a good app to use if you want to just get up and moving towards running for a longer time without stopping                 Great appexcept

I havent been using it for that long but so far I like it Its up to you to push yourself Only you know how much you can take The program just keeps track of the intervals                 So far so good

Great app              Good

Gets me really motivated but half the time it doesnt even tell me to run when Im supposed to I have to keep checking the app then rewind it so Im doing it right Wish it would work right since I paid for it Its goofy with spotify              Great except the glitches

App only talks half of the time It messes up my run when I have to constantly check to see where I am since it wont tell me Apparently playing music completely turns then voice off even though the app allows you to do so Id give it 5 stars if it worked     Terrible app Completely inconsistent

So far this app is awesome It makes me feel like Im capable of better things physically It starts out very easy and builds toward harder stuff Im going to sign up for a 5k when Im done with the 8 weeks on this app                 Loving it

Im not a runner by any means But I downloaded this app to help me become one and it has helped me so much Love it                 Best running app

I love this app The progression is good The voice motivating you is a little cheesy but that isnt important Whats important is the effectiveness of the app You will not be disappointed Give it a try                 Amazing

I am not a big runner in fact I really dont enjoy it at all However my daughter signed up for girls on the run and at the end they run a 5k and an adult has to run with her so I need to become better at the whole running thing This app is great so far as it is a gradual process Im looking forward to completing this goal                 Great for starters

This is a great app for people who hate jogging or running or are poorly motivated to work out or even just get in the car and drive to the gym The gradual progression is perfectnot too much but enough to see progress with my stamina each time I use the app which is pleasantly surprising and motivating I highly recommend this app for anyone who needs a little push to get into running 30 minutes a day and thats it I feel great afterward too                 Hate running love this app

This app takes you from not running to running Love it However i run too slow bc i didnt run a 5k by the end of week 8 No worries ill just pick up the pace next time              Gentle start

Amazing app for a beginning runner I recommend to all my friends Less than a month away from my first 5k and I feel awesome                 Awesome App

Great app Look no further                 Awesome

I really love this app I got it to help me slowly control my asthma while I get better at running it really helps If I cant finish running on time I just take it easy and do that round over again until I get it down And I can listen to my own music in between announcements to run or walk Great app Id definitely recommend it                 Love love love

Simple interface and easy to use I was the kind of person that was winded from climbing q flight of stairs and now i am running 5Ks 3 times a week Get this app                 Amazing app Life changing

Got me off the couch and into shape                 Great app

Absolutely wonderful app and the designers are some of the friendliest people They offer tips on their Facebook page and are quick to get back to you when you have issues with the app For getting back into running after pregnancy or getting used to a higher altitude run this is the BEST app for the job A definite win                 Love this app

Never thought I could run long being out of shape This helps me run and condition my body without hurting myself I love this app                 Awesome

Honestly I have been sidelined for awhile I use to run 46 times a week then lost my love for a long time and this is helping me get it back and helps me work on my pace You can run your music through it Push yourself like I do If you have to stop in the middle of an interval repeat Dont give up It comes back quick if you lost it like me and if your just starting this is a great app                 So easy to lose your pace this helps get you back

Improve every day I run                 Keep goin

I strongly recommend this app                 Great App

App is helping me reach my goals                 Love

Have tried 4 or 5 different c25k apps and this is my favorite I like the motivational prompts and I like how you can integrate your music                 Easy to use motivating

App works great Only a couple of minor issues the clock seems to get screwed up if you switch between apps when working out I also wish it auto advanced to next workout automatically The first workout I did twice before I noticed              Just what I was looking for

Before using this app I hated to run Because the app gradually adds more time it makes it easy to get into running Now I look forward to my running days I love running                 Love it

Easy to follow and fun to do I am NOT a runner and I have really enjoyed this app I am now well on my way Great motivation blibs throughout the workout Love that my music syncs Just awesome sauce                 NoRunner Friendly

So far so good                 So far so good

I love this app I have an office job and needed something to get me back in shape I started running with this app and already notice an increase in my endurance Highly recommend                 Great for building endurance

This program helps you build your cardio foundarion Give it a try and I promise you will love it                 Amazing

I read before 5k programs had doubts etc Some of my friend runs marathon even extra hard core thing I admired them from the nice chair Saw the pictures on facebook and taugh man I wish I could do that 43 yrs old 211 lbs dude in the chair is not the runner type I hated to run for a long time was rather a biker guy years ago Running is boring nothing moves etc Well after 2 of my heavy duty friend decided to loose weight and we started supporting them on FB said isnt this is the best time to check this runner thing out Started on jun 01 with this program Was ok the first 2 week 3rd soso than 4th almost killed me but I saw whats the times I asked my guys how to approach They said if you do it with 50 do it Once you get used to it you will increase the speed After 10 weeks I can run 5km with no problem Did it with 3517min today Not a Usain Bolt speed but everybody around supports me and I feel like Iam In the process I went down to 185 lbs Lost 26 lbs easy Sure I changed my whole eating style but never was hungry Some trick about food 0 sugar no exception Avoid any blechedwhole grain flower That 2 the biggest enemy stay away from starch and carbs Use protein shake Helps a lot for regeneration hot shower bengay your best friend massage needed time to time for those poor legs Bottom line DOES WORK Do not go crazy on speed focus on time never cheat Do not run extra but run as it shows and you will able to run the 5k after 8 weeks I did it myself                 Falling in love with running

After youre done with 5k youll want to get the 10k so you might as well just buy the 10k now instead of buying two apps                 Skip this and buy the 10K app

I love the pace of this app it doesnt start you from nothing and the motivation is huge Its silly but it really does give me a pep in my step to hear her call me an awesome runner I love it                 So motivating

This app helped me keep going as I got back into running It offers good intervals to build upon and gives me motivation to keep going by showing me time left                 Keeps me going

I used this app to improve my endurance for long distance running As for my Athletic history I did not regularly exercising for a year before starting this app Currently over a month in I am feeling my endurance improve immensely and find it no trouble to keep a steady pace for extended periods of time I only wish it contained stretching assistance paired with this app so I can feel a little safer while running Otherwise this became a helpful trainer to start running again after a long hiatus              Great App for Beginners

Great app so far Love the way it gradually builds the running time              Great for beginners

Every time I run a routine open my phone and hit the unlock button the app is restarting to a different routine I have yet to complete a full workout because of this and I can not see my progress I never had this problem with an older version it only started happening after I reinstalled it on my phone        Starts a new routine automatically

What a great app Eases you into running so gently You finish your session feeling accomplished rather than discouraged and before you know it you can run over 30 minutes I still often think I cant believe Im doing this I love it and look forward to running every other day take my warning though It is such a gentle progression you may want to skip off days and run everyday DONT DO IT I hurt my knees and had to take several weeks off recovering Take days off in between runs and ride a bike to strengthen your knees                 Im a runner now

Very helpful                 Excellent

Love it Never thought I would make it but actually ran my first 5k at the middle of week 7 I have longer legs so I was reaching distance quicker By the end of week 8 my official distance was 455 miles                 Couldnt be happier or prouder of myself

8 weeks ago I thought I would never be able to run for 5 minutes Just ran for 35                 Stick with it

Good paced east routine to follow Enjoying it so far                 I like it

Help Its probably because of the 841 iOS update but if I unlock the screen in the middle of a workout the sequence goes back to where it was the last time I unlocked it Other than going thru the whole workout without unlocking the screen which I havent been able to do the app its pretty much useless     Goes back to previous sequence

It works                 Exhausting yay
