5K Runner: 0 to 5K in 8 Weeks for Android
I've been using this program and find it incredibly helpful and easy to follow. I've used other programs but they just don't have all the features this on provides and I find them hard to use. This program is perfect for those beginning a running plan or for those who have been away from running for awhile and need a quick reboot. Love it!
I have done running or jogging with a maximum of about 2 minutes on and then ealing for two. 3 km would take me about 25 minutes and 5 km would take about 45 to 50 minutes. I had reservations about how well this would work but as with all things you get it off it what you put into it. The results were astounding to me. I actually made it the distance and was able to not only make the general increments upward but achieve the 5 km jogging to hit the 5 km mark. Yes I paid the amount for the unlimited app but it was a trade for a small amount of money in exchange for meeting the objective. So yes definitely worth it. Just be careful if you have the phone or ipid in your hand not to Siegal stop or reset the run mid run. Also be aware that it won't automatically set up the next incomplete run program but will automatically go to the last COMPLETED run you just did. I've been caught a couple of times where I stayed the run then realized that I needed to restart it on the next level. Still width it though.
Good app , basic only 2.47 or about that for thw whole thing. Only thing i cant get is my calorie count , not figured that out yet. But its better than no motivation at all and the stop /start running helps me as im a awful runner
It's a great app. The issue is if you're listening to music and want to change songs the app closes on its own and doesn't record what you've done so it has incorrect readings as you must start the day's run again.
I've been using this app for years. I was a little disappointed that you have to pay for the full program now but I guess not everything can be free forever. This app has helped me get back into running at least 3 times in my busy life. It's been my favourite so far.
I've been using this app for a while now, and I have to say that it's awesome. My only problem is on my LG G5 is when I try to switch to other apps (Spotify, etc)I keep pausing the session. It's difficult to press the navigation buttons on the bottom of the screen without pressing the app buttons.
I've recently downloaded. Second time doing it as I got a new phone and couldn't transfer my information. I was on the last before going pro so I've started again. But loving the app 5*
I've been using this app for about 2 years now off and on not the apps fault but my own because I lost motivation. I have now gotten to the very end I have two days left and I feel more incredible than I ever have and I am so happy that I downloaded this app I am now going to download the 10K as well super-excited!!
Great app No frills does exactly what you want and need, you can hear the instructions over your music, even works with spotify! Can't wait to start using the other apps in this series. Keep it up.
Looking to lose weight this is your app. Great exersize. All you need to do is run 3 days a week. Walk and run. Easy to use
I Love this Fitness App it motives me to do my best and lets me go at my own pace with the 'PAUSE' button. It is also great to see how many miles I've walked/run in my neighborhood.
Recommended by a friend to train for a run with my son. So far, great. Gradual build to the final run. Onl y complaint is pause button is in a bad place for my phone and I hit it accidentally often. Causes it to repeat run/walk cycles, but no big deal. Thanks for the positive feedback as I run. Surprisingly keeps me going.
Just starting running and this is very motivating, and works great while i play my own music, it just turns the music down for a second while it talks. One time i thought the ladies voice said stop when really she said stuff, but other than that it's great!
the app didn't even start simply got a black screen without a loading sign , without buttons without anything I hope it is a glitch but it persisted even after I reinstalled the app. disapointed : (
I never thought I would be a runner. Here I am! Running! And I love it!!! The motivation from this app has helped me so much! It is like having a really super coach right in my ear!
Great!! I can use us the other options on my phone. Also the voice tells me when to walk and run. This means I can keep my hands in my gloves or pockets when it's cold.
I've really loved using this app. It's taken me from couch to 5k very smoothly, and I haven't had any trouble using it alongside spotify. The GPS sometimes doesn't track accurately, but that hasn't bothered me much.
It's really unfortunate and sad that the developer decided to delete the users' previous data history just to make them pay for the app. Used to really like it... I had used it for 4 weeks and now all my history and achievements are gone.
I use it for my off season for rugby have a week or two off at the end of thr session then this app really helps me get back in shape and gives me the motivasion over the summer to return with almost full fitness, perfect after a weights session fir me personally.
Very pleased with the app. You have to buy it on Week 2, Day 2 but it's worth the $2.99. Helping me to get back to running with less risk for iniury.
If only the running was as easy as the app. It accelerates a little fast for me so I typically do a day for a week or two and then move on.
Love not having to look at my device, easy to use and motivational. My kids love it too!
Really good app. I do end up using it alongside another tracking app as find the statistics better but for getting me up and running this app is perfect. I'm no runner but I'm getting there with this.
Super easy. I went through a couple of apps to find a good one that's easy to use and fit with my transition to no exercise to being able to run a 5k. This one was perfect
This app helped me run a 5k last year. I hibernate in winter so I'm back at it again now. I love the intervals and map. ??? When I choose training plans it goes to "page not found"????
Great app for people who want to start running. Easy plan to follow just need to move your feet
Never ran for exercise before and decided to use this app. Super helpful in getting to 5k at your own pace. Really easy to use!
Recovering from a broken Femur... Helping me get back on track by treadmill and dirt trails!! #36y/o5K here I come! #DrsaidIshouldneverrunagain!
I'm disappointed that the app is advertised as free and then after so many workouts you have to pay for the rest. Don't say it's free if it's not free.
Fun app, but the customer service is even better. Had a minor issue. Emailed customer service from the app, and they were awesome.
Not free. Asks you to pay after a few days of the program. Shame they can lie like this. Should be labeled as demo.
I love love love this app. Honestly don't do reviews much and I'm literally writing this after a days run. This is the perfect app for those "I can't run I'm just not fit for it" types. aka me. But this app literally goes step by step with you. Easing you into the regime. I really love the voice over. I don't have to look down every minute to check if it's been a minute or not. I could rave about this forever. So basically... if you're looking for an app that helps and supports you. This is it. Download and just try one day with it. Like that's all it takes to get hooked.
I let myself go through college and grad school. After my first busy season with a cpa firm, I need more activity in my life. This has been a great way to ease back into a fitness routine! The app allows you to push yourself, and allows you to recover before starting another push. I used the original podcast version to train in high school back when the first ipods came out. I love the addition of the GPS tracking because now I don't need to guess at my distance anymore. Great app!
Being a couch potato i have never run before so I thought I'd start! I viewed all of the running apps on here and this was the best and it certainly is!! I have just started this week with this app and I've already bought the rest of it for £2.80....Bargain! It's amazing for first timers and very achievable to meet the goals set for you during your run! You can also listen to your music on the same device (spotify for me) and when you need to run/walk the app will lower your music to tell you what to do for a second then come back on to listen to. Can't tell you how good this is! 5* Give it a try, you might surprise yourself as I have done!
I cannot tell you how much I love this app and how it has changed me on a whole! It is amazing with third party music as it just lowers your volume when it wants to speak to you. It is brilliant also that it tells you when to walk and run so you don't have to look at the screen even though I would rather watch the seconds diminish while I run! I have always hated running even though I've come from a really running based family but this app has changed everything - now I can't wait to go out! Overall, I believe you should definitely download this all and I loved it that much that I even bought the full version for the 5k, 10k and 21k - I just hope they bring out more! Well worth the money and who cares if you have to pay, you're changing your life! 5*
Only been using this app for a few weeks now, but the app itself is easy to use and well presented. The voice commands are good as well. I found it usfull as I enjoy staying fit but found my self lacking the motivation to do exercise that wasn't my hobby. This app gave me the little bit motivation to get up and out and start to enjoy running. Awsome overall!
Just started using this, completed day 2. So far it is the best beginners running guide I have come across. The audio feedback is great. I love that when I turn my phone screen off the audio still works. I can just stick it in my pocket and enjoy my run without having to look at the timer. My only set back is that I would have to pay for the full 8 weeks and I only get a week free :(
I never thought I would take up running but am doing this programme with my daughter and love it! We're hovering around week 4 and repeat the runs if we don't do so well. The words of encouragement actually help. Thanks for a great app.
I have gone from never running in my life to 4k in 5 wks. I was naughty and had less rest days than I should have but now it is getting harder I noticeably need them. Next week I will be doing my 5k and my Race for Life. Fab app, have also bought 10k app and squats app to do next. The Facebook page is also really informative and interesting.x

The app is very basic, I paid to upgrade to the full version and it's exactly the same as it was before. The GPS tracking does not work, I can't even find it on the app. All it's really good for is to tell you when to run! Not happy I paid money for nothing!
