About 5K Run - Couch to 5K Walk/Jog Interval Training

Use the 5K Run app to improve your stamina, endurance, and health to help you run a 5K! Your body's strength will gradually increase over time with the 'interval training' method.

Over the next 8 weeks your running will be steadily improved. You will start with 1 minute jogging intervals in-between 1.5 minute walks. As you complete runs your body will be strengthened and the program will slowly become more challenging. You will be on your 5K run before you know it!

Take your device with you on your runs! Listen to your favorite music and get prompted over your headphones to run or walk. Your entire 5k run will be directed through your headphones or speakers.

Glancing at the app while on your run will show you:
✔ How long you have been running
✔ How much time you have left on your run
✔ How much time you have left on your current interval

Need to stop and tie your shoe? Pause 5K Run! Or, press Back/Next to go to different intervals.

✔ Use outside or on a treadmill
✔ Play your music while training for your 5k - the coach will chime in over your music

Great app. Easy to follow and works.

I started with the free version- it worked well for a week and then started to glitch. It didn't keep track of my runs, would load the wrong work-out or not load at all. I uninstalled/ reinstalled the app and updated my phone- still the problems persisted. I foolishly thought that if I updated to the pay version that the problems would vanish, obviously that was wrong. I'm extremely disappointed because the first week of running with the app was great.

Last night I did my 5k run! I have never felt so proud. I will be honest and admit that I struggled with the very first run. I really was a couch potato! Everytime I completed a run I felt so great that I'd achieved something further than the last time and 9 weeks later, I RAN A 5K! Still can't believe it. The app is great. A few annoying adverts but a steady build up and regular notifications to push you. I was disappointed that once I had completed the 5k that there wasn't more of a song and dance about it. It literally said what it says after each run and then a 'try a 10k' so that was disappointing. Over all I wouldn't be where I am so Thanks!

I like it at first. Stopped logging my runs. It keeps bringing me back to week 1 run 2 regardless the run I select. I would love my money back. This app is broken.

Y70%
by Y####:

Would not allow me to log in unless I upgraded and paid for it. Therefore I can't keep track of my progress! Horrible

Y70%
by Y####:

The app tarmed itself off while in the middle of a run& did not record my progress. Alerts were only vibrations which were hard to recognise when running. Not impressed :C

Y70%
by Y####:

I paid to upgrade the app to map my run and record my distance. After two runs, the app has still not correctly mapped or recorded my runs.

Y70%
by Y####:

App keeps saying week 1 even though I progressed to week 5, reset app but still not right

Y70%
by Y####:

This app was great EXCEPT every time I used it, it screwed up everything else that also used GPS. There is a way to put the correct distance when you finish (great) but no way to prevent the app from interfering w/other apps also using the GPS.

by Y####:

Awesome does not matter how out of shape u r this app will have u running a 5k in 8 Weeks

Y70%
by Y####:

Worst app ever. It stopped/reset at every interval.

Y70%
by Y####:

Great simple to use app but would love to have one that starts music for you, rather than have to mess about with both apps, I get anxious enough before my runs as I'm a beginner, would be great if it could access the music app you use most often when you start your run. Other than that a great app and perfect for beginners!

Y70%
by Y####:

It very easy to used, but after i went running I wad wondering to verify my tack. How much i run, how much i walk and tje distance and the app asked me to upgrade if i want to see those things.

Y70%
by Y####:

This is helping me pace myself and build up to fitness rather than rushing and burning out! It's a pleasure to use.

Y70%
by Y####:

I like this app I just wish I could see my distance and GPS doesn't track

Great

Y70%
by Y####:

This did what I needed it to do, got me off the couch and actually running. I loved the short intervals, and the voice just coming on and telling me whether to walk or run. I encountered no problems with the ap.

M70%
by M####:

Quits about 10 mins into run. Reset doesn't work. First 12 runs were fine so might be from latest update? Either way am going to uninstall.

Y70%
by Y####:

For someone who has never run before there is no help. It expects you to know how to warm up and then keep up for 25 mins. Rubbish.

Y70%
by Y####:

Helps keep you on track only thing it has the last walk section right before the call down. Which seems like a waste.

Y70%
by Y####:

Good app for a novice runner. The only weakness is the voice is too soft. Can barely hear it over the music
