Leave a Review This Mum Runs
Would be good if timer and audio cues worked
When I first downloaded this app I had no problems with it and happily followed the programme. I’m no repeating the programme and no matter what I try, I cannot get the timer to stay counting down when my phone screen goes off (the timer stops so it’s useless). Plus audio cues don’t come on so I don’t know when the end of each interval is (even when not listening to music)Show lesskkcc55
Looks great but sound isn’t working
Hi please help! I just discovered this app and it looks like just the ticket to get me running again. But after installing it the sound didn’t work. I uninstalled it and tried again but the same issue persisted. Please can you help?

We can be runners!
I think that running is the fastest, easiest, cheapest, most convenient and healthiest way to improve cardiovascular fitness. And burn calories. And to just get outside and get 30 minutes to myself.
But when I’ve been slack for months on end it’s painful to build my fitness up. To go from not being able to run for even a minute to being able to run for half an hour, is TOUGH so I make up excuses and procrastinate starting.
Thats where I’ve found this app is amazing.
It cheers you on, and with the timers and Mel’s positive talk and instructions it takes away any thinking, so you just plod along doing what she tells you, and before you know it you are getting fitter and looking forward to the next time. Honest!
I 100% recommend TMR and I have personally got half a dozen friends to download the app and we are doing it together. Apart, but together. It’s fun to check in and it’s helping so many of us!
It’s true that with TMR it’s ‘my time’ and I love it, thank you so much.Show lessAucklandGirl
A great way for new runners to build confidence
Narrated by founder Mel Bound, this app is a great partner for the novice runner. Manageable sessions that quickly build confidence and stamina, I particularly like that I can play my own music (or have no music at all), accompanied my Mel’s coaching. Highly recommended1967JMC
Made me a runner
I actually did the TMR Run 30 and Run 60 physical course back in 2017 before I was pregnant with my third. They made me a runner then. I never thought I’d run any kind of distance, let alone a 10k and TMR did that. My husband moved away after baby three so I couldn’t do the evening sessions any more. The app means I get the familiarity of the TMR structure with the freedoms to run when I have the time. I really like it. It’s got me running again. And I can run and listen to podcasts and Mel chips in when she needs to over the audio. One small thing, I could do with narration for the warm up and cool down sessions. I find I tend to do these outside and have to keep checking my phone to remind myself what the stretches are. But I almost have them memorised by session 6 so it’s a tiny issue.Show lessBristol Mama
A different viewpoint
I’ve always thought of running as a distance event - I have to run 5k or 10k and my times have to improve and I have to run three times a week and I’ve always failed. It became even harder once I became a full time working mum. I’m exhausted most of the time - there is no parenting off switch! I decided to go for this app because I really liked the idea of running not a distance, not a specific distance within a time frame, but to just be able to run for 30 minutes. At my pace. There is no “how far did you go?” questioning at the end. I just followed the app and was guided by Mel. It’s very early days but there is something different about this way of training - this different mindset that makes me feel like the pressure is off. I got to the end of my first session and thought - I can do this!Show lessSL2G
Best app
I’ve tried a few fitness and running apps, but this one is the best by far. The app allows you to choose music to play along and then gently encourages great achievements. I’ve never been able to run for more than 5 mins, and yet with this app, half way through and I can run 20 mins non stop! It’s amazing!Show lesshank2406
This the perfect antidote to busy lives 💕
I’ve been a huge fan of This Mum Runs since the early days but this app means I can have Mel and my own playlist with me on every run.
Super simple to use and just the right amount of instruction but heaps of encouragement along the way.
Download it or gift it to a friend/family member and carve out some ‘me time’ It’s fab! CTShow lessPonthir
Brilliant App!
Downloaded this yesterday and did my first session today. It was great to get outside and exercise after a bit of a break from running and not look at my watch or worry about what Strava was saying. I just listened to my music and ran when Mel told me to. The encouragement throughout the session is spot on, enough to keep the positive thoughts up but not so much that you can’t listen to your music. Really easy app to use and looking forward to doing the next session!Show lessLsnaat
