Leave a Review Watch to 5K－Couch to 5km plan
Does exactly what it says it’s going to and works
I generally don’t write reviews but I kinda had to for this app. I’ve run pretty seriously before so I’m familiar with how you can set intervals inside the Apple workout app on your watch. The thing is, everything on this app you can basically do yourself or cobble together from a couple different apps for free. And it’s kinda fiddly and doesn’t always work how you want it to, and for couch 2 5k you would have to make a decent amount of pre-sets. So this app is just nice, pay a reasonable price once, and get a solid native watch project that lets you skip the head ache. I still encourage people to figure out how to set intervals for themselves in the mean time. It’s good not to feel like you Have to pay for stuff like this and to have the freedom to set up custom workouts. But when your picking up running again, it’s really easy for small speed bumps to stall you. And having just like the first month or 2 of training totally preset can smooth the wayShow lessMiche341
Delightful!
I came across this app in a running subreddit and I have been thrilled with the experience so far. It gives me the program pretty seamlessly without extra fluff and I haven’t run into much in the way of bugs. Also, no subscription! Just pay once and you’re done! (Although, I did kick in an extra tip, since I like it so much. 🙂) Great work!Show lessBahairus

Thanks for choosing Watch to 5K and thanks for the tip! Subscriptions for a running plan don't feel right so we decide to go for the pay once model :)Great app for Pro Max users!
My phone is an absolute brick and any sling or chest pack I bring on a run adds heat and weight that drives me crazy. I love that I can run with just my watch and listen to music without a phone. The program itself is great. I was training for a 5k before but was basically just throwing myself at it which meant long recovery and it was not very rewarding. I committed to myself that I would do my absolute best to push through each session and so far in week 7 I have. Some are harder than others but some of the milestones are very rewarding and I feel really good about myself afterwards. The data is just enough to help me understand my pace and how hard I exert myself.
Some enhancements I’d love to see:
1) AOD support
2) Additional interval callouts (like 15 seconds remaining)
3) Zone training options
There is the occasional glitch where my watch vibrates to conclude a run and no audio comes out but they are few and far between.
Overall I highly recommend this for anyone struggling to start running. For years I was bored by cardio and now I actually consider myself to be a “runner.”Show lesskeVington
