    I really love this app. It makes running soooo easy and the way it caters to the level you’re on when you start is wonderful. Workouts aren’t too hard and aren’t too easy. premium has great features at a reasonable price, and the free one is perfect for the basics. Keep it up!!!
  • A little inconvenient

    I loved that this app had directions on warm up & cool down including stretches. I didn’t like that you can’t log a workout unless you actually track it in the app. For example, I tracked my first run on my Apple Watch, but was unable to progress to the next run in the app because I didn’t track the workout in the app natively. This is inconvenient as there’s also no way to skip the workout now so I don’t know what to do for my next run. I’ll need to download a different app.

  • I hate running

    It helps plan your workout so you don’t have to think about it, you just do it. Set a goal and you’re more likely to achieve it if you feel like someone is planning it for you. I’d like to see the next workout at any time though. Instead of having to wait 24 hours to see what the workout is. I don’t mind waiting to do it so it forces you to rest but I still want to know what I’m going to be doing next.

  • Awesome App

    I’ve never been a runner before this. I want to get ready for track this spring and this is an awesome app to get ready. I love how it shows you everything after your workout, gives you a rest day, and tells you step by step what to do. I also like that there is a warm up and cooldown. Awesome app for beginners that are starting to run or want to get into running.

  • Great!

    I just started using this app, but so far i really like it. Clear directions and good communication! Easing me into fitness. Very doable even if you haven’t been active in a long time! I didn’t realize you could bypass the ‘24 hour’ setting inbetween workouts! This is helpful because I have a schedule that differs from day to day.

  • Never thought I could be a runner

    This app helped me push through the mental part of running. A friend recommended this app and it changed running for me. Granted some of the workouts were hard but after finishing all the levels, I can run a mile without stopping with no problems. I will be forever grateful for this app! GENUINELY!
  • Love this app but maybe a few changes

    Today was the first day that I tried this app. I liked it for the most part and some benefits were that it tells you when to start running, and pushes you to work through it. My only concern is that it doesn’t tell you how much calories you burned and how far you went. If you are playing music, the sound does overlap so that you can pay attention and jam out. This is a really easy way to get fit and i think you should check it out!

  • Longest I’ve ever run!!

    I’m not a runner, but took it up when I got laid off from work. At first it was hard but pushing my self to run 3 mins than walking and then 3 more minutes became a game. Now I’m on level 7, about to run my second 5k (turkey trot), and can run for 26 mins without stopping. I just wish at this level there was more stop and go to keep it interesting!!

  • Recommended to me

    A friend recommended this app and I kept putting off trying it. In the meantime, I tried another run training app that I had previously purchased and it wasn’t working for me. I’ve tried this and I love it! I like the simplicity and the ability to listen to my own playlists while using the app. I would recommend it to others just like my friend did for me.

  • Too difficult

    This is DEFINITELY not a couch to 5K. More like a “I’ve run before and trying to get back into it to 5K”. The second workout is alternating 2 min walking and 2 minutes running. If you’ve been sitting on the couch for 10 years, there’s no way you can run for 2 minutes straight. And there is no “jog”. It’s walk or run. I don’t like how the countdown is every 24 hours…..I always have to skip the countdown because I workout at the same time everyday. I love the idea of the app but I feel like it should have a different name because it’s definitely NOT for new runners
