I’ve used Couch to 5K in the past and the Just Run app was a great free journey as I (yet again) get back into running. I liked that the challenges were time focused, rather than distance focused. I built up to the “Just Run” workouts with a couple months of just walking and tracking my daily steps (with Fitbit + StepBet apps). So gradually working short runs into that routine felt very doable. Because the weekly/daily challenges were challenging without feeling impossible, I also left each work out with a huge sense of accomplishment. That’s not to say that I was able to complete every workout, so don’t feel discouraged if some days you feel stronger than others. This app helped me focus on the bigger picture and celebrate a string of wins, accumulating over time, rather than beat myself up when my body was dragging. I highly recommend this app to anyone interested in easing their way back into running. I completed my 2nd to last workout tonight, running 30 full minutes nonstop! I can’t believe that I was able to get here from just incremental bumps each week. I remember a time not so long ago when 10 minutes felt impossible. Thanks, Just Run app, for helping me to challenge and push myself to a fitter version of me. Signed up to complete my first 5K since 2018 in October. I can’t wait to begin the 5 to 10k journey!
Loaded this due to the zen labs C25K charging these days. But this app is so perfectly efficient, I’m thankful to have made the switch!!! Did my first workout, loved the app. Already have recommended to friends. I am using this to work on speed training. I am capable of running a 5k now, but I have a finish time goal I’m working towards. So, I’m doing this app and working on pushing myself to go faster pace on the “run” prompts than I usually would for a steady 30:00 run. Looking forward to following the plan! To the designer of the app, God bless you for making this free. Seriously, life is so expensive right now, this was such a treat for me. God bless you for your generosity in making this app accessible to everyone.
I don’t remember how i found this app but I am glad I did! I am almost 40, 320lbs+, and work a desk job. I needed a change, and this app helped tremendously! For a time i was using the timer on my phone to time my interval runs. I found this app and fell in love with it instantly. Just do what it tells you (take rest days if you need to) and you’ll be golden.
Only complaint I have is that it assumes a 10 min/mile pace. There is no tracking of your actual pace to adjust the run times. But not a big deal, just run longer if you need to hit more distance.
I love this app so much! It’s streamlined and simple to use. As someone who just started running, I found that it was easy to keep up with the schedule and it hasn’t once felt like I’m overdoing it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s challenging sometimes because running is challenging! But being able to use an app that is free, effective, and easy to use helps so much. I purchased the premium version just to show my support and it’s totally worth it in my opinion to change the colors and have the timer show up on my lock screen! I’m currently on the last week of the 5k program and can’t wait to switch to the 10k version after I finish. I feel like this app has helped me enjoy running, which is truly a miracle!!
It used to be one someone made a good app, they set a price and you paid for it and that was it. Now everything has shifted to subscription models and obscured fees and contracts. I’m glad this developer didn’t do this. He made a great app that’s completely usable free and set a ONE TIME purchase price. On principle I bought it because I respect the transparency. Furthermore the app itself is solid, it does everything I needs to and nothing it doesn’t. It simply is an interactive version of the very simple C25k program. A program one could do without an app, but it’s nice to have everything preset and ready for you. I especially enjoy the “turn around” feature. The voices are solid as well. Thank you, sir!
JUST DOWNLOAD AND SEE FOR YOURSELF ITS SO GOOD!!
I stumbled on this with little expectations as everything now a days required payments and ads. This app has none of that. The screen is also visually appealing and simple making it not overwhelming (which you need while running). I may also add, the program is also different than the “other” app that is now super annoying to use. Having used both, personally, this app’s program is much much more approachable and I’m finally so excited to be able to complete it!! Can’t wait to change it from 5k to 10k!
I love this app. It is giving me exactly what I need, just an indicator of when I need to warm up, when to run, and when to walk. I like that it is very low profile and doesn’t shout motivations every 3 seconds, waking my neighbors when I run at 7am. Also great interface, just click the next day and run. First app that made me stick to running. C25k actually went too aggressive when I tried it and I got discouraged when I had to keep stopping short. This app seems to take it a bit more easy in week one, so I was able to complete each run. Been using this app for a month and have not missed a run :)
This application is beautifully constructed with plenty of valuable functions which allows for a pleasurable experience by the consumer. I, Sauce Packet, personally recommend this application above all others I myself have tried. While, in my adventures, many products have required an unfortunate and uncomfortable add wall, this simply asks politely for a small donation in return for a unique voice pack and a refreshing recoloration. I digress, in short, this is a great running app.
I’ve just finished week 4 of the couch to 5k. As a beginner runner this has been exceptional! I have been able to successfully complete each run without issues. This week was a bit more challenging with some longer run stretches, but it felt amazing to complete!!!!! I’m so proud of my progress all thanks to this app. Can’t wait to get to the end to say I DID IT! Running has been so helpful for me and completely rid me of chronic knee pain. Can’t wait to complete this and move to the next phase! Highly recommend this!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this app and everything about it. I literally am so unathletic and would get winded after walking down the street. But I just finished week 4 and feel amazing and so accomplished! This app has allowed me to hold myself accountable with the every other day schedule. Most importantly it’s free. I will be purchasing the upgrade bc this app is so amazing. I decided to push myself and after completing week 4 I just kept running and ran the farthest I’ve ever ran in my whole life. Thank you to this app! Love it!!!!!! Next up is switching to the 10k program!
