Nice and easy
Nice easy start. I'm still recovering after major surgery a few years in but never been able to manage too much exercise. The app is very helpful for the road to recovery.NellyP26
Disappointed after buying premium
This app is missing a pace and doesn't tell the distance as you are running, which I would find helpful and motivating. Also, I'm searching for extra features during my cool down I accidentally ended my workout by forwarding to the next segment. My time skipped and did not adjust so it appears on my log that I finished the same distance in a greater amount of time, when it was actually a less amount of time. My time and distance are important to me during training. There is no way to edit the logs to adjust for this mistake. I am deeply disappointed in the $10 spent. Also.... there are no analytics besides the history log, it would be nice for paying members to see some type of basic progression chart at the very minimum.
However the training program itself is manageable and the prompts are nice so I gave it an "extra" star for this.Show lessCCRuns
It really works
Very skeptical at first but now amazed. My wife and I are on our last week and we can't believe how easy it's been. From total couch potatoes to running 30mins nonstop. Best thing we've ever done.karl70nz
Success
I had long thought I would never be able to run more then about a mile without re-triggering old debilitating knee, back and Achilles issues. In fact it had probably been close to 10 years that I had run over 1 mile, but with too limited time to go to the gym, with an ever expanding waist, and with two young boys needing me to have more energy, I gave this a shot- and it works.
This program really does gradually and almost as painlessly as possible get you from couch shape to running a 5k without much problem whatsoever. It really is shocking.
You start out slowly with light intermittent runs mixed with walking periods and gradually build up to fewer walking periods and longer runs, until next thinks you know, your running a 5k straight.
The entire training period spanned just under 2 months for me. Each session is about 1/2 hour to 50 minutes with a 5 minute warmup and warm-down period respectively.
My only complaint was that I never could figure out when the program would give the distance of the workout, whether that included the running or the running and walking. As a result I was never exactly sure how much time I was actually taking for my runs versus my runs and my walks.
However, can't beat how gradually and painlessly the program gets you from couch to 5k!Show lessUnkno-no
Wow from a non-runner
I started using this App 5 weeks ago. I was a complete couch potato & found the first run hard going -even running for 1 minute felt like an eternity! I got hooked almost immediately & today I completed my 16th run & ran 22 minutes with 2 3 minute intervals. I've amazed myself but this app motivates me because every new challenge is just about manageable & I can see my progress with the map & summary by the end. I'll settle for wherever my body tells me is enough, but my aim was to run 5k by my birthday in December & right now I feel as though I'm going to smash it! The only improvement I can suggest is guided warm up & cool down. As a novice, a few of the runs hurt my legs/back for a few days, so I researched warm up exercises & haven't looked back since warming up properly.Show lessMental Wental
Does Not Work With Google Play Music
The program is great and the app works well to keep you on track and motivated. However, it only works with your iTunes library, meaning I can't use my Google Play Account with it. Add in that functionality and I will definitely give it 5 stars.Punkrockgoth
