Awesome App!

Very well developed app suite! Have all the levels and now I am on the 1/2 marathon! Thank you and my fitness thanks you!

Needs work

I loved the C to 5K program. I started this one because I thought it was ready for a little bit of a challenge. My issue is that when my phone is in my pocket it doesn't give me the vocal cues to run or walk. It vibrates but I can't really feel that while I'm running. It would also be convenient if they had some sort of cross training program on the cross training days.
Other than that I think it's a good program.

Great app

I recently decided to run a half marathon this December and needed some guidance on how to get there. I've ran between 3 and 4 miles a day 3 times a week, but this app gave me a game plan to make it happen.

Sort of OK

I see nowhere to enter my weight or height. The calorie counter seems to be quite off from my running wristwatch GPS. Nearly a 100 or so difference. The only thing I use this app for is to tell me when to run and when to walk. I do like the workout plans but their is no way to adjust the days. It is what it is.

Great for 1/2 marathon training

It's incredibly helpful to not have to worry about timing walk/jog intervals with this app to do it for me. It frees me up to worry about my form and staying hydrated. The app allows you music to play in the background. So that's great too.

Keeps Getting Better!!!

Love this app. I used Zen Labs C25K when I quit smoking, 10K Trainer to lose weight, and now I'm on the Half. This program is idiot proof and I actually look forward to the daily inspirations. It works beautifully with my playlists and I just won't run without it. Thanks for a constant awesome!!!

First half or coming back from an injury? This is PERFECT!

First of all, read the description before buying this app. This isn't an app that trains you to run a half marathon the whole time. It trains you do walk/run at a consistent time and pace the entire time. Once you know that, go read the research about how interval training is the way of the future and even professional runners are doing it. It's not for the weak.

I'm coming back from a torn ACL and 2 surgeries so I need to take it slow and be smart. This app is amazing for exactly that. I hate having to time myself during interval training and the built-in instructions make it so I don't have to. Add in some workout jams and I've got a perfect training partner.

I usually give up on these apps after a few tries. But I'm still going strong and that Napa Valley half is looking closer every day!

Back to running

Even though I've been away from running I always use this app when I need time to build up the miles.

Not what I expected based on 5k and 10K trainer

I used the 10K trainer to build up to running a 10K. I thought that this app would help me build up to running a half marathon, but it is only to help you ran/walk a half marathon. I am very disappointed in this app, and I usually like this company's apps. I'm also upset that I spent $9.99 on an app that wasn't what I expected. Now I'm going to have to use a different app and try to get over the fact that I wasted my money.

Adds in a paid app...

The actual running program isn't bad. But this app is reasonably expensive (as apps go), yet each morning I get an add when I open it. I pay for apps to avoid this as it annoys me, most of all when I'm trying to start a training session and rubbish pops up full screen - I don't care if it's your own apps, all you've done is made sure I won't look at them.

The layout is ok, there's a UI bug where if you have the music active through the app, at the end of a workout you can't close the workout as the music controls cover the ok button. There's a "hide" music controls button, but seriously, it's a poor design.
