Great app to guide your running!

This is a great free app to guide your running! I wish the app would show information on iPhone's screen (e.g. how much time remains in the current segment, total amount of time remaining) even when the phone is locked. Otherwise, users have to unlock the phone in order to see the information. The C25K app does that, which is convenient.

Nevertheless, this a great app! Highly recommended!

This one actually works

For the first time in my life(I’m nearing 50), I have been able to run 2 kms at a stretch. This app made it possible. Heartily recommend.

Really great app

I really love your app! I just wanted to bring to your attention that the time is not adding up with the running on week 2/ Day 1. I start my watch and the app at the same time, and the first three days they matched, but when doing week 2/ day 1 training my watch said I ran for 25 minutes while the app only said I only ran for 23.5, I don’t know if maybe an Ad hit in the middle of the last effort of running but something was off, and I will say the last effort of 1.5 minutes of running felt REALLY long and the track I was running on I had figured up that I could run the whole track all the way till when I started running.

Other than that I have loved the app and I plan to continue using it!
