What used to be C25K

This app is simple and well made. I was coming back to running and discovered that my previous app was an expensive mess now days. Luckily someone recommended this one to me.

Exactly what I needed

Super simple, easy to use app. No unnecessary frills, just a focused plan that helps keep me on track. Love the halfway “turn around” feature so I don’t even need to think about it.

Good affordable option!

Loving using this app, the free version is just as good as some of the other expensive apps out there.

Amazing running app!

This is my first app review, I’m so impressed by how good Just Run is for beginner runners. I didn’t enjoy the “motivational” coaching with the Couch to 5k app I found it really cringe and distracting. This app is really simple, gives a structured plan each week and doesn’t pause your music for long when alerting on breaks and when you’re halfway. So glad I found this app as it’s helped me progress with my running journey!

Amazing app

Everything about this app is exactly what I needed love it! in the beginning It was a little difficult learning to control my breathing was a big part. I’m now on week four I can run for even longer than the session asks for. I don’t get any cramps. Which I didn’t even know it was possible lol. No ads or subscription is basically impossible this day and age so very much appreciated. Thank you!
