Great free app. Easy to use

The app worked great. I had no issues.

Elegant and Simple

It just works. No subscriptions, and no ads. Gladly paid the one-time $3 for premium, but the app is absolutely useable without it. Very rarely am I so pleased with an app that I post an actual review, so I believe that says something!

The Only Free Couch to 5K App

We all need to appreciate Gary!! Every other couch to 5k app I tried was subscription based and didn’t let you go past a certain point without paying. This app is for the people and FREE! I paid the one time fee of $3.99 to support the developers. I think this is such an amazing app. Thanks Gary & team!

Excellent and free

This running app is all you need to learn how to run. I'd never been good at running, but now I can jog for 30 minutes straight and hopefully now will be a lifelong runner. Thank you so much, Gary! 🙏🏻

FAQ

What is Just Run?

Just Run is a workout application designed to help users start running and achieve specific distance goals. It offers structured training plans to guide users from beginner levels to completing a 5K or even a 10K.

What are the main training plans available?

The app features a 'Zero to 5K' plan that takes users from no running experience to a 5K in 9 weeks, with three 30-minute workouts per week. For those who can already run 5K, there's a '5K to 10K' plan that helps achieve 10K in 6 weeks.

How much does Just Run cost?

The core features of Just Run are available for free, and the app contains no advertisements. Users can choose to upgrade to Premium for additional features like more trainer voices and theme options.

Can I listen to music or podcasts while using the app?

Yes, the app is designed to work with other audio apps. Just Run will briefly lower the volume of your music, audiobook, or podcast when it's time to run or walk, ensuring you don't miss any prompts.

Does the app work when my screen is off?

Yes, Just Run runs in the background. You can turn off your screen or switch to another application, and you will still hear the audio prompts for when to run and walk.
