Great Free App!

I found and downloaded this app after wanting to get back into running and realizing couch to 5k is no longer free. I was so disappointed one of my favorite apps was now forcing you to pay. I downloaded this app on a whim and it is GREAT! Probably cleaner and more straightforward than couch to 5k and love that it’s free! Thanks for creating!

This is what goal-based fitness apps should be

I’m back to running 5K from a one year hiatus. I wanted a streamlined app that was easy to use and straightforward for intervals. This app is wonderful, and I love that you can progress further to the 10K. Just enough in it to personalize it, but no ads and no glitches. Love it.

Great to ease into running

I’m just about done with Week 5 but so far this app has been fantastic. It’s well structured and helps to build your endurance and distance gradually without overdoing it. I only wish I had started running sooner but better late than never!

I highly recommend this app and you will see results if you dedicate the time and effort into following the program!

Easy but hard

This plan is very easy to follow along and no ads to boot. Every thing ran smoothly and using it in the Apple Watch is a breeze. As a person who has not ran in almost 40 years, I found this plan, using the app, easy to learn but the runs are always very hard. But in a good way. I’m encouraged to go further.

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.
