Changed my life!

A few months ago, I couldn’t run for even a mile straight. Yesterday I ran my first 5k without stopping! I can’t even explain how amazing this app is, it’s the only thing that has kept me consistent and it’s free! I have made such amazing progress because of this app and now I’m moving on to the 5k to 10k program. Thank you so much for making this app Gary!

Exactly what I want

Perfect app to train for a 5k. All the things I want and no extra junk, no subscription required

An app that actually works

No extortionate monetisation, just an app that does what it says on the tin. It teaches you to run. I love it.

Great App, Also, IT’S FREE!

I really like this app. It is free. You can if you want to purchase a one time 3.99 thing that will let you use different colors and voices. I love that it’s completely optional though. I haven’t finished the program yet but so far I think it will really help me be able to run a 5k. If you finish the 5k program (or have finished a 5k program) there’s also a 10k program. I’ll be doing that once I’m done my 5k. I spent forever trying to find a free running app and I know that it’s nice if a review just says “IT’S FREE”. No need to read on! Oh! I almost forgot; there are no ads. The only thing I don’t like about this program is that the beginning is a little easy and you have to pay that 3.99 to get a lock screen pop up. If you decide not to pay (like me) then you have to open your phone and go into the app to see how much time is left on your workout. Sorry about the really long review, bottom line is I’d download this for sure especially if you want a free running app.

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.
