amazing
this app got me from struggling to run 3 mins in a school sports track to running 5k on steep hills. I’ve never felt better in myself and my body so i’m so grateful!
Fantastic
Fantastic support after physio recommendation to assist with progress after Achilles snap. Done during months9-10 to get back to running.
I love it
This is such a good app as it keeps you fit and healthy while you can improve your mental health. I love it
Didn’t realise how effective it would be!
I did my first 5k run and couldn’t believe it! Evidence it works! It took me longer than 9 weeks as I couldn’t fit three runs a week but still it helped me progress and survive the tough times. Thanks so much!
Amazing
Can’t believe I have just run 5k! At nearly 50 having never run and smoked for 30 years I never thought this would be possible. But the app is so supportive and takes you through every stage with encouragement. I can now say I am a runner. Thank you.
Amazing app
Loved it
Amazing
Has been so amazing, gives me such good motivation and the constant words of motivation when running really helps you get there.
Good but a bit eager
Great app, helped get me back running after a few years break during which I had a baby.
Only complaint is that the app tells you to have a day off between runs, and almost as soon as it gets past 48 hours from a run, you get a very condescending notification telling you how daunting it must be to run again after a break. A break it tells you to have. I think that a gentle ‘got time for a run?’ On 2nd day would be better.

Inspired and motivated
At first I was dreading running but this app supported me and inspired me to keep going. Never been more confident in running. Super proud of graduating. Will definitely continue with this journey. Highly recommended! ☺️🏃♀️
Great app, with effective incremental steps for progress
This is a very straightforward app which I’ve used alongside Strava to develop running ability and stamina. Did it with teenage sons (one at a time, one headphone each 🤣) and found it really helpful in encouraging gradual progress. Have just finished it with the second son and we both found it very useful.
Also used Spotify so we had music to run to.

Consistency
Couch to 5k has taken a 22stone former smoker to being able to run for 30mins continuously, when I started I didn’t think it would be possible but have just finished the programme and achieved that goal
So helpful
Amazing, it helped me so much! I’d never have done the 5k without this app
Thank you NHS
So proud to be an employee of an incredible NHS and a graduate of this programme…Thank you so much, my NHS…
Get off the couch people as running is fun and fun is good
Great coup with Steve Cram as virtual coach
Why not get a video of the coach an avatar
Surely did motivate me
Positive affirmations are the way

Took a few years but finished!
No way would I have continued running without this app. I tried some others and tried different coaches in this app. In the end it was Steve Cram who got me over the finish line.
Excellent. Beyond my expectations.
Started couch to 5km with low expectations as I have arthritis but this has helped me a lot. I am now running and loving it. It also massively improved my overall mental health and mood.
Amazing
This completly changed my life after having a baby. Got my fitness levels up at times that suited me. Shout out to Denise Lewis for being the best coach
The Perfect Starting Point
Exercise wise I’ve never finished anything properly. However, I finally achieved something with this app. If you said I’d run a 30 minute 5k in 9 weeks time I wouldn’t have believed you, but this process sets you up perfectly. Even at the beginning when they tell you the next run will involve 5, 8 or 10 minute runs I was dreading the increase but you just flow through it with this progressive build up. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and chuffed I finished it. Recommend this to anyone looking to start running.

Got me running for the 2nd time!!
This app truly delivers results! I used it once during Covid and again 6 years later. Denise, the coach talked me through each step. Before I completed the programme, I was able run 5K and even ran a 5K race - something I thought I’d never do!
