Fantastic

Do it! It’s changing my life for the better

Got me into running

When we did the 1.5k in school, I was third to last. Whilst all my friends got 5 minute times, I got 9:26. This made me want to run, but I had no idea how. After a quick search, the best way was couch to 5k. After 9 perfectly set out weeks, I can run for way longer than I thought I could do just 9 weeks ago. On my final run, I even went past the 30 minute mark and ran until 5k. It took me 36 minutes whilst being super windy and rainy. Might be able to do sub 30 minutes before Christmas

Amazing

Great advice never thought I would be able to run 30 mins no stop

Very good

Really helpful, encouragement without being patronising
Exceeding expectations

Great going

I have really enjoyed this app so far. Steve Cram is great really motivating. App easy to use

Great App!

I love it. It is really helpful for beginners which I was at a specific time. I highly recommend this app.

Unbelievable

The podcast coaches are unbelievable, they are supportive while motivating you to do your best. Great app!

Motivated and confidence booster

If I asked myself 9 weeks ago that I would have ran 5k just now I wouldn’t have believed you! I can’t believe that I have done it! It’s such a supportive app that doesn’t force you to do it and allows you to repeat runs and do it at your own pace. I’ve recommend it to everyone as it has helped me lose so much weight and given me the confidence and motivation to continue to be a runner.

Superb programme!

Superb programme and
Jo Whiley was an amazing
coach. The programme is gradual and thorough and you’re talked through the stages which is a fantastic support. Loved it. Even when I didn’t! Great to have completed it. 10k here we come!

Fantastic

I came to C25K to get back to running after an injury. It has been fantastic to help me build back up slowly and I am now running 5k injury free.

Can’t believe I did it

Great programme. Genuinely couldn’t run more than 20 seconds before this!

I LOVE THIS APP

Couldn’t recommend this app more if you want to get into running!!!

Don’t be nervous - great for beginners

In 8 weeks I went from not being able to complete the 3rd run of week 1 to running a 5k! I literally couldn’t run at all - never had any experience running - and it built my fitness and stamina right up. Don’t feel bad about repeating runs. I only completed it quicker because I did more than 3 runs a week. I’m so much healthier and fitter now than before I started. Nobody will judge you for running/walking/running. You’ve got this

Terrific

After my heart attack, this app got me running again. Thank you.

Thankyou for giving me the confidence

Amazing

Great

Never ran before, very over weight but managed to get through this app, without injury and without losing motivation. Can’t recommend this app enough!

Changed my life

I cannot thank this app enough for making me believe in myself and my physical ability. It’s given me a true sense of achievement and pushed me harder than I’ve ever tried before. Thank you! I’ve signed up for a half marathon to keep me going. Strongly recommend to anyone who believe they can’t, you can x

Can’t click past the new T&C

Has been working fine went out for a run but couldn’t click past the new terms and conditions. Please sort this bug.

App not working today since T&C update

Sadly when I opened my app I had a message about changes to T&Cs. Despite clicking through every single button and checking out everything the app now won’t open and allow me to run.

Annoying

Update lost my data as I couldn’t accept new term and conditions. I had to reload the apps and have now lost all my runs completed up to week 6. When you’re completing this it’s nice to go back and look at your hard work completed. Now I no record a feel like a failure.
