Loved it, but disappointed

I got 3 weeks done, really invested, and now it’s demanding a subscription. So disappointed, I loved using it.

Squats? Skipping?

5k is about running. Who is doing squats and skipping in the streets in the UK?

Fun app

This app has me out walking, I’ll be running slow soon. I enjoy the different character as I’m listing. If you looking for something different or to help you get started this is it.
