Just Run is a simple workout app to help you get running. I made this app to get myself off the couch and start running to get to 5K. Stick to the workout plan, and you'll be able to run 5K in 9 weeks. It really does work! If you're already able to run 5K, Just Run also has a 6-week plan to help you get up to 10K! WORKOUT PLANS: - Zero to 5K: Gets you from absolute zero running experience to 5K in just 9 weeks, with three 30-minute workouts per week - 5K to 10K: If you can already run 5K, or have finished Zero to 5K, this plan gets you to 10K in only 6 weeks FEATURES: - Target dates for each workout, calculated based on your progress, and optimal exercise days - Choose from multiple trainer voices, which tell you exactly when to run and walk - No ads! Ads are no fun, so Just Run has no ads! - Works with music, audiobook and podcast apps - Just Run will briefly lower the volume of the other app when prompting you to run and walk, so you'll never miss a prompt - Runs in the background. Turn off your screen, or switch to another app, and you'll still hear the run and walk prompts - Upgrade to Premium to get more trainer voices, multiple theme options, and to support continued development of Just Run I'd love to hear how you're getting on with Just Run.
