5K·10K is a simple, friendly running coach that takes you from the couch to your first 5K — and then all the way to 10K. Follow a proven run/walk plan, three short sessions a week. Each week you run a little more and walk a little less, until you can run a full 5K without stopping. When you're ready, the 10K plan picks up right where you left off. While you run, a little figure on screen moves in time with your real cadence, and clear audio cues tell you exactly when to jog and when to walk — so you can keep your phone in your pocket and just run.
