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. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Couch to 5K (9 weeks) and a Couch to 10K plan • Run/walk intervals, week by week, with a built-in timer • A figure that moves at your real walking and running pace • Spoken cues for every interval — no need to look at the screen • Earn gems for the time you spend actually running • 7 languages: English, Persian, Spanish, French, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi • Two looks: clean modern or retro terminal, plus light & dark themes PRIVATE BY DESIGN • 100% offline — works with no internet • No account, no sign-up • No ads, no tracking.
