With three enjoyable workouts a week, in nine weeks you will be running continuously for half an hour, even if getting off the couch is a struggle today!
Get Running breaks through the “beginning barrier” with its enormously popular Couch to 5k running plan. In week one’s workouts you'll alternate one minute of running with 90 seconds of walking. With each new week, Get Running’s human voice coach gradually builds up your pace, until you’re running for a whole half-hour!
Get Running is the only Couch to 5K App that:
• Coaches like a human – with hundreds of studio-recorded progress and encouragement prompts.
• Supports and encourages you – talk with fellow running rookies on the Get Running forum.
• Lets you share (NEW!) – share Get Running with up to three other runners: you all get your own log and settings!
• Helps you plan – rest days help you recover, and Get Running knows the best day for your next run.
• Displays your next move – the unique Run Clock, customised for each workout, gives complete visibility and understanding.
In addition, Get Running:
• Publishes your success – send updates to Twitter or Facebook, and have your friends remind you when the next run is due!
• Works with or without music – To adjust your music during a run, double press the Home button.
• Fits your schedule – just three workouts a week of 20 to 30 minutes.
• Logs your achievements – with an illuminating visual record of your progress.
Thousands of people have changed their lives with Get Running and you will too! Whether you’re running for your health, training for a 5K, or building to conquer a marathon — Get Running!
Get Running's users say:
• Just finished week 9 run 3 and all I can say is this app changed my life. Great job.
• I LOVE your app. I have tried several but Yours is the BEST for me. I am 60 years young this year & a cancer survivor. I have set the goal to run 5 K races. I use your program as my trainer, it is SUPER. Thank You. – Vickie Wheeler by email
• I tried the top selling "Couch to 5k" App before I purchased this one, and this one is much nicer to use. The voice reminders are very helpful. I like how it pauses your music instead of talking over it. I highly recommend it over the others.
• Thank you so much for this little gem of an app. I had a look at others like it but this wins hands down. It is so brilliantly simple with a great interface.
• Thank you! This app has changed my life. I was unfit and didn't do any regular exercise. I always blamed my asthma for being the reason I couldn't run for longer than a minute, but now I know it's because I was unfit! I have signed up for a 5k race too! – @amyriddett on Twitter
• Really great app. I'm actually looking forward to running. I listen to podcasts and this app is terrific at pausing the show to make it's announcements. I don't miss anything that was said. Outstanding.

I love it and have used it many times over the years. I tend to run for a while and then get lazy and stop for a long period of time. So then I go back to this app. I’ve completed the training twice and I quit it once. It’s still amazes me that it’s so hard to run for a short period of time when I start the training but by the end I’m running a 5k non-stop!
I love it

BUT I LOVE THIS APP SO MUCH. It was exactly what I needed to start a running routine without letting myself down by burning out. The incremental buildup of endurance has rekindle my love of exercise, but also helped me develop greater discipline mentally. Also the nice British lady is very encouraging :)

I did this app a few years ago. In no time I was running my first 5K, I lost weight and was toned up. I had a few difficult years ( emotional times with great losses ) and fell away from running. I am back at it with this app starting from week 1 I set a bucket list of 5K runs from Michigan to Minnesota to Florida. I am going to be 65 and I know I can do the 5K. Who knows maybe 10K.
Got me running again :-)

Great app. I’m not a natural runner, and have been out of it for years. I’d try to fire up, pull a muscle and quit. Repeat every year. Thanks to lovely English lady, I’ve been running for three weeks and it’s just starting to feel good. Stoked to be running again, can’t wait for my body to transform
Great app!

This has helped me so much! You build up gradually and before you know it you can run!!
Works Really Well

I started off looking at apps like C2K5 and 5K Runner, but am pleased with this one. It is not as flashy or featured packed as some others but the simplicity is one of the reasons why it works so well. Voice prompts are great and well timed and the week by week pacing is just right. My only request, so far, is that I wish there was an Apple Watch app. I’d really like to do quick visual checks of my progress in each run without getting my phone out, unlocking it, opening the app etc. A glance at my wrist would be much more convenient. ??
