I was NOT a runner – Couch to 5K® - Run training Review

I hate running. Never understood the healthnuts that raved about it. I credit this app with getting me off the couch and giving this whole jogging thing a go. I love that you can pick between your coaches- not everyone is motivated by the same coach- do you need the ball-busting Military general yelling in your ear, or the ever-positive Runicorn? I love that you start running in intervals. I had no idea that runners didn't just leap from the womb running for miles on end. It's something you build up to. You may not be able to run for 30 minutes straight, but I'll bet you can run for one minute, right? Once you've run for one minute, walk a while and then try to run for two minutes. You didn't die right? This is how you start. It's an amazing program. I never thought I'd consider myself a runner. Once you get past the first "wall" and feel that runner's "high" you will be HOOKED. When I get stressed, depressed, angry - I put on my running shoes. Seriously great app. I wish there was an option to hear more from your coaches. As it stands, they interject motivational phrases once per run. I know it's AI, but I would love them to chat more. Some people would hate that- point is, it would be a nice option. I also find that the workouts are too short and I am constantly hitting the back button to give myself more intervals. I wish there was an option for longer workouts (more intervals) - while keeping the intervals the same length.
