5K Runner: couch potato to 5K App Reviews

Review from 2016: using this app again to get my health and fitness back in shape since 2012. My review from 2012: Ive done 4 runs now and its been great for my wife and I, who have never been runners. Plan to buy the full version now. Using it to help train for a Tough Mudder event.

Nice that it tells me when to walk and run. The encouraging words make me smile.

Just started today and hope to be ready for my first marathon in Las Vegas in exactly one year from now!

This app turned me into a 5k runner! I absolutely love it.

Just the right intensity to get me started but not dead.

I am 9 years old but I love this app

I love the app so much. Only problem I have is that I downloaded 10k app and it is the same as the 5k app and that Ive done it already.

Love the voice prompts.

**UPDATE** I love this app!! I figured out how to keep the vocal encouragement on (lock the app - not the phone) and now it works perfectly! Im on week five and feeling great. Ive never been much of a runner, and this is building up my stamina and strength. Im looking so forward to getting out and running that Im doubling up the 3rd day and week and going 4x! Highly recommended!! Im enjoying the pace and encouragement. My only complaint is that the vocal encouragement disappears when the phone is locked. I get the taps on my watch, but I would like to hear what step Im on, as well. This is only day 2 for me - looking forward to seeing if this works!

This is a great app if youre starting from scratch. Voice prompts are super and keeps me motivated. Love that I can play my music while running.

This is a great app but one change could make it even better. Please allow the gps and timer to continue running when the workout has finished. I sometimes have to walk further home or I feel great and want to run 5 minutes further but it bugs me that it doesnt record my distance or offer me to continue workout.

Good to get started after a year of not working out

Love the app. So happy I bought it.

Simple and exactly does what it says.

Awesome app for beginners. Voice coach is pretty useful.

Im not a runner. This is run x dummies. Work for me.

Perfect way to start running

Thanks for a nice opportunity to build a perfect body with your app!!!

Fantastic app! Helped me sooo much

Easy to use with great results!
