Praise "The popular Couch to 5K app helps new runners avoid injury from doing too much, too soon." —Runners World, June 2012 "It's ridiculously easy to use (it's hard not to, as you just do what you're told) and it's fantastic that you have an encouraging voice talking you through things." —Engadget, June 2012 "Active.com’s Couch to 5K is one of my favorite… apps. With its customizable features, interactivity, and well-rounded interface, I may actually stay off the couch this time." —148Apps, October 2011 "I knew as soon as I decided to start the Couch to 5K program that I would need something to keep me accountable—not just to showing up for my training, but to actually doing it properly. Of course there’s an app for that." —CalorieLab, April 2012 "If you have been struggling to get your buns off the couch and somewhat in shape before the summer hits, training for a 5K is not a bad way to start. If you are looking for a program to help get you there, then the “Couch to 5K” running plan by CoolRunning is probably your best bet if you haven’t done an ounce of athletic activity for a number of years." —Droid Life, April 2012 FAQ • Once you purchase the app, it is yours to keep. It does not expire after 9 weeks.}

This is my second or third time even starting back up and it really gradually gets you into shape and gives you the confidence to go all the way!

I’ve never actually run the 5K, but thanks to this app I now run farther than I ever thought I would be able to. And I fully believe that I CAN run the 5K thanks to how this app steps me up to it. I just have to find the willpower to stick with it. Grateful for this tool. Johnny Dead is the best.

Jeg synes appen er nem at benytte, samtidig med at den gør det overskueligt at træne sig op til at kunne løbe 5 km.

Super appli pour démarrer la course à pied quand on aime pas ça comme moi et que courir plus de 2 mn est effrayant. Le programme est progressif et adapté, et rien n’empêche de refaire plusieurs fois la même étape. J’aime bien aussi le fait que les courses soient enregistrées avec quelques données type vitesse ou distance parcourue. Pour le prix vraiment ça vaut la peine.

As a guy in his mid 40’s deciding to finally move and get into running, this app is perfect for beginners. Especially at $4.99

I really enjoyed this app back in 2017 and I went to get it again and noticed not much has changed. Really wish there was a Spotify connection for music and playlist and I wish the coaches interface felt a bit less 2D. The voices and set up are really cool but I think offering tips for beginners would help as well as joint protection advice.

Recommitted to improving my health after a cancer scare. This app makes it easy. Combined with a good nutrition plan this app pushes you to burn more calories than you thought possible. Weight is finally coming off

Je n’ai pas couru depuis des années, et j’aime beaucoup le rythme du programme de cette application! Ce n’est pas décourageant dès le départ puisque les intervalles sont courts et adaptés

I love this app. I literally went from the Couch to a 5K. I finished the program once and now I’m going back and redoing it at a faster pace with an incline on the treadmill. It’s just a really good app. You can listen to your own music. It’s awesome. And, best part- it’s FREE!!!!!
