I have been thinking of starting the couch to 5k but am looking for an app for my iPhone. The only problem is there are a ton of them listed. Anybody have any experience with any that they like or dislike?

    I have couch to 5K on my droid razor and I believe it costs $1.99. You can add your running music to it. It's great

    I use the RunDouble app. It is great! The only catch is that after the first two weeks, it costs 1.99 I think it is worth it though!

    I have the RunDouble app and you get a free two week trial and then to buy the whole thing it is $1.60.

    I am on week 2 day 2 now, and I love it. Plays my music in the background and everything.

    Good Luck!!

    I have the C25K app for iphone, I believe it was $1.99. Totally worth it though. I am starting Week 6 tomorrow!

    You can also download the C to 10k app that looks similar.

    I use jog log. It has c25k built in, plays your own ipod music, provides voice prompts. You can also make up your own workouts, set music to specific segments etc. The only drawback I have found so far, was that a couple of the weeks don't match the official c25k workout. I emailed them on 1 and they corrected with the next update (week 6 day 1 I think) - the others, I just copied the workout and corrected it on my own.

    "Ease into 5k" is what I use and its going really well, It's free to start but you can buy a $0.99 upgrade that allows you to use the GPS to Keep track out your route, speed, and distance and By entering your weight and such it give you a rough guess about Cal. burned. Its by "Bluefin Software" try it out!!!

    I used a free one and it worked great - c25kFREE by Zen Labs. Easy to follow, lets you play your own music if you like, no problems.

    I use C25K by Zen labs. It is free and has the whole plan included. You can also play your own music and it will mute the music when it gives you the voice prompts.

    I have the active.com C25K one. Its 1.99 but I think its totally worth it. It keeps track of time for you and lets you know when to walk/jog/cool down. And the gps tracks your distance and maps your route! You can make a music playlist or I used pandora in the background and it worked fine. Plus the trainer voices are funny :)

    I use C25K FREE too and it is awesome. It plays your music for you and beeps and talks to you when to walk or run
