Couch to 5k app

I use the 5k runner app

I listen to the podcasts as I'm doing it. I find it easier than the apps because I never know what music to listen to when running, but that's just me :bigsmile:

I use C25K free. It works great for what I need.

I'm starting Couch to 5k on monday - anticipating a 12 week work up vs the 8 or 9. I didn't know there were apps - what do they do?

I just started this week... Week 1 Day 1 completed!

I have the one from zenlabs (C25K) and have it on both my phone (android) and Ipod touch. IDK I downloaded on both just in case my battery dies on my ipod and don't notice before I hit the gym LOL , no excuses. I like zenlabs version because you can be listening to music on your ipod and it will have a voice prompt that says when to run, walk, and even when your at the your half way point. And then you can share your progress on facebook or twitter...


Best of luck when you start... You Got this!

I use the app couch-to-5k by active.com. I think the app was free or a buck or two.

I love it, you can play your own music with it and you can post your workout to facebook if you want. It also has gps and tracks how far you run.

I'm on week 9 and run my first 5k race on 6/16.

Good luck! I've never been a runner and now I can run 5k in about 34 min!

NHS podcasts.

heya, i use couch to 5k app for iphone, i love it! if you get stuck on a level you just do it again till your satisfied ( or if you cheated the first time :P), feel free to add me help you threw it

Can you use the app if you are 30 pounds overweight?

Are overweight people not allowed to run? Of course you can; it's geared for everyone. There are alot of people on here that use it. Search the threads I do believe there are groups following each other.

LOL! I just always had this mantra- no running until I get under 200. (17 lbs until then) I thought it would be to hard on the knees.

Hey!! I use the "Runtastic" app and absolutely LOVE it!!:)) I actually upgraded to the deluxe app. It' shows you your distance, calories burned, tracks your progress AND you can get "cheers" from your friends on fb and you can hear it on your phone as you're running!:))

Good luck to you!!:))

I started C25k when I was over 200. Now I am 147 and just came back from my 6 mile run. I never would have made it to this point with out C25k. Very useful tool.

Now that I am beyond that and working towards my first half-marathon, I use another free app called ENDOMONDO. It uses GPS to track my workouts (running and cycling), had an optional coach to come on each mile and tell you time/distance etc. I LOVE IT!

I use a free c25k app. I love it because I can run while listening to music and the prompts still work. Also if i'm on my treadmill watching movies while I walk/run, the app will flash green or red for walking or running. That way I can see it out of the corner of my eye to know it's time to run and use my 'movie' earbuds instead of listening for the phone.

I just downloaded the iphone couch to 5k app. Im hopefully going to start tomorrow if it doesnt rain lol.

Hi

Is anyone doing the couch to 5k and, if so, do you use an app? If so, what would you recommend?
