5K Runner: couch potato to 5K

You open app, you answer questions that are supposed to make you to feel like you will get personalized training and then you are immediately asked for money.
You can’t or it’s not easy to use app for free.

I’m on my 5° week of training. I miss settings that would consider the treadmill. And the watch is disconfigured. I start it at the same same as the treadmill counter and by the end of the training the app is delayed about 20 seconds. I’ve tried different treadmills at the gym and compared to my smart watch and they seem to be alright.

Been using it for years now and absolutely love it!
I really like you can just repeat lessons wen you feel your not ready for the next step, it helped me take it slow and actually run even wen I thought I wasn’t able too run at all.
Every time I fall of the running wagon because of injuries, moving or other stressful situation in my life I use this app too started again.
I highly recommend this app!

It's a great app, however its a bit frustrating that it doesn't use the hearth monitor from the apple watch, it would be great to be able to see the BPMs and distance on screen while running.

Good to get started but lifetime access stay fit workloads don’t work on Apple Watch which sucks.

I am using the app on the Apple Watch.
Currently at week 2 day 3.
The app is showing I am still at week 1 day 3 (wrong). Also, the app and the iPhone would show a different running plan for the same day and same week.
For 50€ I would not expect this isssues at all…

Loved the feedback while I did my fist day.
Will be running in a couple of days again. Will send an updated report in the near future DV.

I never write reviews but I had to one this one. I swear you guys, this app made me start running and I was running 4K by the second run. Works great. Missing 0.5 star for how expensive it is…

The app is a well built tool to build up your stamina gradually, however: there are so many non functioning features like seamless data sharing between apple watch and iPhone, sound not working on the apple watch, no information about posture/breathing etc.. besides that it will also not show your heart rates and heart rate zones. I’m glad I can run 5k now, but for the remainder of my journey I will go with another app.

Love this app, easy to follow while still listening to your podcast or music during your run. Training schedule is great and there is room for optimization.

Heerlijk geleidelijk programma als je helemaal opnieuw moet beginnen. Geen overbelasting, waardoor de motivatie blijft.

I never really stuck with any sport and this has worked! I also kept up with the trainings past the 5k goal. Recommend

App got me from never running more than 100m to being trained up to trek the Himalayas, and when I came back keeping up momentum to do a half marathon. Using it now to interval train my times down. What this app does do is get you out the front door. That you have to do yourself. Tip:don’t over train. Even if you think you can do more.

I have been using this app 2 years now. I like the build up though I personally haven’t reached the 5k yet. There is a point that the build up goes rather fast. I look forward to getting over that point this year.
It is easy to navigate in the trainings and choose what fits each time even though that is not what you are meant to do.

Hele fijne app. Ik ben eerder dit jaar als complete hardloopnoob begonnen met de Hardlopen met Evy app, maar de opbouw daarvan was veel en veel te snel. Op een gegeven moment moest ik trainingen 3 tot 4 keer herhalen voor ik het idee had dat ik door kon naar de volgende… en dan nog. De 5K running app doet wél precies war hij belooft: heel erg geleidelijk opbouwen zodat zelfs de ergste couch potato in beweging kan komen zonder na drie weken om te vallen. Aanrader!

Although there is an app for the Apple Watch, it’s not very intuitive. When I use the app on my watch, I do not get any sound feedback on my apple AirPods. I also want to be able to track the progress when I pull out my phone, but it’s not visible there. I would have to start a workout on both devices at the same time. And vice versa. I should be able to see the progress of my workout on my watch, even if I start the workout on my iPhone.

Best app of you have to build up running.
This app is designed to get from 0 to 5k, from bing watching to a 5k runner, no other app I have tried is doing that is such a way that you really get better every run while keep in mind that you have to build up from 0.
Absolute 5 star app!

Love this app. It’s simple. It gives you enough of a workout and it’s actually helped me start running again
