Get Running for Positive User Reviews
✓ Best simple running appThis app got me from not running to running a half an hour non stop. There something great and encouraging about the voice. Maybe it's the British accent. Not a lot of talking in between, just enough to keep you motivated..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great AppI have been using this app for about 3 months (repeated a few weeks after holidays etc) and can now run 4km. It does not track distance but the calm female voice gives you clear instructions for your timed intervals. I like how each day is different once you reach 6 weeks, for example, you might run 20 mins straight one day or 8 & 5 min intervals the next. You can also listen to music or a podcast and the app pauses or lowers the volume depending on your settings..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Infinitely relistenableI love this app. My favorite running Buddy and I love the accent of the narrator. It’s easy to use and has just the right progression to get me running again every time. I always have to work up to running if I’ve paused, and this app makes it a pleasure..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Love love love this appI’ve recommended to several friends and they love it too. It’s design in a way that keeps pushing you to run more each time..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great Encouraging AppEasy to use. Only improvement would be GPS so I don't have to open MapMyRun to track actual distance..Version: 1.12.1
✓ So far it's greatI have only done one week but I hope this will help me stick with it and take the time to build up gradually enough that my knees stay healthy.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Love it!!I downloaded this app 8 yrs ago. It got me to my first 5k, and motivated me to run half marathons. I have since not run as often as I should, I have downloaded many apps but always go back to this one when I need to get myself back to three miles. The calm, encouraging tones, the manageable expectations make it easy and amazing. I never even realize I am running as far as I am!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Fitness and stamina has been transformed - now up to week 9!Absolutely brilliant app! This is the only running app I have used and I have been extremely happy with it ever since the first session. I am now at the end of week 8, having got up to 28 mins, and my next run is the elusive 30 mins. I will be sad to stop using the app, although may keep it on the last week forever just to have the encouragement of the posh lady whilst I run. The beginning was an excellent introduction, with the interval style training gradually building up and I found it very copeable to progress. I have never been able to run nonstop longer than 15 minutes and now I'm up to 30. Amazing! My stamina and recovery rate has been transformed, and after a minute of warming down, I am no longer out of breath. Phenomenal! I also worked out the exact running distance I was covering and lo and behold it was exactly 5 K. I never write reviews, but this app has transformed my fitness, helped me lose weight and shape up, so promised myself that I would review this product so others could benefit . BUY IT!.Version: 0
✓ Works Really WellI started off looking at apps like C2K5 and 5K Runner, but am pleased with this one. It is not as flashy or featured packed as some others but the simplicity is one of the reasons why it works so well. Voice prompts are great and well timed and the week by week pacing is just right. My only request, so far, is that I wish there was an Apple Watch app. I’d really like to do quick visual checks of my progress in each run without getting my phone out, unlocking it, opening the app etc. A glance at my wrist would be much more convenient. 🙏🏻.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Potentially life changing.I'm a Couch to 5k graduate, so I can personally vouch for this app and its life changing potential. I never liked running. I was always terrible at it. I couldn't keep up when we did distance running at school, and I never got any better as an adult. I could never get motivated. I first downloaded this application for my iPhone in July 2010. I struggled on the early stages - I couldn't even run solidly for three minutes back then. I don't know whether it was a fitness thing or a mental block, but either way, I couldn't do it. I started the program, then stopped. This happened a few times. Finally, I committed myself to getting to 5k and began using the app seriously. I used a treadmill until I could run for about twenty minutes, then switched to road running (I thought road running would be much harder, but was actually surprised how much faster I became once I ditched the treadmill!) This program is challenging at times but not particularly difficult. The app works perfectly; the voice is encouraging but not intrusive. The waypoints come in at exactly the right moments. I owe this simple application a lot; I actually enjoy running now (I'm of the opinion that people only dislike running when they can't really do it - that was certainly the case for me). I feel great! Best money you'll ever spend. Stop reading and get running!.Version: 1.9
✓ Life changing appThanks to this app I went from barely able to run a couple of minutes straight to comfortably running a full half hour within a couple of months. The couch to 5k programme really does work. The voice over is helpful and encouraging without being intrusive, and I liked being able to see my progress through the weeks. Amazing app, and please make a 10km version!.Version: 1.9
✓ Get running App.I’ve used this App around five/six years ago and it is absolutely brilliant. I’ve always wanted to run but didn’t have the strength and ability at the time. It’s brilliantly paced with a friendly voice and visually well mapped out so that it doesn’t overwhelm you and you feel that your goal is achievable. I found that it’s best running app to get you running. I started from being a non runner to eventually doing over 10Ks on weekends and even my first Great North Run in 2019.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Best C25K App EverLove this app - one of the cool features is that you can go back and re-run past weeks at any point, so if you need to re-start or just need to re-do a week, you can. For the GPS, get the Nike Running app (it's free -- tracks your GPS, miles, and notes on the run) Unfortunately, they don't plan a 5k-10kapp :(.Version: 1.9
✓ Great appWhat a fantastic app. I love how easy it is to use and it really does start from a low fitness level and build you up well..Version: 1.9
✓ Almost there!Love this app... Certainly keeps me motivated and committed to the runs. I had another version with an annoying American voice, find this one much easier to listen to. I just wish I could access my music from the get running page, but as the runs got longer I just left the screen open on iTunes. Looking forward to 5pm!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ I only ran when someone was chasing me... until this App.I only ran when someone was chasing me... until this App. This app helped me go from zero to 5k. It was thee key to me becoming a runner. Fantastic app..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Easy to useStarted with this now running around 10k each day. Easy to use and works..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Love it - favorite app!!!After years of trying and failing to get back into regular exercise, this app has been life-changing! Now, rather than attempting a run and either feeling horrible for getting puffed or overdoing it and being sore for days after, this app has given me clear and achievable goals that challenge me - from baby steps to the full 5k! I found that after a few sessions my fitness and overall energy had improved dramatically, as had my mood: the voice encouragement is so motivational and I find I just can't wait to achieve my next run!! Thank you for bringing the fun and enjoyment back into being healthy and fit!! :).Version: 0
✓ Couch to 5kmA motivating and simple application that kept me on task and dedicated to each session. I especially enjoy being coached while exercising..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Very usefulGreat program, easy to use. Helps me look fwd to next runs. Fun interface. One drawback - can't enter runs in if you forget - have to record them as occurring on the date you record..Version: 1.9
✓ Great appFantastic app, first week done using this app and I like how it’s very gentle over playing music with the instructions. Simple yet effective..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great for beginnersI would have given a five if it was compatible with Apple Watch.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Working for me!I'm only on week 2 of using this App., starting from being an older, very unfit (to the point of feeling conspicuously stupid just going outdoors in my new running gear!), computer bound couch potato in a hot and humid environment. The App. is simple and encouraging to use and I prefer to have podcasts running in the background which pauses when the pleasant voice of the App. coach gives an instruction, i.e., "30 seconds left to run before you can walk again." I'll try and remember to write an update in a few weeks time..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Get RunningGreat! Awesome! Fantastic! From self confessed couch potato to jogger and I've only just finished week 3! Last time I tried to get into jogging I ended up with terrible shin splints as I did too much too quickly. 3 weeks done and not a sign of a problem!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Never thought I’d be a runnerRunning was always the thing I couldn’t do... I wasn’t particularly athletic but did do other sports to some degree. I always envied people who could “go for a run“ and actually enjoyed it. Never thought it would be for me. Now, bit by bit, it is. Thank you!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great app!And Great app to get start or get back at running. Used this and was able to run my first 5 K at 50 years old! was able to run my first 5 K at 50 years old!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Effective programThis program works, but you have to actually do it consistently. Don’t skip runs..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Gets you over the starting hump with easeI’ve had this app on my phone since about 2011, I’ve gone through the program several times including pre and post cardiac surgery. I really struggle to develop long term exercise habits and soon find myself slipping back to old ways after about 6 months, every time I pick up fitness again, this is my goto app, and every time I’m shocked how effective this is. Currently just finished run 3 of week one, I could barely do the first run, run 3 was Moto only easier and I know this app will deliver me to the 5k goal with ease.Version: 1.12.1
✓ My favourite app!I’ve tried a number of running apps but this is by far my favourite! I love the voice of the coach, I love that my music still runs in the background while she talks, I love that it’s so easy to use! Thank you to the creators!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great App - just wish so much they would make an Apple Watch versionThis is my favourite running app by far and I’ve used it for years. Unfortunately I don’t find myself using it much anymore because I run with my Apple Watch rather than lugging around my phone. It makes me so sad that there isn’t a version of it for my watch. Please, please make a watch version!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Try it. It works!This app has been a big help, for a committed non-runner.Version: 1.11.0
✓ Very very very good!Nine weeks ago I really was incapable of running more than a couple of minutes. Thanks to this App I now run 30 minutes three times a week and feel great. It does exactly as it promises - couch to 5 k. In my case I consider this to be a miracle since I'm already 57 years old. if I can do it then surely anyone can . I highly recommend this App to any couch potatoes wanting to run. It is well structured, works well with music playing on your iPod, and motivates you. You will experience a minor amount of discomfort when you go into the transitional period during weeks 5,6 and 7, but stick with it and your efforts will be rewarded. The information provided on running is also really useful..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Great appJust finished my last run :( Loved it!!!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Best training to run app!!!!!!I am using this app to train to run again after sustaining leg features this summer and this app is the greatest!!!!! It encourages you all along the way!!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ MotivationalVery good app. Motivates me and now 1.5 weeks in look forward to my next run :o.Version: 1.8.3
✓ ExcellentLoved this app, I could NOT run for 30 seconds before I was exhausted, I can now run 25 minutes and I'm thrilled!.Version: 1.9
✓ Great for beginners!A great app for people who want to start running, but do it slowly and without a great risk of injury. A lovely woman's voice plays over your own choice of music and gives you encouragement and guidance during your exercise. I like that the emphasis is not necessarily on the distance you are covering, but more about training your body to run for greater lengths of time - sure the speed and distance comes later! Would highly recommend to those who want to be able to run, but don't think you can. The steps are logical and well paced. The website also has a great forum for runners to share their experiences and ask questions..Version: 1.9
✓ Best couch to 5K appBest couch to 5k app I have ever used. Easy to use and motivational with a nice countdown when you run.Version: 1.12.1
✓ AwesomeLove the app, it is non-intrusive and it will pause my podcasts instead of talking over them when it gives 30 and 10 second warnings..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great appLove it! I'm 60 and never thought I could do this- but I have!! Thank you.Version: 1.8.3
✓ I can run!Being a walker (aka non-runner) i find this app is challenging but the gradual increase in difficultly is allowing me to progress. The coaching is encouraging but not annoying and the settings available are great. Thanks!.Version: 1.9
✓ This app changed my life so it deserves a reviewBest thing about this app is the lovely narrator who adds in words of encouragement that really gets you going especially near the near of the intervals. Better than a lot of the others I've tried.Version: 1.9
✓ Great App!This app makes beginning running easier!!! I just stick to the schedule and get better each day!!!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great applicationReally love it! It helps me to start running and keep running!.Version: 0
✓ Really works!This app is great. It takes the thinking out of increasing your fitness. I found the idea of running 30 mins daunting, but now I've finished week 5 and I'm running 20 mins. The coaching is great, with a pleasant voice, and I like that I can play my music in the background. This app is very easy to use and well worth the cost - heaps cheaper than personal training fees! I used to have to force myself to run, now I really look forward to it. If you want to get fit, get this app..Version: 1.8.3
✓ All the stuff you need and none of the stuff you don’tNo extra crap like Fitbit integration or calorie counting. Just voice cues for when to start and stop running, with simple customization options..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Get runningGreat app, easy to work able to listen to music while exercising enjoying the start and excited to achieve goal.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Love this app, am I an Anglophile?There’s something about the coach’s soothing British voice that makes me smile, even when I feel like giving up. That said, sometimes I get excited or hopeful when she starts speaking, only to be disappointed that I have 45 seconds MORE of exertion 🙂. Other than that, I’ve used this app a couple times over the last few years to get back into cardio health after pregnancy and general laziness. I’ve even used the interval prompts for things like jumping rope, kettle ball swings and other calistenthics as a workout when I can’t run..Version: 1.12.1
✓ It works!So easy! Just follow the instructions and in no time you will be running 30 minutes straight..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Safely healhtier and fitterThis app really works for me. I am overweight and out of shape and really need to find a simple practical way to get some cardio vascular fitness without all the preaching and rah rah. This app is just so well thought out and executed that doing it is very easy. I have my chosen music playing in the background and the prompts let me know how much time it is before the next change happens. And I can and do pause the program where I need to so I am not running uphill and taking me into overexertion that I am not ready for. Well done. This can and will help so many people slowly but steadily and safely become fitter and healthier..Version: 0
✓ AmazingThis app got me motivated an excited to run! What a wonderful app! Better than any other one! Really works and is easy because it doesn't require a wifi or data connection!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Excellent and simpleIf you want a solid C25K app that's easy to use, without all the BS and terrible design of so many other apps, look no further. Still getting updates after many years. Thank you for an excellent app, one of my favorite app purchases!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ My absolute favoriteThis is THE BEST app to use to start running. My only complaint is that it is not available for my watch and is not updated. I fear that it will at some point not be useable for my iPhone. Please keep it current!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Love This AppSwitched from other running app to this one and I love it. As I am nearing the end of the training sessions, it would be great if GET RUNNING was able to be adapted so that the runner could choose to go longer, i.e. the ability to add an extra five minutes on ad infinitum. That means that the app will adapt as the runner adapts his/her fitness regime ... The longer you want to run, the longer the cues and timer goes. Can you please think about this? The other C25K app has the ability to do this, but I much prefer the whole setup of GET RUNNING. Thank you again from a devoted runner :-).Version: 0
✓ Best App for runningI could hardy complete one lap around the track and after using this app I now can complete 2 miles !.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Fantastic appI needed to get fit but don't have much free time so thought running could be an option. I was apprehensive about starting but this app leads you through so well. I like that I can play music and the app coach talks through it, that it pushes me with each run but that the runs are achievable, and that the app coach gives enough instruction without going overboard. Thanks to this app I'm fitter and weight is just falling off! 5 star app!!.Version: 1.9
✓ Five StarsIt's brilliant, it really helped me with my running. Honestly, you won't regret buying it :).Version: 1.9
✓ Close to being a perfect App!Absolutely fantastic App. Very well thought out. It works perfectly with music in the background and provides great encouragement along the way without going over the top. It is just like having a running buddy or coach with you all the way! Well worth the price, especially if you think how much it could cost you in physio bills if you overdo your running before your body is ready for it..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Just finished my first weekI just finished my first week, 3 runs. I already see a difference in my endurance and speed just after 3 running sessions Looking forward to week 2!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!I absolutely love this app. I have tried other running apps but nothing comes close to this one. I love the time checks throughout, this app has helped me to run 5k. I wish there was a 10k app, this one is so good..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great app!As a non runner, this app makes it so easy to get started in running. The couch to 5km program is a realistic program and this app takes all the guess work out of timing yourself. Just plug in a run when it says and walk when it says. I love the prompts too "only 15 more seconds of running to go!". She is so encouraging! I also like the you can tick off your runs as you go and see that you are on track. Great app..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Better than some appsGood prompts for runs/ walks. Plenty of positive encouragement. Short summary of what you are about to do today during warmup walk. Very good for a first time runner..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Excellent appThis is the best app I’ve tried to use to get me started with running, and long after I finished the programme I’m still coming back to it. I wish there was a 10k one. It is simple, the voice support is great without being too present and the music dims so you can actually hear it, and the programme itself works. A truly great app..Version: 1.12.1
✓ It Works!This app took me from couch to running a full 30 minutes. I run on the treadmill and had tried other big name apps. This one is so simple to use. The coach is soothing and the screen design tells you exactly where you are. I cannot recommend it enough..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great encouragement!This is a great simple app. Love the voice and the encouragement it provides. Is there a 10K version?.Version: 1.11.0
✓ Great appHighly recommended to anyone who wants to improve their fitness level and their running. Love it!.Version: 0
✓ Great app!! Love it!Very helpful running app. Keeps you on track..Version: 1.8.3
✓ I never used to exercise...but now run three times a week. The main problem for me was deciding what to do and Get Running takes care of that for you..Version: 1.8.3
✓ AwesomeI love it and actually look forward to my runs.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Best fitness start up app everHi to all overweight under exercising people. Download this app NOW. It is the motivational fitness app I know of. It encourages you, guides you and helps you start to run, pain free. I was 97kg my ideal weight should be 70kgs. After 3 months of diet and walking I couldn't get under 85kgs, so I started this program. Now down to 80 Kgs after 3 weeks. I repeated week 1. I am 55 years old and ran many many miles when I was younger and thought to start again would hard and painful " no pain no gain " goodbye.....Version: 1.8.3
✓ Great running app!!!Easy to use and really helps! Get it!.Version: 1.9
✓ I love this programThis is a great APP! It's really helped me get running! It's so simple and easy to use!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Best running appBought this in January, hadn’t run for 30 years. Has been a perfect introduction to running. Best app for for anyone who is scared to get started. Now I need a 5k to 10 k app..Version: 1.12.1
✓ It’s always my starting pointEvery time I’ve fallen off with my fitness or life has gotten in the way, this app has been the thing to get me back on track. I used it after my first baby, after I recovered from a broken ankle, and after my second baby. The prompts are gentle and encouraging, the runs are achievable and if you are able to stick roughly to the schedule, you’ll see great improvement in your running distance. Love it..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great appWould be even better if they extended it to 10k or even half marathon training.Version: 1.8.3
✓ AmazingI am over 60. Since January, I first lost 15kg by walking 10,000 steps per day, reducing portion sizes and cutting in-betweens. Then I started "Get Running". Week 1 Day 1 was the hardest day. Since then the programme has been well paced but not easy. I have now completed the nine week programme and on my third 30min run (read jog) I broke 7min/km (average) for the first time. I have also lost a further 8kg - I am still a bit overweight. The app is beautifully simple. If you are looking for lots of stats look elsewhere or wear a watch. Like others I found the voice encouraging. A year ago I would never have imagined I'd be able to jog for 30min without a rest. If I can do it, anyone can. Simply incredible!.Version: 1.11.0
✓ Fantastic, motivational, addictive!I've tried running before and would run blindly until my lungs were about to burst. Not enjoyable and made me believe I was never going to be a regular runner! Now I'm at Week 6 and I love it! This app is seriously addictive; I now look forward to each challenge every time. I completed the non-stop 20 minute run on schedule in Week 5 which I'm very proud of! I never thought I would finish it but it's a brilliant feeling when you stick at it and push through that comfort barrier. Amazing! Get it..Version: 1.8.3
✓ A brilliantly simple but effective appIf you are even tiny bit serious about starting running it will get you to that goal.Version: 1.11.0
✓ Get runningI did this app a few years ago. In no time I was running my first 5K, I lost weight and was toned up. I had a few difficult years ( emotional times with great losses ) and fell away from running. I am back at it with this app starting from week 1 I set a bucket list of 5K runs from Michigan to Minnesota to Florida. I am going to be 65 and I know I can do the 5K. Who knows maybe 10K..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Awesome App!Had a knee reconstruction last year after a major knee injury at netball. Never thought I would have that awesome feeling of fitness again. I am so excited to be running. So far each progression in the program hasn't pushed me too hard but I can really feel my leg strength and cardio fitness returning. I have never really been a runner before but now I actually crave my next session. Great app and well thought out!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Made me love to run!This app is great! Simple and easy to use and a program that’s doable..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Amazing AppI downloaded this app because of the reviews. I wanted to get running but the options for apps were overwhelming. This one earned every single star. It has a user friendly interface and a well set up program that lets me adapt it to my needs (I'm a shift worker so I cannot always run at a set time). I highly recommend it to everyone!.Version: 1.11.0
✓ Good but not perfectIn terms of a workout programme it's very good and it gets you up to a level of fitness in a controlled in intimidating way. The only frustration is that the audio controls don't work well when listening to podcasts. There is a setting that says it will pause the audio when the Get Running app has a notification for you, but it just doesn't work. It only ever lowers the volume meaning you will miss bits of what you're listening to. It comes up with a warning saying it must be the the main app open for this to work but it still doesn't. It wouldn't be as big a problem if the option to only have the the app notify you about key info worked, but it still waffles on about things that you don't need or want to hear if you've selected that option. Sure it says less, but it should only say "Run", "Stop running" and notify you of being half way. The other stuff talks over the audio meaning you'll perhaps miss something which is very frustrating..Version: 1.11.0
✓ I never write reviewsBUT I LOVE THIS APP SO MUCH. It was exactly what I needed to start a running routine without letting myself down by burning out. The incremental buildup of endurance has rekindle my love of exercise, but also helped me develop greater discipline mentally. Also the nice British lady is very encouraging :).Version: 1.12.1
✓ Fantastic appJust brilliant.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Week 3 and still loving itI've loved this app since I started a couple of weeks ago but thought I'd wait a bit to check I stuck with it before writing a review. It's really supportive and straight forward, and although it sometimes doesn't feel like I'm improving because I don't get as puffed when I run now, I must be getting fitter because I'm running for longer distances. It therefore has been successful in incrementally increasing my running stints without me noticing. I'm using it to train for a 5km fun run and all is on track so far. Only possible suggestion would be to have a GPS system so I would actually know how far I'm running, as everything is measured by time and not distance..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Just what it took to get me running!A more complex app would have put me off. Now, this one has just the right amount of prodding and gives me the info I need when I need: when to run and when to walk/stop. I just wish the timer would not stop when I go back to a different app (to switch music for instance)..Version: 1.11.0
✓ Amazing app!Great features and easy to use. Will get anyone running!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Brilliant!I am definitely not a runner, in fact I haven't run any distance of note for probably a couple of decades! So, Get Running is brilliant, it's got me running and feeling great! Thanks Get Running!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Get Running Now!Great App! It is simple and it works! Got me off the couch to running 30km/week..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Restarting our runningI have used this app before to get started running and it was great then. I now find myself needing to restart again. This program is perfect for me. It steps you up at great intervals, and you can always repeat a week if you feel you need more practice before you move on. Highly recommend!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Simple yet effectiveGives you all the motivation to get moving, get fit and feel great about yourself..Version: 1.11.0
✓ Great help!I’ve been using this app for 2 weeks now and gets me right in track. I love it! 👍🏽🙏🏽.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Buy this app, it's brilliant!I absolutely love this app, I'm so glad I chose this one from the several C25K apps available. It's very easy to use, the 'voice' is very encouraging and the whole thing is very well designed to make it as easy as possible to do the challenge. I have never really run before, and am very unfit, but I feel absolutely certain that this app will help me put that to rights. I've completed the first week and already feel better and have loads of energy. I love the fact that I can listen to music on the Ipod at the same time as using this app, and also love the fact that the app has access to 'get running' forums where you can find support, inspiration and advice from others doing the challenge. If you are thinking of starting running or taking up the C25K challenge then this is the app for you! Update: I have finished week 6 today and can now run for 25 minutes without stopping, an amazing achievement that I couldn't have managed without this app. It has truly changed my life! Buy it!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ It got me running!Worked for me!.Version: 1.11.0
✓ Really goodHas really helped me from being a 100m to getting to the end.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Simple and Perfect!This is one of the first apps I bought for my phone way back when. I still use it every time I want to get back into running. Seriously, the best app ever..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Good, just mappingGreat motivational speaking which really helps me as a new runner. A nice addition would be to map the runs.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Fantastic app that transforms your life!Five weeks ago I was overweight and unfit and had not really run since being forced out on cross country at school. But now I've just completed the dreaded week 5 run 3 - that's a full 20 mins of non-stop running - in this blazing british heat wave. It was hard in places but I feel truly wonderful. I can't believe that just a few weeks ago I was struggling to run for 1 and a half mins! Unbelievable. Claire (the woman inside the app) is a wonderful motivator and helps you along the way. You can play your own music and have Claire interrupt you telling you how long you have left and telling you you've done well etc. This app is definitely worth getting if you want to get fit and is loads cheaper than joining the gym. Plus you get to go outside and get some proper fresh air. Looking forward to getting to 5k!! Thank you to everyone involved in Get Running!.Version: 1.10.0
✓ Gets you runningI've never been a "runner", in fact I would go so far as to say I've always hated running. This app sat on my phone doing nothing for months. Finally, after much excuse-making, one day several weeks ago I just went out and did it. I'm now about to start week seven. It's not always been easy, and I still have a way to go, but I can't fault the results: I'm running. Sure, my technique is probably appalling, and I sometimes feel that if I were to stop focussing on my breathing for even a minute I'd just collapse in a heap. That first 20 minute non-stop run took everything I had (and a little that I didn't!). And there've been times I've actually pleaded out loud for the app to tell me I'm nearly done, but I'm still running... Update - Two (and a bit) years later and I'm still running! I'm now a regular at Parkrun, have completed a couple of 10K races and just registered for my first half marathon. Most importantly, I'm fitter and happier than I've ever been. I've reused this app a couple of times to recover after illness/injury and it's just great. I'd recommend this app wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to Get Running. A further update - Five years later! I’ve just used this app again to get myself back running after a big chunk of time off with an injury. I skipped over a number of runs this time as fitness returned a lot quicker than it was originally acquired - huzzah! Still a great app that I have no hesitation at all recommending..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Starting wellWeek 1 finished and it’s doing the job of getting me out and starting to run again. So the reason for downloading the app has passed and is worth the price. Ease of use is ok, could have done with a few more instructions for complete numpties like me. More about what the app is supporting and how you should go about starting. I read the website links but again they were for people who have some knowledge. The app works well and integrates with my XR perfectly.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Best running app for music!I love this app for running! I can put on my favorite cardio playlist and the nice British lady (I’ve named her Pippa) tells me exactly what to do to meet my goals. Music fades in and out seamlessly whenever Pippa challenges me. Best of all worlds...I listen to my music and someone challenges me to run. Brilliant!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Very helpful.I love that the app is both goal-oriented and gentle. I can feel myself improving after little over a week, and it doesn't feel like a torture session. I actually look forward to my next run. The only thing that I can think of to improve it would be a GPS function to track each run. Thank you!!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Voice to music volume works wellVoice coach to music volume contrast levels work way better than other running apps I’ve used. Instructions don’t get lost in the music..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Very helpfulI have always hated running but this app makes me look forward to it..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Love this appNearly finished the program and have loved it, the progression is spot on, the coaching messages are great, just what you need to know at the right time. Just wish they’d do a further app to 10k..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Highly RecommendedA really gentle and encouraging way to get into running. Great app. The only thing missing is a Apple Watch variant.Version: 1.12.1
✓ This app I bought almost 9 years ago and it changed my life foreverMy first week day 1 on 1st feb 2012. That day I never thought I would even run 5 minutes ever. Kept on doing it week after week (in 19F temperature too). Completed 5k in 9 weeks. It really works. voice prompt are very well done..Version: 1.12.1
✓ I can do this!This is a great app, I’ve used it for several years now as I start and stop running according to season, mood, bad back etc, but It’s a very useful tool each time I start again. It’s a motivational and gentle introduction to running, the prompts and encouragement spur me on. 5k is a perfect distance for me, and with this, I can reach that target without pain for half an hour three times a week..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Honestly, worth every penny and moreI am not a runner by any means but I really wanted to try... my mother in law recommended this app and I’m so glad she did! It has changed everything !!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ You can do itAmazing amazing amazing! This took me from a couch to 5k runner one step at a time. It helped me build confidence and made me fall in love with running! Wonderful app..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Love it!Love the little words of encouragement along the way.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Best C25K app I've ever usedUsed this app to help a friend train for continuous running. Found it easy to use and the training plan is the most successful one I've ever used. She's over the moon that she's gone from struggling to breathe after 1min running to a full continuous 30 mins (whilst chatting). I highly recommend this app. Developers of this app need to do a 5 to 10k progression one now :).Version: 1.12.1
✓ Got me back running againThis is a simple but effective app. I have had plantar fasciitis and have used this app to get back running once again. I particularly like the way it works with music playing from my other apps just interrupting when necessary with well balanced information.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Makes 1/2 hour of running nonstop doable - Even for the out-of-shape!I’m on my 2nd time through this 8 wk running app. The first time was four years ago before having my youngest child. That time I went from completely sedentary to running a 5k 3x a week. I’m two weeks in this time and can already tell it’s working again. Each run I have a little more to give for a little bit longer. I may never be fast, but I know I’ll end this 8 weeks able to run the full half hour without stopping..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Best running appThis is my favourite running app. The workouts progress nicely and the lady’s voice is so kind and encouraging. I’ve been using this app for years. Every time I take a too long break from running I use this to ease back in injury free..Version: 1.12.1
✓ GoodThis app got me into running which I have NEVER been able to do. It would be good if they could pepper the run with some interesting facts, helpful tips etc, it really just helps you break up the run so you don't give up after 5 minutes. Also around week 5 I have to have a week break because I was eating like crazy and finding the runs impossible. After the break I can now run 25 mins with no problem..Version: 1.11.0
✓ This app was great!I started from the very beginning, having never really run before and now I am running a full 30 minutes. I just wish there was another app for when you have completed this program. I continue to use the last run every time I go out for a run. Would recommend this to anyone..Version: 1.10.0
✓ Please make apple watch version!!!I love this app, I have used it mostly in the gym...now there are watches for outdoor running. Please make an apple watch version!! I am willing to pay anything..this is my fav running app!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ An excellent applicationA great way to get started running or to pick up where you left off. Well-structured and forgiving, it worked very well for me..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Awesome!! Has changed my life!I haven't done any exercise since I had my beautiful girls 4 years ago. This has been the perfect program that gradually challenges and encourages you to keep improving, whilst enjoying your own music. The 30min length of program is also ideal for a busy mum trying to squeeze in a workout. I never thought I would be running 20mins straight after only 5 weeks!!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Only app that actually got me runningFantastic intro to running and a pleasure to use. I looked forward to each session..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Getting going!!Love this app! Really easy to follow and encouraging!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ DariaFandom app! Very motivational. I’d recommend for anyone who’s new to jogging..Version: 1.12.1
✓ GreatThis is a great program nice voice not condescending good with my playlist loving it.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Love it!!!I'm 38 years old and I've never run before! I'm on week 7 and I've easily been able to follow this program even though every week I was sure I wouldn't be able to do it!This is a great app. It got me running and kept me on a schedule. Simple to use. Buy it now!!.Version: 1.11.0
✓ SmoothDoes a great job of making the audio feel natural..Version: 1.12.1
✓ A life changing appProbably my favourite app on the iPhone. I found this app last year because of an article Charlie Brooker wrote for the Guardian. I have yet to find another app that gives me a buzz just looking at it. I do hope they make another app for people who want to continue after the 5k. The woman's voice commands are great, it gives you a target based structure to work from. It's nice to look at how long you'll be running for in a couple of weeks. I would say if you want to feel an all around health benefit, go to a personal trainer and get them to assess you and make a plan for compound excercises you can use to strengthen your whole body. It will cost you all of about £25 and the exercises I do can all be done without gym equipment. Often mentioned is nutrition, if you are used to eating unhealthy meals, don't worry. Like this plan, you should ease into it rather than just trying to change everything in one go. Good luck to everyone attempting to get fit, it's really worth it!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ ExcellentEasy to use, nice slow build up, plenty of rest days. Working well for me. Cheers..Version: 1.8.3
✓ This is very good and can be re used. A very smart applicationOne of the reviews on this application is false. You can run and restart this 5km program as often as you like. It is simple to reset and is the greatest value app I have seen (and I have lots of them on my iPhone). I have done a lot of exercise in my life but at the moment I have become a couch potato and its time this stopped. I had a birthday last week and went looking for a running program that would softly get me out of the house and get my cardio going. This app is great. I highly recommend it. They should actually build a gift voucher option into it so you can walk up to needy people and give them a new lease on life..Version: 0
✓ Just what I neededThis app is amazing! I have never run before and am really enjoying the program, seeing and feeling a huge difference in my body. Can't recommend this enough!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Great appHave used this app a couple of times to train up for 5k and absolutely love it. The nuanced workout stages work very well. Only thing missing is Apple Watch app. Please make a stand alone watch version to make my life complete!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great for the beginnerI downloaded this app based off a friends recommendation and I love it! I never thought I’d enjoy running so much. The segments are manageable with plenty of time to recover during the walking sections. I was concerned my heart rate wouldn’t enjoy running but this program seems well designs to build up the cardio. The voice over is calming and encouraging. She speaks just enough at the right times and even turns down the volume of my music when she is talking. I’m about to start week three and I’m looking forward to it..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Brilliant AppI have used this app on and off over the last few years and it always helps me to actually run! I am the antithesis of a runner but this app really does perform MIRACLES!! Thank you app person for making it!! It’s life-changing!! 😊.Version: 1.12.1
✓ It really helps meI have started from scratch many times with this app and each time I increase my speeds. I find it very useful and motivating..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Get runningWorks well! Does what is needed, clear and straightforward. Used it for years, and it’s more reliable than my commitment! So had to start from scratch a few times, but app is always there to encourage! Maybe one day I’ll no longer need it!!!!!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Achievable goals for any fitness levelI have used this app multiple times to get back into running. It is well periodised to ensure you stick at it and don’t get injured. It is based on time rather than distance so it can be used by any level of fitness..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Fantastic!!!So easy to use and most important it gives results!!! Been using this app for 5 weeks and I’ve already seen an improvement! Great motivation along the way and my music wasn’t Interrupted!! I highly recommend!!!!!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ User friendlyVery easy to use.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Love it!Love how Im no longer focusing on my watch to time myself! it lets me just throw on a playlist as go! Time flies - and I feel so good afterwards! The motivation is great and its nice having the plan laid out to follow - having the dates come automatically really helps me keep at it and feel accountable. I'm amazed how far I've come in just a month! Get off the couch and try it - that 30 minute TV show isn't near as good for your heart, health, and happiness :).Version: 1.9
✓ This app is brilliant!I haven't run since high school and am now half way through this app. I never thought that I would be able to run for more than 1 minute and although I'm not yet finished, I don't doubt that I will. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to start running..Version: 1.8.3
✓ The BEST c25k program!!!I keep coming back to the app over and over again. It is truly the best program to jump start anyone running..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great appGreat programme, makes completing this programme so much easier, she's like my little running buddy!.Version: 0
✓ Love this app!I’ve tried another app similar but this one ticks all the boxes. It’s encouragement really helps and gets you through each week. I’m only on week 3 but I don’t want to give up now..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Love it!!I used to be the girl that everyone would say "you!? Running!? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life", people even made bets that I would give up after the first week but here I am, just finished week 5 with a 20 minute run yesterday, wanting to tell you, that you should get this app. It's so easy to start and as long as you keep up with her you'll be able to do it! I've never once actually felt like I couldn't do a run, it just builds you up so steadily! Love love love love this app!.Version: 1.9
✓ I love itThis app works.. I'm a first time runner didn't know how to start...this app helped me so much...I love it and recommend it.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Get runningMotivating and easy to use.Version: 1.8.3
✓ FantasticI love this app! I've tried to start running tons of times and this is the only one I've stuck with! It's very easy to use and extremely motivating!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ This app delivers. It just works. Brilliantly.Up front: I have no affiliation with anybody involved with this app. I bought it on a whim, started with the coach's prompts to do 1-minute jogs (spaced apart with 90-second walks), took to the program like a fish to water and -- nine weeks/levels later -- I have completed my 30-minute running target this week, no problem at all. It just works -- beginning to end. It's amazing what the human body can do with this well-thought-out quality of coaching and encouragement. I had never thought myself a runner, and this app proved me happily wrong. Sure, the program starts easily -- walk/trot, walk/trot... But keep going and your strength, enthusiasm and enjoyment builds in steady increments -- with lots of off-days to recover. It's just the right blend of activity and rest to make you say, "Yeah, I can do this," and discover that you can ... reach the goal of a half-hour run in just over two months of steadily-increasing, confidence-building exercise. It worked a charm, and you can use the app while easily playing your own music (I like to listen to comedy/talk podcasts -- but you might prefer rhythmic music). At regular intervals, with the app's super-encouraging and professional human voice cuts in with encouraging updates on your time and -- joy of joys -- when you get to slow to a walk, stretch and go home, head held high. It was just what I needed. Get the app and get off the couch. Later, sitting back down on that couch -- after a wonderfully-guided run -- will feel like a reward for a good job done. Get running, get fit and get proud of your achievement..Version: 1.11.0
✓ Je pensais jamais aimer courrir (mais)Wow! Je cours maintenant 15 minutes en une seule session! Merci à la 'madame' qui me parle dans mes oreilles, me dit quand commencer et quand arrêter, qui m'encourage juste la bonne dose... C'est une progression qui a rendu la course envisageable pour moi et j'y prends même plaisir!!! (qui l'eut cru?) MAIS le passage de la semaine 4 à la semaine 5 a été trop difficile pour moi et j'ai du reprendre. J'ai presque perdu courage! Je crois que des versions ultérieures pourraient maintenir le rythme de la progression plus longtemps. Mais je lis les autres critiques et on dirait que je suis à peu près la seule avec ce problème. Bravo pour cette App! La forme physique plus accessible pour plus de gens!!!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Needs an Iwatch appThis is a great app. It would have been a 5 star review if an iwatch app had been developed. Get it done!!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ All you needI have never been a runner - too many aches and pains plus I don’t like getting out of breath! What I like about this app is that it makes me feel like it’s not hard at all. I listen to my talking book and then just start my short runs when it tells me. No in-app purchases that I have seen..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great app!I’m not a runner but am finding this app great. I’ve just finished week3 and keen to continue. Highly recommended..Version: 1.12.1
✓ FabulousTime to begin again. Saved my life and help renewed my mind. Time to overcome and finish the race..Version: 1.9
✓ Changed my lifeThis app is money extremely well spent, I don't pay for a lot of apps but this one is completely worth it and I will never stop recommending this to everyone I know. this app made me love running and it helped me develop a healthy mindset towards running through the built in rest days. if you want to change your life for the better, this could really help.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great for beginnersVery good app. I had always hated exercise to the point where I simply just refused to do it. And this app has truly changed how I feel about exercise - it is simple to use with great encouragement along the way, plus works perfectly even if you're playing music. It is incredibly user friendly, as well as beginner runner friendly. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to attempt to get their fitness levels up..Version: 0
✓ The best running app I've ever used!I am so glad that I found this app! It's made such a difference for me, keeps me motivated and on track every week! I have one run left in week 6, and feel fantastic about my progress so far. I've just signed up for my first 5 k marathon in a few weeks and feel very confident that I will be ready to concur my goal! Thanks "Get Running!!!".Version: 1.10.0
✓ From non- runnerThis was so easy to use and I really liked the helpful and encouraging narration..Version: 1.9
✓ AMAAZING!This is changing my life, I always told myself that I could NOT run, look at me now, I love my runs and I am obsessed. Get Running!.Version: 1.9
✓ Great Running AppFor 51 years I have never been able to run for more than a few meters without stopping. I was not sporty at school and always tried to avoid sports carnivals. So it is with utter amazement that I can now run for 30 minutes continuously. This is an amazing app. It has changed my hubby and my lives. My hubby used to suffer badly from shin splints but thanks to the pace of the app can now run 30 minutes continuously too. I have now started my 15 year old daughter too! If you think you can't - read the introductory info - it tells you how to start walking for 30 mins first. We were already walkers so we skipped this. Great app! Thank you..Version: 1.9
✓ Seriously good appAfter not doing any exercise for 3 years I am now running for 30mins. Not only that, I have given up smoking and am much healthier. This app gives you confidence in getting fit because each day has a practical goal..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Still greatI come back to this app every spring. It is perfect..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Perfect running companionThis app provides just the right amount of encouragement at the right time. The lady speaker is clear and concise. There are no embellishments to the app: it clearly describes exactly what needs to be done every step of the way. You can look ahead to see what is coming. You can cancel a run at any time and take a step back. I haven't yet had to repeat a week but I would imagine just clicking on that week would start you afresh. I paid for this, rather than going with the free NHS app because, although music just fades away whilst she is speaking, audiobooks stop and start. Couldn't ask for more..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Best starting running appI have tried multiple programs to start running. C25k, etc. this is the only app that got me there. They start you out at a perfect pace. Increase the time in a way that isn’t too much. If you are looking to start running, this is the app you need..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Excellent app but need more!!This app is excellent and has got me back into running. Only 4 stars as I feel it could do with going up to 10k (or do another app 5-10k) hint hint!! Would be handy if it mapped a run, maybe it does in a full paid version if there is one? Other than that it is great. I love the fact you can just have the coach telling you when to run, stop, cool down etc or have full coaching..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Best running appI think this is the best running app for beginners.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Good app for beginnersThis is a great app to get started running. Do you have a 10k app.? I would be willing to pay a reasonable amount for it..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Newbie RunnerI’ve never run before but I’m determined to try. This app is very encouraging and fun..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Got me running again :-)Great app. I’m not a natural runner, and have been out of it for years. I’d try to fire up, pull a muscle and quit. Repeat every year. Thanks to lovely English lady, I’ve been running for three weeks and it’s just starting to feel good. Stoked to be running again, can’t wait for my body to transform.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Fantastic appJust love this app - so easy , simple to use and have achieved it every time I’ve used it to the 5k.....Version: 1.12.1
✓ Love this app!I never considered myself much of a runner, but after just four weeks I can see a noticeable improvement in my endurance. I also really like that I can listen to my music while listening to the coach..Version: 1.8.3
✓ I am v unfit and this is highly motivating!I’ve just completely week 2. I am overweight and do no exercise, my fitness level is rubbish. Always wished I could run 5k so decided to give this a go. Actually amazed by how much I can push myself with the help of this app. Great that you can listen to music over it and it counts you down so you know how long left there is to run, which helps you to keep going. Would highly recommend!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ I love running now!I tried other Couch to 5km apps before settling on this one. I love the voice overs a d how they break the run up. I also like that I can opt to repeat previous rubs if I've had a hectic week and not been able to keep to the schedule. I look forward to running with this app after thinking for years I wasn't the type for long distance running. Try it and you won't regret it..Version: 1.9
✓ Good stuffCould use a spot to add notes about each work out. But all in all good stuff!!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Running for non-runnersThis app is amazing! I never even dreamt that I would be able to run for half and hour without stopping, and now I can! The commentary voiceover is not at all annoying and just the right amount of encouraging. Actually enjoy running now, which is the best thing about this app..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Love this appEverything about this app is great. I can listen to my music and run and a pleasant voice prompts me all the way. The timing of the reminders is just exactly right. When I feel like I can’t go on it comes on and encourages me to keep going. Love the interface. Simple is great! Thanks for this app!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Works for me (38y, 17st, IT Geek)I most certainly started off on the couch and I'm now half way through week 7 and I'm running the 25min runs with relative ease (I don't find running easy). I'm pretty amazed at what I can do now compared to how hard I found the initial weeks and I cannot recommend this app highly enough. The encouraging voice telling you that you only have 30secs, 10 secs left seems to have the right level of motivation. I did have to delay a couple of my runs by a few days but the app just rescheduled everything automatically. The only thing I would ask for is runkeeper style maps and elevation plans to keep a record of what I've achieved. Week 6 was a bit of a shock In terms of run duration increase but I'm over that now. Update: I'm now 40, still a geek (the app did not help with either of these) but I'm now happy running. I don't do long distances but a half hour 5km a few times a week keeps me happy and healthy. Thanks Get Running..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great motivator!I had just started trying to run and was finding it hard to push myself, so I downloaded this App. As a beginner, it was fabulous! It runs in the background so you can have your music on while you look at the image of how far you have to go. The voice prompts and encouragement are really helpful. Knowing that I have something to work to helps so much and I'm so proud of myself when I've achieved another level! 100% worth buying!.Version: 1.8
✓ Awesome app!!Love this - excellent functionality; love that it allows me to listen to my music while still receiving run instructions (when to walk/run). Also, love the voice - easy to listen to and non-intrusive. Like how you can choose how often you want prompts, too. This is a great app, and has made all the difference to me as I begin the process of seeing myself as a runner..Version: 1.8.3
✓ RichmondLoving this ap. motivational and easy to follow. So stoked that I have managed to stick to the programme.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Get fit without meaning to :-)I absolutely detest the mere idea of jogging or doing any exercise just for the sake of getting fit, so it was a joy to find my cardio fitness improve without even trying. Stealth fitness!.Version: 1.10.0
✓ Who would have thought...... That I would be able one day to run for 30 min! And I'm now looking to run a 10k!.Version: 1.10.0
✓ Get it and get running!Absolutely amazing app. My new year's resolution was to start running, but I overdid it and injured myself within a few weeks. So at the start of April I discovered this app and followed it to the letter. I remember thinking "how am I going to run for 10 minutes without stopping?" I need not have worried. With the encouragement provided I completed the programme at the end of June. I was really worried about what I would do when I finished it because there is no app provided for longer runs. I followed what someone suggested on the blog and set the timer when I had completed my 5 minute workout, thus extending my run. I've completely got the running bug now - my longest run has been 1 hour 10 minutes, and the running itself is now motivation enough, without the lady's nice voice in my ear! I can't speak highly enough of this app. It has completely changed my life..Version: 0
✓ My favorite running app!I love it and have used it many times over the years. I tend to run for a while and then get lazy and stop for a long period of time. So then I go back to this app. I’ve completed the training twice and I quit it once. It’s still amazes me that it’s so hard to run for a short period of time when I start the training but by the end I’m running a 5k non-stop!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ It works!It really really works!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Just brilliantAmazing app well worth your while, got me up and into running! If to want to get fit, this is an essential app!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Like changing purchaseWe named the coach “Claire” and she’s very motivating! Never thought I would be a runner but loving this new lifestyle thanks to this app..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Get this app!!Like any exercise, this does require willpower, but the app is great. It got me through that scary "I'm not going to be any good at running" thinking process. It breaks you in gently and before you know it, you're running for longer amounts of time and it really is a great confidence boost as each week goes by and you beat your last goals. Just a tip though, create a playlist for your workout before you do it so you don't have to fuss about with skipping songs. Enjoy!!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Fantastic!Never considered myself a runner, but this app has broken the thought of a 30 min run down into small manageable steps. It's so achievable, there's a group of us 'non-runners' committing to the 3x a week runs (we even ran past other 'Get Running' runners yesterday morning too) Love it!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Best running app for a beginner by farBy far the best, least complicated app I have tried. With the best results. Just motivational enough, achievable progressions and no fuss. I have completed it in the past but was injured (unrelated to running) and unable to run for a couple of years. This app is old school now but I’ve tried others and they don’t work for me. I’m using it to get back into running. Have just competed week 3 and remembering again how much I love running!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Slow and steadyAfter a long break from running Am learning to be disciplined and follow the program and not rush myself and do too much too soon.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Realistic and achievableVery realistic and achievable app to get you running. I have been sedentary for years but enjoyed the gentle progressive approach..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Get runningI could not run 3 min 9 months ago! Just did a 5k this weekend! Fantastic app!!!!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Best app on my iPhone!I would never run for the life of me until I decided on doing something new this year, for a new years resolution. I had heard about apps that assisted in personal training and stumbled across this one and have loved every second of it since I downloaded it. Totally worth the money. Love listening to my music or audiobooks while the app is running in the background. I am now nearing the end of week 6 and wishing you guys would make a 5-10k app. I don't want to get the other one I like this format. Please make a 5-10k, please! :D.Version: 0
✓ Great motivatorI love to take walks/runs with this app very motivated worth the price I paid. Thank you < 3.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Couch to 5 ksI am very unmotivated at the best of times, this app got me out the door. It gives you motivatin to continue running even when u dont think you can. Brilliant!!!!!!!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Love the voice!She has the perfect voice, such a nice pitch and tone, very encouraging and comforting. The only thing I would say is that, having injured myself a few times, you need to do each week 3 times over before moving on to the next week as per my health professionals, especially if starting from a base fitness of a complete couch potato to prevent injury. Also, I struggled with the jump from 20 mins to 25 mins in the last weeks, I needed something in between, like 23 mins. Otherwise, love this app!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Great purchaseEasy to use and my music plays while using the program..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Excellent app in every wayThis is an extraordinarily well-designed, smart, and user-friendly app that really did get me running for 30 minutes in 9 weeks. I am 62 years old and gave up running in my 20s because of knee injuries. Using GetRunning has worked so well: no injuries (thanks to the brilliantly thought-out pacing of the program) and I can't stop boring everyone with the details of my achievement. I'm recommending this to everyone I know. I'll keep running but, gee, I'm gonna miss Claire. What a brilliant choice of voice-over artist!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Amazing!!Never thought I'd be able to run for 30 min was struggling with one to start with!!!!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Get runningWhat a great programme! For someone who never enjoyed running I thought I would try it for fitness - after 9 weeks I am comfortably running 30mins and still can't believe it! Highly Recommend for anyone learning to run and increase their fitness..Version: 1.8.3
✓ First runSo excellent, the ramp up is nice and slow for this newbie. BUT... why can’t I see the results from the run after I’m done? I’m a data junkie and I really would like to see how I did.Version: 1.12.1
✓ AlSimple, accurate and encouraging. In my 50s, never run before. This works, just back from another run..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Feeling awesomeI hated running my whole life. Overweight and unfit, I started using this app and now I am addicted! It's super easy and I actually look forward to running! The voice over always makes you feel like you're a winner and I love that it works with music apps such as Pandora. It's worth splashing out the extra $$ for..Version: 1.11.0
✓ Outstanding way to enter the running worldIf you are looking for a way to ease into running - this program is certainly that! Excellent guidance, pace, timing and growth. Highly recommend for the beginner who has put off running in the past or has tried and failed because they were too aggressive and/or found themselves with an related to poor training..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Not a runnerLoving this app! Manageable for a previous run phobic and I am feeling good!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Love it!I love this program - manageable steps and happy encouraging but not annoying voice..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Great app!This has helped me so much! You build up gradually and before you know it you can run!!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Tried and trueI have used this app for years. I recommend it to anyone. Looking for a running app. I have tried a few others and always come back to this one. It works and It’s easy to use..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great toolThis app has helped me immensely by getting me off the couch and on my way to running 5k. Recommended!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Couldn’t recommend more highlyThis review is in two parts. Firstly covering to couch to 5k programme, followed by this app specifically. Anyone wanting to get into running, I couldn’t recommend this programme more highly. Having just finished my final run I feel so proud of myself. I’ve genuinely gone from struggling to run for a minute at a time (which sounds ridiculous now!) to being able to comfortably run for half an hour. There were weeks when I wanted to give up, but as you see yourself progress it becomes addictive. Whilst there are many apps that cover the same programme, I personally loved the simplicity of this one. For me if functioned perfectly the entire time and I feel I will continue to use this app to have the encouraging voice and time pointers as I run. For people who are interested in knowing their distance covered and pace I ran Strava alongside Get Running on my later weeks and this worked fine. I’m not really one to go to the effort of writing reviews but I felt the need to encourage anyone who’s considering this to give it a go. Honestly if I can do it anyone can!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ From couch potato to 5kI used this app 2 yrs ago and have now started again. It still amazes me that before you know it your running for 20mins plus without stopping. I can listen to my music and lock my phone and the app still runs. Brilliant app for beginners..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great appHelped me get back into running twice after two surgeries. I’d recommend building up to walking on alternate days for 45 mins over several months and then maybe daily for a couple of weeks before starting the program. Don’t feel bad if you end up needing to repeat the week 1 program for a couple of weeks either. At least you’re still going!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Love it!I love this app. I am only up to week five but am religious about my runs!! I need a follow on to get me to the half marathon stage though. Have you got anything coming?.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Fantastic appI've tried the couch to 5k on my own before and didn't stick with it. This app makes it effortless..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Keeps you motivatedThis is a great app. I HATE running! I can’t wait for my ‘run’ to end, and this app keeps you informed. I’m now up to 28 min runs, it tells me every 5 mins, how long I have left. It lets you know half way through so you can head back home. These reminders that soon I’ll be done is what keeps me going! Down side it doesn’t connect to my Apple Watch, it would be nice if it knew my pace, and could encourage me to go faster to meet with goals, but really those extras could be saved for the next app up, when you start to get serious! Great app. I need 5k to 10K now please, from this developer. Worth the few quid one off payment. Thank you for not requiring a subscription. Well done..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Awesome App!Easy to use, track progress, and keeps you motivated..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great app!It’s a great starter for those new runners ! Highly recommended, love it !.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great way to start Running!I'd always wanted to run but never knew where to start. I was recommended the Get Running App and am on Week 2 now. The first run was hard but the app was so encouraging I wanted to keep going. By the end of the first week it was a little easier. I didn't think I'd survive week 2 but I have. It's not easy but with a little motivation (with some help from the app) I am getting there!.Version: 1.9
✓ Best App to get you runningSimple, yet effective.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Can't believe I did it...This is a seriously great app. I had done no exercise for over 10 years so at 38 years old I decided it was time. This app took me from walking to running over 5km in 30min. I took it slow over about 4 months and re-run a few of the weeks when it got too hard. I still can't believe I can cruise through 5km. This has turned me into a runner. I now have my sights set on 10km! Give it a go....Version: 1.9
✓ WowI am not a runner. I am not athletic. I have never stuck to ANY workout program I have started. EVER. I have just finished my 5th week. I could not be prouder of myself and am so thankful for this app. It was the only c25k app I have tried but I have never regretted it. I feel good, I never feel like I was pushed "too far too fast", and the coach is motivating without being annoying. Just the right amount of encouragement. I love that I can play my own music, change my music, run other apps at the same time (I also run the Map My Run app). I also wasn't ready to move up to week 4, reran week 3 with No issues. If you aren't sure if this app is what you're looking for, you won't be disappointed!!.Version: 1.9
✓ Run ProgramLast run Wk9 I've done it and it's the best feeling from never running to running 5k..Version: 1.8.3
✓ The bestThis is the app for people like me who didn't think they would enjoy running and who thought they wouldn't enjoy it. After buying the app and using it, I still don't enjoy the running while I'm actually doing it but I am now fit, healthy and easily run 30 mins. And I love talking about it afterwards. This app changed my outlook, my fitness and my health. Best money I ever spent!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Please update to work on watch!Hi, your app is the best but o need it to co-ordinate with my I watch!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ GreatI had never been able to run in my life. Always got winded. This programed helped stay motivated to achieve my goal..Version: 1.8.3
✓ I can now run over 4.5kmThis app really works if you stick to it. I struggled a lot in the beginning, I was in alot pain, out if breath and felt very dizzy but after repeating it I found all that started to disappear. If I found a level to hard, I simply repeated the week. I've never been a natural runner but today I just finishes my 9th week and can now comfortable run over 4.5km. So proud of myself :).Version: 1.8.3
✓ Get this appI love this app and have already recommended it to many people. Best training - makes it so easy and you notice your ability building. You don't have to think, just listen and do as you're told! Brilliant. I've used this app to get running a few times, and it's always brilliant. I wish this group made other ones of interval training and a 10k on me because this is the best running/coaching app around..Version: 1.9
✓ Turned me into a runnerThis app really works. I was a complete sedentary person, but completed the program (took way longer than 9 weeks) and three years later am still running every week. Never would have thought that would be me! It's a really motivating system. Looking back after a couple years of running and that first 20 minute run is still one of the hardest things I've ever done. Persevere and it is worth it!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great appI haven't run since school and have always been too nervous/ had no desire to run outside, but inspired by the thought of setting and achieving a goal, I signed up to a 5k charity run with my friends and downloaded this app, and it's been brilliant! It really took me from couch to 5k in 9 weeks. At first you do te same run 3 times, and you can feel it getting easier, and then a few weeks in you're running double, triple a time which you used to find challenging when you first started. Great things about this app include the ability to run alongside most music apps, the encouraging voice that informs you of your time and distance, and it plans your runs by date, which kept me right on track for training for my 5k. The only criticism I have is that it does it by minutes, and works by the principle that by the time you get up to running 30 mins you should be running 5k (which might not be true if you're a slow runner!) so I had to run a distance app alongside it just to make sure I was actually hitting 5k, because as far as I could tell the app wasn't measuring my distance. Overall a great app. Seeing the dates telling me when to run was the best encouragement for me..Version: 1.11.0
✓ Delivers...motivation required!I have wanted to review this app for some years now. First bought in 2012 and it’s never left my phone since. Got me from unfit and overweight back to fighting weight and overall health. It’s simple friendly voice has seen me through many many runs. Even after completing the course I often return after illness or laziness and it never fails me. On day one you’ll feel it’s an insurmountable task, praying for a 1 minute run to be up but sooner than you think, you’ll be pounding out 20, 25, 28 and 30 minute runs. 5k programs are not new but when combined with an app it’s a life changing plan. Motivation is required, you do have to commit to it, but also don’t get disheartened if a run is tough, many of us hit a wall at some point, it took me four goes to do my first solid 20min run but stick at it and you CAN finish the program. I owe a lot to this app, it is the best and I’ve tried others, it truly gave me my health back. I truly wished they brought out a 10K version as this is wonderfully done and others options are no where near as good..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Natural171What a fantastic app, it’s an app that has always stayed on my phone! I have never been a runner, however this is the only running app I will use, it like having a Personal Trainer in your ear that counts you down when you near to the end of run/walk. I just wish there was one for a 10mile and the app for I-Watch..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Motivational and it works!I decided to take up running to get fit as I didn't do any exercise apart from walking the dog. A friend recommended that I try the Couch to 5k programme and specifically this running app. When I started seven weeks ago running the 1min sessions was a struggle (yes I was that unfit) now I am on continuous 25min runs. The voice prompts are really helpful and the progression, whilst challenging, is very rewarding. I have now signed up for my local park run which I intend to do at the end of week 8, I may have to walk a bit but that's ok. Give this app a go if you no longer want to be a couch potato..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Best fitness app!I used to be really fit and years on the couch neglecting my fitness meant I could barely run 1 minute without gasping for breath. I would push myself thinking I could run like I used to and then give up out of frustration. Get running changed all that by gradually bringing my fitness back up step by step. I now really look forward to my runs and being able to meet the challenges that the app sets. Brilliant brilliant brilliant app. Awesome job!!!!.Version: 0
✓ Exactly what I neededWell-paced and encouraging for the rank beginner, like me. I strung out the program a bit, but I was running longer than the goals by week 6. Week 7 and 8, I ran over 45 minutes each run. More important, it's taught me to look forward to my runs. I've always hated running, and now I can't wait for the next one! The absence of distance tracking is not a realproblem; the program focuses you on time. I am curious about the distances, and I'll move to another app now. But this one did its job well. Perfect for its purpose..Version: 1.9
✓ Karen -CornwallWell structured program which seems to be getting my plump friend and I moving. We would like to be able to change the voice of the instructor though..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Got me off the couch - and I love it!I've never been fit, the first run was hell - I could barely walk for 3 days afterwards. BUT, every week it has been getting easier. I'm midway through week 5 and still can't wait to get out there again tomorrow. Buy the app, download RunKeeper, and do week one (SLOWLY!). If you love it after that, get a heart rate watch, it's REALLY helpful to know when you're in "the zone", and it allows you to actually see how your body is working and improving. //UPDATE: in week 9 now and running 4.5KM in 32 non-stop minutes. Not quite at 5KM in 30, but soon hopefully! I've lost 15% of body weight too!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Love this appI love this app. The prompts are cheerful. They are super encouraging. I love the voice for the prompts.The timing seems to be just right. I also love that you can add more than one runner so I can use this app with my husband. The progression of the runs really worked for me. I just finished week 7 and will be running my first 5K in 2 weeks ! Get this app and start running !.Version: 1.11.0
✓ Favourite running appGently encouraging, human voice. I’m prone to injury but this style of building my is brilliant for minimising injury..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great App!Not complicated at all! Easy to use. Got me running! Does the thinking for you! You just have to listen and concentrate on your running. Starts out at a slow pace and builds you up..Version: 1.11.0
✓ MeMy app won’t stay open but just closes every time I open it. Need help to fix this! I love this app!!!!!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ So far so good.Only at week 1 but like it so far. I’ll see how it goes as the run/walk times increase :-).Version: 1.12.1
✓ Awesome app and very easy to useThe female coach is very encouraging. I (for the first time in my life) can now run 5km! Thanks!.Version: 1.11.0
✓ The best couch to 5k appI've tried a few C25K apps and Get Running is the best..Version: 1.11.0
✓ Simple and effectiveOver many years I’ve used this to correct for back sliding on fitness. Gets me there every time..Version: 1.12.1
