Description
Just like a personal workout training coach, the Run 5k app will help you get into shape using our beginner runner training plan. In 8 weeks, you'll be able to run 5 km (3.1 miles) without stopping or walking. This app is great for beginner runners who have never run before or former runners who want to start up again.
The Run 5k app has been featured in the Boston.com lifestyle-health section and reviewed in Health Magazine and on www.MacStories.net.
This app was created by Lucius Kwok and Kasten Searles. Made in NYC.
* 20 to 30 minute workouts, plus a 5-minute warmup and 5-minute cooldown fo each workout.
* Alternate between jogging and walking intervals.
* Intervals gradually become more challenging to build your running endurance.
* Full program takes 8 weeks, but you can start at any point.
* Female, male, or no voice prompts tells you when to jog and when to walk.
* Prompts at the halfway mark and 1-minute-left mark.
* User-friendly display showing time elapsed, total time remaining, and time remaining for each interval.
* Checks off and tracks the date of each completed workout.
* Use it with your own playlists - music, podcasts, or other audio.
* Use it along with Nike+ to track your distance.
* Built-in music controls so you don't have to leave the app to change your music.
* Option to update Facebook and/or Twitter at the end of each workout.

Great app but..
Love this app, use it all the time. There has been one problem since the last update, where did the audio cues go?? It's a bit hard to look at the phone when it's strapped to my arm to know when I have to start running. Please fix!
LOVE!
I have had no problems with audio cues or phone lock from using this recently - I made sure my notifications were all set to on for this app in iphone's settings just in case.
I used this app a year ago to get me to 5k and it was brilliant. I have just started using it again. I love the app for its simplicity - the other apps built on the c25k program seem too complicated, or 'busy' in their design.
The problem once finishing the program is what to do after. This time I will buy the same author's c210k and will start there with w5. Great app - a great way to ease into running.
