Start running and get in shape with the most popular beginner's running plan. Couch to 5K has been helping thousands of people ease into running and incrementally build up their running strength in just 9 weeks.

Couch to 5K plan in a nutshell:

- You alternate between walking and running
- Takes 9 weeks to complete
- You workout 3 days per week
- Each workout session is from 30-40 minutes long (including 5 minutes warm up and 5 minutes cool down)

For example, the first week you run for 60 seconds then walk for 90 seconds and repeat that for 20 minutes. That's it. Anybody can do that.

The second week you increase to 90 seconds running and 2 minutes walking, and so on until at week 9 you are able to run for 30 minutes straight which is roughly 5K (3.1 miles).

This app gives you audio prompts every time you need to change from running to walking according to the C25K plan. You can listen to your music and enjoy your workout without constantly looking at your stopwatch.

If you are doing the C25K this is the app to have!

FEATURES:
- Plays audio alerts you when you need to switch from running to walking.
- Configure optional alerts in Settings:
- "Half point" alert, so you know when to turn back if you are running outside.
- "Last run" alert, so you can push a little bit harder on your last run
- Keeps track of the days you've completed.
- Lets you listen to your own music while doing Couch to 5K intervals.
- Integrates with Facebook so you can publish a story in your feed when you complete a workout.
- Integrates with Twitter, so you can change your status right from the app

I made this app because I started the C25K running plan myself. The C25K program and this app have helped me get healthier and fitter and I hope it does the same for you.
