Want to get fit and feel fantastic? Want to add some fresh air to your exercise? Then Get Running with the best Couch to 5k App!

With three enjoyable workouts a week, in nine weeks you will be running continuously for half an hour, even if getting off the couch is a struggle today!

Get Running breaks through the “beginning barrier” with its enormously popular Couch to 5k running plan. In week one’s workouts youll alternate one minute of running with 90 seconds of walking. With each new week, Get Running’s human voice coach gradually builds up your pace, until you’re running for a whole half-hour!

Get Running is the only Couch to 5K App that:

• Coaches like a human – with hundreds of studio-recorded progress and encouragement prompts.
• Supports and encourages you – talk with fellow running rookies on the Get Running forum.
• Lets you share (NEW!) – share Get Running with up to three other runners: you all get your own log and settings!
• Helps you plan – rest days help you recover, and Get Running knows the best day for your next run.
• Displays your next move – the unique Run Clock, customised for each workout, gives complete visibility and understanding.

In addition, Get Running:

• Works with or without music. Or listen to podcasts and audio books.
• Fits your schedule – just three workouts a week of 20 to 30 minutes.
• Logs your achievements – with an illuminating visual record of your progress.

Thousands of people have changed their lives with Get Running and you will too! Whether you’re running for your health, training for a 5K, or building to conquer a marathon — Get Running!

Get Runnings users say:

• Just finished week 9 run 3 and all I can say is this app changed my life. Great job.

• I LOVE your app. I have tried several but Yours is the BEST for me. I am 60 years young this year & a cancer survivor. I have set the goal to run 5 K races. I use your program as my trainer, it is SUPER. Thank You. – Vickie Wheeler by email

• I tried the top selling "Couch to 5k" App before I purchased this one, and this one is much nicer to use. The voice reminders are very helpful. I like how it pauses your music instead of talking over it. I highly recommend it over the others.

• Thank you so much for this little gem of an app. I had a look at others like it but this wins hands down. It is so brilliantly simple with a great interface.

• Thank you! This app has changed my life. I was unfit and didnt do any regular exercise. I always blamed my asthma for being the reason I couldnt run for longer than a minute, but now I know its because I was unfit! I have signed up for a 5k race too! – @amyriddett on Twitter

• Really great app. Im actually looking forward to running. I listen to podcasts and this app is terrific at pausing the show to make its announcements. I dont miss anything that was said. Outstanding.

Pros and cons of Get Running app for iPhone and iPad

Get Running app good for

This is easy to use, perfect for beginner runners. Encouraging, positive messages to keep you going. Great training schedule, easy to stick to. Start now and you will be running 5k by the summer.

Folks: this thing WORKS. I used to get sore and out of breath after two minutes of running, and my previous attemps at interval training had resulted in injuries and guilt. Now I cant wait for my next 30mn run in hilly woods! This is extremely simple, no fancy stats, no macho buttons-and-dials screens, just a quiet, friendly voice (with a delightful British accent) telling you when to walk and when to run. It wont do the thinking for you if you miss a couple of sessions or if you need to take it easier, but its excellent at what it does: talking you through a progressive, beginner-friendly, guilt-free training program. (The internet links have also been quite helpful.)

I always wanted to run, but as I have asthma it has never been easy. Using this app I feel more motivated and I can see that I am capable of running

Got me from the couch to 30 minutes of running within 9 weeks. Provides just that little extra bit of motivation you may need. Better Music and GPS integration would be nice.

I love the app Its perfect for people like me - running starters The app will keep you informed on whats ahead and your accomplishments Well done

I have started 4-5 weeks ago and find it very helpful to get guidance. You can also listen to your favorite music and then the guidance just comes along. I am happy about the quick progress I make with that app. I can absolutely recommend this to start running.

Some bad moments

8 weeks ago, I went for my first run with this app. 25 runs later, I have not missed a single run day, last for 30 minutes sans walking and am absolutely overjoyed. Pluses: - achievable bites which truly will lead you to 30 uninterrupted minutes after 8 weeks. - reliable performance, no missed prompters, no clashes with music or audiobooks. - free Cons: None whatsoever. If, like me, you have been inactive for many more years than you care to remember but want to get (back) in shape, this app is for you. I can’t sing its praises loudly enough!
