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 coachs 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. Its 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.

Its 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 apps 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.
