Praise
“The popular Couch to 5K app helps new runners avoid injury from doing too much, too soon.”
Runners World, June 2012

“It's ridiculously easy to use (it's hard not to, as you just do what you're told) and it's fantastic that you have an encouraging voice talking you through things.”
Engadget, June 2012

“Active.coms Couch to 5K is one of my favorite apps. With its customizable features, interactivity, and well-rounded interface, I may actually stay off the couch this time.”
148Apps, October 2011

“I knew as soon as I decided to start the Couch to 5K program that I would need something to keep me accountablenot just to showing up for my training, but to actually doing it properly. Of course theres an app for that.”
CalorieLab, April 2012

“If you have been struggling to get your buns off the couch and somewhat in shape before the summer hits, training for a 5K is not a bad way to start. If you are looking for a program to help get you there, then the Couch to 5K running plan by CoolRunning is probably your best bet if you havent done an ounce of athletic activity for a number of years.”
Droid Life, April 2012

Good pacing, progression; inconsistent voice prompts (3 stars)
I have used this app for the last six weeks to build up stamina and re-condition my knee after meniscus surgery. The interval training has definitely been the answer, and this app's pacing feels just right for me. Nice slow start with good increasing run intervals and a variety of runs in a given training week. However where this app needs fine tuning is with the voice notifications to move you from one interval to another. Often I couldn

Turned a true couch potato into a runner! (5 stars)
I love this app. No, it's not technically perfect. I've had it glitch twice during my runs and completely start over. Yikes! And yes, the trainers can be difficult to hear. For a few weeks I jogged with my phone in my hand until my hubby bought me some fantastic wireless ear buds. Now I can hear the trainer even while listening to loud music. But what I love is how spot-on the actual program is! I have recently lost weight but still have qui

Couch to 5k (5 stars)
I was the epitome of "Couch Potato". I was at a point where I would lie in bed until late into the afternoon hours (we're talking until 4:00 p.m.), I would watch Netflix on my phone while in bed because I was too lazy to walk to my computer, and while I was lying in bed, I would reach down and grab the bag of potato chips and the 2 litre of soda that I had brung in there the night before, and that would be my lunch. Then I would ha
