About this app

Taking up running? What could be easier!

Don’t worry about distance, pace, or speed. Let's think about all this later.
Listen to the instructions and run as you like.

Don't focus on your running technique. The most important thing now is to get out and start running.

Your goal is to increase the jogging time. Nothing else matters right now.

Features:
+ Personal running coach
+ Couch to 5K (c25k) alternative training plan
+ Detailed statistics of each training
+ Distance, speed and pace tracker
+ GPS-route of every session
+ Built-in pedometer
+ Calorie counter
+ Custom workouts
+ Voice guidance

The workout plan is split into 4 levels. Each level has a specific goal for jogging duration:

* Level 1 goal is 20 minutes.
* Level 2 goal is 30 minutes.
* Level 3 goal is 40 minutes.
* Level 4 goal is 60 minutes of running.

Each level has a 4-weeks duration, and 3 workouts per week.

Used it once now, so I don't know yet if you can complete a full training without payment. Connecting to Google Fit is free, storing your tracks will cost you. Don't know if this will get rid of the ads? Anyway, so far it's a great free app, and if it keeps being free for the whole workout, I'll pay some and will keep using it.

This app is ideal to quickly create workouts, when listening to music the voice will tell you the next step, minutes, etc. The only things I would have liked is the ability to copy workout schedules (to tweak them) and the ability to set preferences for the amount of minutes announced (every minute, every 30 sec) for both running and walking

excellent app for starting to run...after 20 years. even the free version offers you the basic tools. cloud sync seems to have some issues (missing tracks) when syncing between 2 phones.
