From the Couch to a 5k: 09/16/2012

Everyone at one time or other became a person who started an exercise program or running program. If you are just now thinking about starting a running program and would like to move up into the word of running then this app is for you. Or maybe you know someone that needs a little assistance, then maybe you can recommend this app to some one. The app is $1.99, but is full of features. There is even a feature that will give you discounts on select 5k enrollments. Discounts on fun runs, that on its own is pretty cool. This is a must have for anyone just starting out or getting back into running!

Couch-to-5K

This is the OFFICIAL CoolRunning Couch-to-5K® beginner training plan, brought to you by Active.com! This oft-imitated program has helped thousands of new runners get off the couch and train for a 5K. Spend just 20 to 30 minutes, three times a week, for nine weeks, and you’ll be running 3.1 miles!

The C25K training program is perfect for beginner runners or anyone seeking to get in shape, and stay in shape.
The Active.com Couch-to-5K (C25K) Mobile App was designed by our trainers to ensure you get the support you need to achieve your goals:
• Customize your experience and select your interactive coach (training personality) - Constance, Billie, and Sergeant Block – who will motivate you and keep you on track
• Train at a sensible pace starting with a brisk walk, then walk/run for about 20 or 30 minutes followed by a cool down, three times a week
• Gradually challenge yourself as you progress – The training program starts slow to accommodate new runners and you can repeat weeks if needed, then move ahead when you feel you're ready
• Track your progress right on your Android device or log on to Active.com Trainer to view detailed charts of your improvement and track calories
