This is a running plan designed to get complete beginners from couch potato to running 5k (or 30 minutes) in nine weeks.
It is:
- Achievable - starting with a mix of running and walking and building up slowly
- Virtually free - all you need is a decent pair of trainers and an MP3 player (a regular mobile phone will do)
- Easy - a motivating 'personal trainer' tells you exactly when to stop and start.
The plan sets three runs per week with a day of rest between each run.

Road to recovery

After several years of varying degrees of immobility due to a spinal injury, I’m now 3-4 months post op and have started to feel well enough to start low impact jogging. This app has helped me immensely.

Fantastic app

Just about to start week 4 and really enjoying it. I look forward to the next run!!!! Can’t believe I’m saying this! I was the couch potato. But I have read that you can change the voice of the trainer but can’t see how to do it.
