Couch to 5K by RunDouble 4.6.9

RunDouble Couch to 5K is an exceptional training companion that surpasses any other Couch to 5K app. It provides a comprehensive program, starting with the Couch to 5K plan and guiding you all the way to completing a half marathon.

Couch to 5K by RunDouble is an ideal solution for achieving your goal of running a 5K in just 9 weeks. However, don't be overwhelmed - you can take longer if needed. This app follows the well-known Couch to 5K plan, created by Josh Clark (not to be confused with the alternative C25K plan).

You have control over the pace, allowing you to start with a gentle jog and work your way up to a quick run. Progress at your own pace throughout the weeks, running three times a week with rest days in between. Soon enough, you'll proudly call yourself a runner. Simply put on your headphones, select your preferred music, and follow the prompts. With just one minute of running initially, it couldn't be easier.
