Brilliant companion to start running/jogging!
When I first downloaded this app, I found it difficult to run for more than 30 seconds at a time. C25K makes it really easy to get into running slightly longer each time and it doesn’t push you to do a certain speed or distance. I completed my first 5k today on the last run of the program, running for 30minutes straight. I never would have been able to do it without Jo Whiley in my ear!!! Thanks C25K for helping to change my health and fitness regime!
United KingdomForces corny motivational speeches
Does what it says on the tin, would be good if you could disable the motivational talk all together.. really takes you out of the zone
United KingdomHow I feel
On run 3 it doesn’t feel like I am running for a minute.

I’m not sure why I decided to try this. I have never played any sports. At 67 I am aware of potential health issues looming though. I chose Sarah Millican to be my coach in an effort to lessen any sporty overtones. After the first session I went home thinking I can’t do this! I found it really hard. The next session was easier and I felt more confident. I have completed the programme in the 9 weeks but I had to repeat one 25 minutes run as I had to stop early due to a painful knee. I may be able to run for 30 minutes but it isn’t 5k. My style is very much shambling jog so I’m very slow. That said, I am obviously fitter and I think I will continue to run but I’m going to go for shorter times and see if I can go further. My advice is- give it a go. If I can do it, so can you. The programme is very sensible and you can take longer than 9 weeks, repeat runs and change coaches. Go for it!
United KingdomUpdate glitch
Possible update issue? My sound no longer reduces when instructor speaks or turns off if selected? 🙁
