Want to get fit and feel fantastic? Want to add some fresh air to your exercise? Then Get Running with the best Couch to 5k App!
With three enjoyable workouts a week, in nine weeks you will be running continuously for half an hour, even if getting off the couch is a struggle today!
Get Running breaks through the “beginning barrier” with its enormously popular Couch to 5k running plan. In week one’s workouts you'll alternate one minute of running with 90 seconds of walking. With each new week, Get Running’s human voice coach gradually builds up your pace, until you’re running for a whole half-hour!
Get Running is the only Couch to 5K App that:
• Coaches like a human – with hundreds of studio-recorded progress and encouragement prompts.
• Supports and encourages you – talk with fellow running rookies on the Get Running forum.
• Lets you share (NEW!) – share Get Running with up to three other runners: you all get your own log and settings!
• Helps you plan – rest days help you recover, and Get Running knows the best day for your next run.
• Displays your next move – the unique Run Clock, customised for each workout, gives complete visibility and understanding.
In addition, Get Running:
• Works with or without music. Or listen to podcasts and audio books.
• Fits your schedule – just three workouts a week of 20 to 30 minutes.
• Logs your achievements – with an illuminating visual record of your progress.
Thousands of people have changed their lives with Get Running and you will too! Whether you’re running for your health, training for a 5K, or building to conquer a marathon — Get Running!
Get Running's users say:
• Just finished week 9 run 3 and all I can say is this app changed my life. Great job.
• I LOVE your app. I have tried several but Yours is the BEST for me. I am 60 years young this year & a cancer survivor. I have set the goal to run 5 K races. I use your program as my trainer, it is SUPER. Thank You. – Vickie Wheeler by email
• I tried the top selling "Couch to 5k" App before I purchased this one, and this one is much nicer to use. The voice reminders are very helpful. I like how it pauses your music instead of talking over it. I highly recommend it over the others.
• Thank you so much for this little gem of an app. I had a look at others like it but this wins hands down. It is so brilliantly simple with a great interface.
• Thank you! This app has changed my life. I was unfit and didn't do any regular exercise. I always blamed my asthma for being the reason I couldn't run for longer than a minute, but now I know it's because I was unfit! I have signed up for a 5k race too! – @amyriddett on Twitter
• Really great app. I'm actually looking forward to running. I listen to podcasts and this app is terrific at pausing the show to make it's announcements. I don't miss anything that was said. Outstanding.
This is an extraordinarily well-designed, smart, and user-friendly app that really did get me running for 30 minutes in 9 weeks. I am 62 years old and gave up running in my 20s because of knee injuries. Using GetRunning has worked so well: no injuries (thanks to the brilliantly thought-out pacing of the program) and I can't stop boring everyone with the details of my achievement. I'm recommending this to everyone I know. I'll keep running but, gee, I'm gonna miss Claire. What a brilliant choice of voice-over artist!
Best running app for a beginner by far
Sietamarita
By far the best, least complicated app I have tried. With the best results. Just motivational enough, achievable progressions and no fuss. I have completed it in the past but was injured (unrelated to running) and unable to run for a couple of years. This app is old school now but I’ve tried others and they don’t work for me. I’m using it to get back into running. Have just competed week 3 and remembering again how much I love running!
It’s always my starting point
Undulator
Every time I’ve fallen off with my fitness or life has gotten in the way, this app has been the thing to get me back on track. I used it after my first baby, after I recovered from a broken ankle, and after my second baby. The prompts are gentle and encouraging, the runs are achievable and if you are able to stick roughly to the schedule, you’ll see great improvement in your running distance. Love it.
Great app

Helped me get back into running twice after two surgeries.I’d recommend building up to walking on alternate days for 45 mins over several months and then maybe daily for a couple of weeks before starting the program.Don’t feel bad if you end up needing to repeat the week 1 program for a couple of weeks either. At least you’re still going!
