What’s New
Version 5.0.0
OPEN RUN SUPPORT
Everyone runs at a unique pace. While the program aims for continuous running for 30 minutes, not everyone can achieve a 5K within this time and may miss out on achievements like the 5K distance milestone. Open Run lets you run at your preferred pace without time or distance constraints. Whether it's 3K, 5K, 40 minutes, or more, the choice is yours!
KILOMETRE SPLITS
As you advance in the plan and transition to continuous running without walk breaks, the Watch to 5K iPhone companion app will display Splits. This feature helps you track your progress and analyse performance more effectively.
Kilometre Splits will show for all Open Runs.
AUDIO IMPROVEMENTS
Watch to 5K seamlessly integrates with your favourite music player or podcast app. In version 5, the app will now temporarily pause spoken audio from podcasts or audiobooks while providing prompts, instead of simply lowering the audio as before. Music apps will still be lowered, not paused.
During Open runs, the virtual coach updates you on your progress at each kilometre, keeping you informed on your total run time, distance, and average pace.
You can also double-tap the screen to hear your current progress.
OTHER ENHANCEMENTS
• Satellite share images are now higher quality.
• Route lines have been refined to reduce sharp corners in specific instances.
• Improved accuracy of stats in the segment breakdown within the iPhone companion app, addressing minor inaccuracies caused by pauses during runs.
• Average heart rate is now included in the Run Details section of the iPhone app.
Ratings and Reviews
Almost perfect
I love the app, love the fact it’s not a subscription and love the fact it records HR and splits up the runs/walks in the fitness app. However… Adding an option to change Siri’s accent would be nice. It currently sounds a bit too robotic and can be a little hard to understand at times.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the glowing review. We entriely agree that a 5K running plan should not require a subscription. We think a simple upfront small fee is fair for everyone :)
Multiple accents for the virtual coach is something on the todo list for a future version.
Good luck with getting to your first 5K
Love the app, but
Everything is perfect with the app, but there seems to be an error with the running program.
Week 5 starts with 5 min runs on day 1.
Day 2 jumps to 8 min runs and day 3 has a 20 min run.
Week 6 day 1 then drops down to 5 min, 8 min and 5 min runs. That makes no sense.
I can’t go from running for 5 min to a 20 min nonstop run and if I can do 20min non stop then I don’t need to go back to the 5 min run.
I saw other apps in the AppStore and it seems like this one has the order wrong.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad you are enjoying using the app.
The program has been designed to build up stamina and running ability over time. The app follows the UK NHS plan which has been tried and tested by thousands of people and although the 20min run may sound difficult you have been building up to it. Just take it at a gentle pace and you will be amazed at what you can do.
Good luck with the running.
Better than other apps
This app is great I like the fact I only pay once and it’s a small fee, but I don’t hear the voice even when my headphones are paired to my watch and my workouts aren’t sent to my Strava account which I dislike. Not sure if this is just me and I’m doing something wrong or what. Thanks I’m advance if there’s a response
