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.

Love this app!

I rarely write reviews for anything but had to for this app. I specifically wanted one to use on my Apple Watch so that I didn’t need to take my phone with me. This does that and more. It’s so simple to use and shows you a breakdown of the weeks ahead so you can see how your runs change over time and what to expect next time. I love that you can listen to and control your music from within the app. And I love the voice prompts that come through your headphones (if you’re using them) to tell you when to run, when to walk, when you’re halfway through (which is just fantastic) and when you’re done. If you don’t have headphones connected, there are nice little haptics to tell you when your time for each section is up and the screen has a little person showing you whether to walk or run. To top it off, at the end you get a breakdown of what you did on your run like how long you ran for etc. For the price, it’s so worth it. If you’re considering starting a couch to 5k, get this app.

Brilliant App. No iPhone required. Back running again!

What a brilliant App. Wouldn’t be too much to say it transformed my fitness life!! I was suffering with an injury for a number of years and every time I went back to run I would get reinjured. That was until I used this Couch to 5k app. By using the app it enabled me to build the running up at a steady pace, build strength and avoid injury. I use it with my Apple Air Pods and love the way the app works with music playing in the background and also voice prompts to tell you what you need to do so you don’t have to look at your watch the whole time. You also don’t need your iPhone with you which is fantastic as if gives you a real sense of freedom to just run. The app has all the stats you would want from doing a run and motivates you to keep going. I really cannot recommend getting into running with this app enough. It made me feel great to be out exercising again.

Perfect for doing c25k

I have just used this app to complete the C25K and found it very helpful as I just like to run with my watch on no music. It taps your wrist when its time to run, half way etc. It gives a great breakdown of your run, heart rate, elevation, distance and an actual map of where you have ran. I used it today with headphones and there was no annoying voices telling you how to breath etc. just prompting half way and when to run. I have been going over the last week to see if I can improve my distance and heat rate and you can easily compare these on the app on your phone. Now I would really like a 10K one please. I can’t seem to find one. Thanks so much for such a great app, it has really helped me achieve my fitness goals.
