What’s New
Version 5.0.1
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.
• Fixed an issue where runs could mistakenly be marked as complete after ending a run early.
Ratings and Reviews
This is the perfect C25K app!
I used Zen labs c25k app for years but after taking a break from running I was gutted to find they had selected the pro app I’d paid for and forced me into a very expensive subscription model if I wanted to run with my watch only - which I do!
But I’m grateful to them as it made me look around - and I found this perfect app! It is watch-only, no need to sync with my phone. The voice prompt is LOVELY, my data isn’t being creepily harvested, and I’ve paid a one off fee rather than having to deal with ads or be ripped off by a subscription. Also, and most importantly to me… I can READ the screen without needing my glasses! So well designed.
Thank you Ben! You have made this jogger a happy lass indeed!
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the glowing review! I'm glad you are enjoying all aspects of the app including the voice prompts and the design. Good luck with the rest of your running! Thanks again!
Everything you need and nothing you don’t!
This app has everything you could possibly need to compete couch to 5K: voice prompts, music support, GPS tracking, data analysis, achievements, all while allowing you to run without needing your phone. It’s a polished little package to get you started on your running journey.
For a small fee you get a brilliant little app and no adverts. If you are on the fence about which couch to 5k app to download, this is the one you should download!
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 :) Good luck with getting to your first 5K.
incredible app for beginner runners
i’ve been wanting to run for a while now, and this is literally perfect for training to do longer runs. i’m 3 weeks in, and at the beginning could not fathom running for more than 1 minute straight and here i am doing 3 minutes. it doesn’t seem like a lot but it really is, and has been seriously beneficial for my chronic pain. this is a rare but well deserved Apple W
