Description
Go from sitting on the couch to running 5km! Let the app guide you through your running exercise, alternating between running and walking. Now on Apple Watch!
Zero to 5k is a running program designed for beginners. The plan consists of 3 activities per week, for a total of 9 weeks, where you will be alternating between running and walking. As you progress through the program, the amount of running will increase, while the amount of walking will reduce. At the end of the program, you will be able to run an entire 5km!
The app will guide you through each stage, letting you know when and for how long to run or walk.
While using the app in the background (i.e. your phone is closed while running outside), you will receive notifications with sound telling you how long to run or walk.
If the stage you are at is too difficult, there is no problem with going back a few stages.
Heart rate training is an alternative running program in Zero to 5k app that allows you to run within an optimal heart rate. Use your heart rate readings (bpm) during a workout to run within an optimal effort range. Receive notifications on your device when you reach your min and max heart rate to start running or walking.
Calculating your effort range is made easy in Zero to 5K. Your age is a good estimator to calculate your optimal effort level.
Your max heart rate = 220 - your age
Optimal effort range is 75% - 90% of max heart rate.
You can also manual adjust the min and max desired heart rate.
What’s New
Version 2.0
App Changes:
- Made all 9 stages free, allowing everyone to go from 0 to 5k at no expenses. The #1 goal of this app is to enable people to run 5k, so we're making this feature free.
- Heart rate training is rebranded to Zero to 5k Plus+ and still requires an in-app purchase to use. Anyone who purchased full access will continue to have access to this feature.
Ratings and Reviews
Great but dark mode is broken
Overall a great app
One thing that needs a fix is dark mode. When you open a specific run the list of segments looks broken. Same thing for the heart rate tab.
Also I’d consider adding at least a minute or two for a warmup before starting the run to allow users to hide their phone before starting the run.
Now when you press “start run” it starts instantly and you have to either run with your phone in hand or try to put it in your pocket while running.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your feedback, it’s really appreciated and helps improve the app. I added a new update that fixes the dark mode UI issues. I also incorporated in that update your suggestion for a warmup and cooldown phase. I hope you enjoy the app!
