Free · In‑App Purchases

RunCue 5K: Your Journey from Couch to 5K! Transform "I can't run" into "I just did" with the proven 9-week program. Because your couch has had you long enough! Invest in your health today! Why Choose RunCue 5K? • No subscriptions!!! (my motivation to make the app): No monthly fees here. Try the first 2 weeks completely free without any feature restrictions, then unlock the full 9-week program with a one-time purchase. Roughly the cost of a fancy coffee you didn’t need, but WAY better for you. • Simple: Just press start and go. No accounts, no clutter, no extra noise. • Apple Watch App: Check your progress at a glance. Your phone still runs the show. • Live Activities: Your run progress, living on your lock screen and Dynamic Island like it pays rent there. • Reminders: Pick your 3 run days and get reminders to workout on those days. Because good intentions need a backup plan. • Smart Audio: Voice cues tell you exactly when to run and walk (we promise to be nicer than your high school gym teacher). • Proven Program: Start with intervals so easy, your couch will file for abandonment. • Progress Tracking: Watch yourself level up from "where's the remote?" to "where's the finish line?" with beautiful stats. • Run & Listen: Keep enjoying your true crime podcasts while we occasionally interrupt to remind you that you're supposed to be running. Other: • Voice Options: Choose between male or female coaches (both equally persistent). • Optional Halfway Cue: Optional "halfway there" announcement (or as we like to call it: "Only halfway more to go!"). • Customizable Timing: Add warm-ups and cool-downs because we're not 16 anymore (and if you are, you can turn them off). • Stats That Matter: Track distance, time, and pace in real-time (bragging rights included). • Running Log: Document your journey from "I might die" to "I did it!" Perfect For: • Professional couch enthusiasts ready for a change. • First-time runners (and second-time first-time runners). • People whose fitness tracker thinks they're permanently napping. • Anyone who's ever said "I'll start tomorrow." Download now and join thousands who've discovered that running isn't as terrible as they thought! (Results may vary. Sweat is guaranteed. High fives are virtual but enthusiastic.)
