Spud: Couch to 5K Run Coach
Training Plan & App Blocker
Free · In‑App Purchases
Stop skipping the runs you promised yourself.
Spud is a couch to 5K running coach with a twist: on your training days, the apps that steal your runs stay paused until you've run. Finish the run and they come straight back.
A PLAN BUILT AROUND YOU
• Starts from where you are today, even if that's the couch
• Run-walk first, then real runs: 5K, 10K, half marathon or marathon
• Every session written out step by step, with a cue for every interval
• Outside or on a treadmill
• Spud checks in on how you feel and makes today easier, shorter or a rest day when you need it
THE LOCK THAT GETS YOU OUT THE DOOR
• Pick the apps that eat your evenings
• In your run window they wait until today's run is done
• A heads-up an hour before, and again 15 minutes before your apps lock
• Emergency override is always one tap away
EVERY RUN COUNTS
• Track runs with GPS on iPhone, or on Apple Watch with no phone needed
• Garmin, COROS, Polar, Suunto, Fitbit and more count through Apple Health, with step-by-step setup for each
• Bring in years of past runs from Apple Health
• Pair a Bluetooth heart-rate strap
SEE HOW FAR YOU'VE COME
• Your distance as real trips from your own town
• Race predictor, training load and pace trend
• Streaks, levels and badges, with friends and leaderboards through Game Center
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your plan and runs live on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. Sign in with Apple if you want them backed up to a new phone. Optional. No ads, no tracking.
