Get Running

Get Running is a personal trainer with a human voice for your iPhone™ or iPod Touch™. Even if you’ve never run before, Get Running will gently introduce you to running with a nine-week fitness plan.

Based on Josh Clark's famous Couch to 5K plan, Get Running lets you run at your own pace. It alternates walking and running for the first six weeks, to ease you into running without leaving you exhausted. Get Running figures everything out for you — the best days to run, how long to run for, and when to take a day off!

Did we mention that Get Running talks? Professionally-recorded voice prompts guide you at every stage, letting you know when to warm up, when to walk, when to run, when to cool down — even, at the halfway mark, when to head back home!

Get Running takes away the drudgery and leaves you to concentrate on the easy bit — the running! It plans your runs, talks you through your exercise, it records your progress, and even tells you when to warm up and cool down. All you have to do is put one foot in front of the other!

Following the C25K plan, Get Running builds your fitness up in manageable stages. At the beginning, you walk and run, never running for more than a couple of minutes in a row. In week five's sessions you're running for fifteen minutes — three five-minute runs, with walking in between. By the end of the Get Running fitness plan you'll be running for thirty minutes solid!

Want your music playing while you run? No problem! Get Running plays nicely with your iPod Touch or iPhone’s music. Get Running’s voice prompts will mix in with your tunes as you run.
