5 stars: C25K® - 5K Running Trainer apk download - Easy to use and plays nicely with podcast and music apps. I finished the last workout in less than the advertised time. But then it just left me hanging, wondering whether I'd really run 5k or that included the warm up and cool down. And motivation gone! I don't really want to run 10k, it takes too long, I'd rather improve my speed at 5k. So, totally satisfactory, does the job, but am looking for another app now.
4 stars: C25K® - 5K Running Trainer apk download - I've never been athletic and definitely not a runner. When I started the thought of running for 60 seconds was a daunting one. The app progresses reasonably and it's easy to repeat days if you need a little extra time before moving on. Very user friendly. Being able to use a music app like Google play would make it a 5 star.
4 stars: - Great app. Seemless integration with Google Play Music or my podcast app. The C25K voiceover actually pauses the music/podcast rather than play over it, and then unpauses. I love it! My only problem is every so often the voiceover speeds up and sounds like someone inhaled a bunch of helium. Fortunately, the rewind function lets me back up to hear the instructions again if I need to. I also love the lock function. No pocket dialing for me!
4 stars: - I haven't run in a little over a decade. This app is great at easing you into it, even as a beginner. The only negative thing I would have to say is that it doesn't incorporate warm up stretches or cool down stretches. Stretching out your muscles is really important to avoid injury and to properly prepare your body for the activity.
5 stars: - I'm starting my road back to taking care of my health by getting back into running. Already by the time I've written this review ...
