About this app

RunDouble Couch to 5K goes way beyond any other Couch to 5K app! It is a complete training companion, starting with the Couch to 5K plan, and taking you right through to half marathon.

Couch to 5K by RunDouble is the easiest way to meet your goal, of running 5K in just 9 weeks, but don't feel daunted, you can take longer if you need. It follows the popular Couch to 5K plan, (not to be confused with the alternative C25K plan), written by Josh Clark.

You choose the pace - from a gentle jog to a quick run, and progress through the weeks at your leisure. Run three times a week, taking rest days between, and soon you'll be calling yourself a runner. Put your headphones on, choose your own music, and just follow the prompts. Starting with just 1 minute of running at a time, it couldn't be easier.

Couch to 5K is growing as fast as popular as workouts like Zumba, simply because of the number of people who are turning their lives around. No gym fees, no expensive equipment, no special diet. You just you, your phone, and the road. Get out there, get Couch to 5K and get yourself fit.

RunDouble now supports Android Wear, meaning you have your stats right there on your wrist - no more bulky phone holders.

I love the concept & features. It's the only app I've seen with distance intervals for 5k trainer & improver. I have an Android phone & I couldn't purchase the upgrade. I was able to purchase the upgrade on the website & was able to sync my phone to the website. HOWEVER, I'm still unable to access anything past the free 2 weeks - it still prompts me to purchase an upgrade. I have reached out twice & have a case number but never heard back. Would love to give better review but need more access.

This is the best of its kind for simplicity and price. Works seamlessly with bluetooth and external audio player. I've had problems with that with several other apps. If you don't need and don't want cheerleading, annoying voices, too many announcements, or diet advice and other stuff, this app is what you want. I'm using it coming back to running after 10 months off. I don't need a lot of guidance, I just wanted inexpensive training plans to use until I get back to good. This is perfect.

I've used the timed version of the runs with few issues (it never synced with my watch as it is supposed to) but now that I am trying to use the distance runs I find that it consistently loses GPS signal. All the necessary settings are there to allow it but I see in other reviews that this is a common issue that the developers are not willing to fix. It is quite frustrating to keep checking my phone to make sure that it is still tracking the distance correctly. It really defeats the purpose of having the app, which I paid to have the full version of. If you are only planning on running for time, just stick with the free version. It's a waste of money for anything else. The developers are relying on past positive reviews to get revenue without supporting current/new users with issues.
