🏃 FROM COUCH TO RUNNER IN 25 DAYS

You've been thinking about starting to run. Maybe you tried before and gave up. Maybe you've never run a day in your life. That's exactly who this app is for.

Learn to Run is a structured walk-run interval training program that takes complete beginners from zero to real running in just 25 days. Every day, the app tells you exactly what to do: when to walk, when to run, and for how long. You just press Start and follow along.

🎯 3 PROGRAMS, YOUR PACE

Not everyone starts from the same place. Pick the beginner running plan that fits you:

• Easy Start — Short, gentle sessions for total beginners. Peak workout: ~30 min of running.
• Balanced — The classic C25K-style progression. Builds you steadily to ~60 min of continuous running.
• Advanced — For those who want more. Pushes you to ~120 min at your peak.

Each program spans 25 workouts. Walk a little, run a little. Day by day, the running gets longer and the walking gets shorter — until you're running the whole thing.

📱 PHONE IN POCKET, JUST RUN

No need to stare at your screen. Start the workout, put your phone in your pocket, and listen for the bell.

• Audio cues tell you when to switch between walking and running
• 3 bell sounds to choose from (Classic, Soft, Sharp)
• Works alongside your music or podcast
• The timer keeps running even with screen off — no missed cues

📊 SEE YOUR PROGRESS

After every run, you see a summary of your minutes walked and ran. On the home screen, a progress bar shows how far you've come through your 5K training plan. Simple and motivating.

💰 FREE. NO SUBSCRIPTION. EVER.

The full app is free. All 3 programs. All 25 days. If you like it, you can make a one-time purchase to remove ads — but that's entirely optional.
