The proven C25K program was designed for inexperienced runners who are just beginning. The plan's structure prevents new runners from giving up and challenges them to continue moving forward.

Just started using this app, after putting it off for a while. The daily inspirations are nice, but the constant request to join the community that accompanies it is beginning to be a nuisance. Also, there is no way to discern what stage of your run you're in without checking your phone. I was running for a while before I checked and discovered I was supposed to be in my cool down. Otherwise, the jogging/walking timingbis great for beginners.

I had the app on my Samsung galaxy watch, but then it was gone? Anyway, this app is fine but it's annoying that the "public service announcements" (You're halfway! and One minute to go!) use the same chime as the "start running!" message. When it said halfway, I started jogging again only to get a message a bit later that I needed to start jogging. Maybe give those messages a different sound?

Paid for the app, but can't export/download the training plan. I'm here for the plan, not the tracking, but you won't let me easily use Strava or my Garmin to track my runs (like I do with literally every other activity)? Won't be spending the money on this publisher's other apps due to this. Admittedly this is a big bummer, because the plan itself actually seems pretty decent and I'm enjoying it otherwise
