Just finished week 9 run 3 and all I can say is this app changed my life. Great job.

I LOVE your app. I have tried several but Yours is the BEST for me. I am 60 years young this year & a cancer survivor. I have set the goal to run 5 K races. I use your program as my trainer, it is SUPER. Thank You. Vickie Wheeler by email

I tried the top selling "Couch to 5k" App before I purchased this one, and this one is much nicer to use. The voice reminders are very helpful. I like how it pauses your music instead of talking over it. I highly recommend it over the others.

Thank you so much for this little gem of an app. I had a look at others like it but this wins hands down. It is so brilliantly simple with a great interface.

Thank you! This app has changed my life. I was unfit and didn't do any regular exercise. I always blamed my asthma for being the reason I couldn't run for longer than a minute, but now I know it's because I was unfit! I have signed up for a 5k race too! @amyriddett on Twitter

Really great app. I'm actually looking forward to running. I listen to podcasts and this app is terrific at pausing the show to make it's announcements. I don't miss anything that was said. Outstanding.

What's New in Version 1.8.3

Get Running is now a fully Retina App, and about time too! Thanks to Jamie Hill for prodding us to get this done.

Customer Reviews

Great interval trainer (5 stars)
This is a really good implementation of an interval training program. I'm actually using it for intervals on a stationary bike, and it woks great. The voice is encouraging and informative, and works well with music (music quietens slightly when she talks). I would definitely recommend this app to others.

A couple of suggestions for the devs, which would make this a SIX star app:

* Provide an independent volume control for

Wow! (5 stars)
Didn't believe at 50 years old I could go from couch to 5K, but with the help of this app, I did. Great app!!

Great app but... (3 stars)
The iPod button does not show up on my phone so I actually have to exit the app to play/adjust my music. A GPS feature would be nice so I can track my distance. Also I notice some of the other similar apps have a journal feature that might not be a bad idea. And it would be nice to be able to preview the next session's workout so I can mentally prepare.

All in all a great app for the price and I would definitely recommend it!
