Train With Trish: 5K (Couch to 5K) app review: become the runner that you never knew you could be

Reviews

Introduction

What we’ve got here is a fantastic iPhone and iPad app that is designed for those of you who would like to get into running but aren’t too sure where to begin. You’ll find a full nine-week program plus loads of additional features to help guide you every step of the way.

This is a very well-conceived app which I think serves a great purpose; that is, of helping sedentary people get off of their couches and out into the fresh air to start getting more exercise and improving their health and general well-being.

There are loads of “couch to 5K” apps available in the Health & Fitness category of the App Store so you might want to run a quick comparison before settling on this one, but you won’t go too far stray if you just want to jump in and get started right away.
