Get Running App Reviews

I downloaded this app based off a friends recommendation and I love it! I never thought I’d enjoy running so much. The segments are manageable with plenty of time to recover during the walking sections. I was concerned my heart rate wouldn’t enjoy running but this program seems well designs to build up the cardio. The voice over is calming and encouraging. She speaks just enough at the right times and even turns down the volume of my music when she is talking. I’m about to start week three and I’m looking forward to it.

I started off looking at apps like C2K5 and 5K Runner, but am pleased with this one. It is not as flashy or featured packed as some others but the simplicity is one of the reasons why it works so well. Voice prompts are great and well timed and the week by week pacing is just right. My only request, so far, is that I wish there was an Apple Watch app. I’d really like to do quick visual checks of my progress in each run without getting my phone out, unlocking it, opening the app etc. A glance at my wrist would be much more convenient. 🙏🏻

If you are looking for a way to ease into running - this program is certainly that! Excellent guidance, pace, timing and growth. Highly recommend for the beginner who has put off running in the past or has tried and failed because they were too aggressive and/or found themselves with an related to poor training.

This is one of the best apps ever! I really love it. It's totally worth the money.

I really enjoy this app. It's easy to use and the woman's voice is very encouraging, giving you updates along the way of how far you have to go. That really helps me.

Great app. It's the only one of its kind that gives you both a 30 and 15 second stop and start running warning. For me, this feature is indispensable. Minus one star because it's in serious need of an upgrade--no Apple Watch features. Also, week 5 jumps you up by too big of an increment. It needs to be more gradual in its approach at week 5.

I love it and have used it many times over the years. I tend to run for a while and then get lazy and stop for a long period of time. So then I go back to this app. I’ve completed the training twice and I quit it once. It’s still amazes me that it’s so hard to run for a short period of time when I start the training but by the end I’m running a 5k non-stop!

BUT I LOVE THIS APP SO MUCH. It was exactly what I needed to start a running routine without letting myself down by burning out. The incremental buildup of endurance has rekindle my love of exercise, but also helped me develop greater discipline mentally. Also the nice British lady is very encouraging :)

I've started this app several times. I don't think I ever made it to the end. Hopefully I will this time. I do get a notice that says the developer needs to update the app.

Used this when I first started running. Definitely recommend.

Love the app, it is non-intrusive and it will pause my podcasts instead of talking over them when it gives 30 and 10 second warnings.

I love this app! I have had it for years and it always gets me back on track with my fitness. Before I tried this app, I hated running. After only a week of using it I was hooked. I absolutely love running. I have had to stop running several times do to knee injuries, weather, the holidays, etc and this app always get me back on track. I start out easy and the intensity increases each week but, because the progression is gradual, it makes running easy and enjoyable. I love discovering what my body is capable of and then going even beyond what I thought I could do. Thanks Get Running!

I did this app a few years ago. In no time I was running my first 5K, I lost weight and was toned up. I had a few difficult years ( emotional times with great losses ) and fell away from running. I am back at it with this app starting from week 1 I set a bucket list of 5K runs from Michigan to Minnesota to Florida. I am going to be 65 and I know I can do the 5K. Who knows maybe 10K.

There’s something about the coach’s soothing British voice that makes me smile, even when I feel like giving up. That said, sometimes I get excited or hopeful when she starts speaking, only to be disappointed that I have 45 seconds MORE of exertion 🙂. Other than that, I’ve used this app a couple times over the last few years to get back into cardio health after pregnancy and general laziness. I’ve even used the interval prompts for things like jumping rope, kettle ball swings and other calistenthics as a workout when I can’t run.

An Olympic speed athlete at 15 yrs old I was born to run. Life has had a way of allowing me the excuse of interfering from time to time. This app gets me going again every time. There's no excuse. Download, get your shoes on and walk out the door.

This app was great for me as a brand new runner. It was easy enough that I didn't quit and yet challenging enough to build stamina, muscle, and endurance. I also lost a few pounds- which is a double plus for me . Wud give 5 stars but haven't been able to figure out how to measure my distance and that wud be nice to know for added motivation.

Love the little words of encouragement along the way

I love to take walks/runs with this app very motivated worth the price I paid. Thank you < 3

Great app. I’m not a natural runner, and have been out of it for years. I’d try to fire up, pull a muscle and quit. Repeat every year. Thanks to lovely English lady, I’ve been running for three weeks and it’s just starting to feel good. Stoked to be running again, can’t wait for my body to transform

This is the running app I've kept! I first added it about 5 years ago, after having problems with others. When I stop for awhile, Get Running sounds like an old friend welcoming me back and encouraging me to keep going (on what I affectionately call my 'wog' - walk/jog). I've had friends join me on runs and, after hearing this app, added it themselves. I saw a message about the 32-bit technology: I hope there is an update for this app soon so I will be able to continue to use it....

So far app has worked very well. I give it four out of five stars, I'm only in my third week. I will be back in to get it just review after full use of the app. Enjoy everyone.

September 12, 2017 Update from ⭐️ to ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nice to see an update!! ....BUMMER I can't connect/post to my Facebook anymore. Can't have it all, I guess. -------------- May 30, 2017 I PURCHASED, with MONEY, your "Get Running" app. I still use it and really enjoy it.....BUT.....I am now getting a warning message that the developer has to update the app to run on future versions of Apple iOS. Ummmm, should I worry??!! This app has not been touched/updated in 4 years (since 2013)!!!??!!

This app absolutely is the best. I literally went from sitting on the couch with no activity to running a 5k at the end of the 9 weeks. I love the motivation you get as your running. I never thought I was capable but, I did it.

I was coming off of 3 surgeries and had been out of running for over 6 months. This program was the perfect progression to get me back in the game.

I never thought I'd like running. This app has a great plan to ease you into running more and more. I've tried this before but the trick is to stick with it. Run when you are supposed to, not when it fits your schedule. And when you think it's a big leap in time length, it is but you actually CAN do it!! I was surprised when I completed my runs! I reached my goal of running a 5k and already signed up for my next one! Highly recommend! Also I love the coaching voice. She's great!!

I hadn't been running in several years, due to a knee injury. The app got me back into the groove, a sexy British voice guiding my progress. It's easy to control the pace. If you're not ready for a particular increase in duration, simply delete that day's log entry and repeat as many time as you wish, until you're ready for the next step. Brilliant.

Easy to use. Only improvement would be GPS so I don't have to open MapMyRun to track actual distance.

I never really believed I could build up to running for any amount of time. I was soooo out of shape. But this app had made it super easy! I like the encouraging coaching and how easy it is to repeat a week if I'm not quite ready to move up to the next one. I've been doing this program for 6 weeks now and am on Week 4 which has me running up to 5 minutes at a time! I would have laughed in your face if you said I could do that before! I also like that I can play my own playlist from my music library and the coaching works seamlessly with it. Well done! I'll be running a 5K in no time!

This app works.. I'm a first time runner didn't know how to start...this app helped me so much...I love it and recommend it

This app got me motivated an excited to run! What a wonderful app! Better than any other one! Really works and is easy because it doesn't require a wifi or data connection!

This has helped me so much! You build up gradually and before you know it you can run!!

Easy to use, track progress, and keeps you motivated.

I’ve recommended to several friends and they love it too. It’s design in a way that keeps pushing you to run more each time.

I really love this app for the most part. It has helped me lose a bunch of weight and feel really strong because I've gradually worked up to being able to do something I never could've done a few weeks ago. There is one thing I would change, and one concern. I would change it so that you can set it so it actually pauses your Music or Podcasts, rather than just talking over it. Because it doesn't pause it, you can't really listen to a podcast without having to rewind it every time she speaks. The concern I have is that one of the weeks jumps ahead endurance-wise. It goes from interval running to a 20 minute straight run, back to interval running. I was able to do this, but I know that seeing a 20 minute run could really discourage other people who maybe need to build up more before they can run for that kind of time.

I think this is the best running app for beginners

This app makes beginning running easier!!! I just stick to the schedule and get better each day!!!

So easy to use and most important it gives results!!! Been using this app for 5 weeks and I’ve already seen an improvement! Great motivation along the way and my music wasn’t Interrupted!! I highly recommend!!!!!

If you want a solid C25K app that's easy to use, without all the BS and terrible design of so many other apps, look no further. Still getting updates after many years. Thank you for an excellent app, one of my favorite app purchases!

This app is wonderful! Claire's a perfect supportive coach for the hard work. I've never been a good runner. But this app helped me build my strength and endurance up, exactly as it was designed to do. I ran my first 5K only a couple of days ago, with Calire's voice urging me on towards the finish line, and I want to keep on running. It's a blast. Please build a 10K, 1/2 or a full marathon version for those of us who love your app. If you're just playing with the idea of achieving a 5K goal and you're a novice, or working yourself back into shape, this app will help see you through to completion. It will.

I use this app every time I have been away from running for awhile and have to start to slowly build up my endurance again. I don’t know what I would do without it, it’s a lifesaver.

Gets you running and closer to your goal.

So easy! Just follow the instructions and in no time you will be running 30 minutes straight.

I love this app! Please update it!!!

I could not run 3 min 9 months ago! Just did a 5k this weekend! Fantastic app!!!!

I’m on my 2nd time through this 8 wk running app. The first time was four years ago before having my youngest child. That time I went from completely sedentary to running a 5k 3x a week. I’m two weeks in this time and can already tell it’s working again. Each run I have a little more to give for a little bit longer. I may never be fast, but I know I’ll end this 8 weeks able to run the full half hour without stopping.

This app got me from not running to running a half an hour non stop. There something great and encouraging about the voice. Maybe it's the British accent. Not a lot of talking in between, just enough to keep you motivated.
