I have been looking at several C25K apps on iTunes and I cannot decide which is the best. Can any one give me the pros and cons of the one you use. Will one of the free ones be good enough?

Yes. The one i have is called Run Double. I believe it was free and you can use it with or without your playlist. You can repeat runs if you dont feel comfortable going forward.

I use the C25K app by Zen Labs. I like it. It allows you to do a week over and you can play your music as well. You can also run the app in the background and use another app at the same time. Like for me, I use the C25K app and run my Nike+ app at the same time, that way I get my cals calculated as well as the pace.

I haven't found a "con" to it. Overall I'm pleased. And you can also share your achievement on social networks. Plus it doesn't kill the battery.

Good luck :)

I use the same one lalaj uses. I have the free version and one thing I don't like is that it doesn't post much to my Facebook. I have a group of friends who are real supportive and it just simply says that I completed the day. I am a big fan of the Runkeeper app. Not a couch to 5k one but I enjoy it.

I use Ease into 5k. I like the intervals better than C25k. I love that I can listen to my own music! Great ap.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
