I need a good couch to 5k app.

Me too! I can't stand synthisized music! I was just about to start this same line of questions. Also, treadmill or outside (in the cold)?

I use "Ease into 5k" you can listen to your own music and it has voice prompts to tell you when to run and when to walk. It also keeps a journal of your runs (mileage, time, pace.) I'm on week three and really enjoying it.

There are many good ones through the App Store.....

I have done the C 2 5K and the C 2 10K.

Don't be afraid to spend a few dollars....you get what you pay for....

My C25k cost a little less than $5 and it was excellent.....My 10K was free and STUNK! So I downloaded another one that cost a few bucks and it was worth it.

Incidentally, I cannot run without MY favorite music, that means GOOD noise canceling earbuds, so it is just me and my music, oblivious to anyone and everything around me....

And the music cannot be "Calm, gentle and smoothing"....I HAVE to have hard driving, loud rock and roll....

Also, I will not use my phone....last thing I want is text messages, e-mails or calls beeping in the background. Plus it will get dropped, wet, and just

take a lot of abuse.

I am in Florida so it'll be outside. It is still hot and humid here!!!

I LOVE Jeff Galloway. He has great apps and teaches you how to run injury free. His app also comes with his voice piping in and giving you good tips and advise. I love it!

I use one called C25K I'm on week 3 and I like it. Can play your own music and it has the prompts that break in to tell you when to run and when to walk.
