About “Couch to 5K”
The goal of the program is to get into shape to complete a 5K race. The program is broken out over nine weeks. Each week has three workout days to allow for resting in between. It starts off with many short intervals between walking and running (or jogging) and progresses to larger intervals, then mostly running. It would be best to research the "Couch to 5K" plan to get a better understanding before using this app. As with any exercise activity, know your limits, start out slow, and always warm up to avoid injury. It is common for new runners to repeat days or even weeks of the program before moving on. Stick with it!

Getting started
Load up the app, select your desired starting point (defaults to Week 1 Day 1). Hit “Start” to start from a new activity, hit “Resume” to start where you left off. Click “Start” to begin the day's workout when you are ready and either watch the timers on a treadmill or listen to the audio/vibrate cues to switch between walking and running. It's as easy as that!
