Description

Start your 5K running journey today! 5K Run is the best running app for beginners who want to learn to run. Go from walking to running a 5K in just 8 weeks with our proven walk-to-run interval training program. No experience needed — this beginner running plan will get you across the finish line!

🏃 HOW THE 5K TRAINING PLAN WORKS

Your 8-week program builds your endurance gradually using run/walk intervals. You'll start with short 1-minute jogging intervals between 1.5-minute walks. Each week the running intervals get longer and the walking breaks get shorter. Before you know it, you'll be running a full 5K without stopping!

Week 1: Short jog intervals with walking recovery
Weeks 2–4: Gradually longer running intervals
Weeks 5–7: Extended runs with fewer walk breaks
Week 8: Run a full 5K — you did it!

🎧 YOUR PERSONAL RUNNING COACH

Take your phone on your runs and let 5K Run coach you through every step. Your running coach tells you exactly when to run, walk, warm up, and cool down — right through your headphones or speakers. Play your favorite music from any music app and the coach will chime in over your playlist.

While running, see at a glance:
✔ Total run time elapsed
✔ Time remaining on your run
✔ Current interval countdown

Need a break? Pause anytime. Skip forward or back between intervals with simple controls.

v50.0.14

used to be a really good minimal app to help increment runs and train to running 5km. now using AI features that aren't needed or useful and charging exorbitant prices for an inferior service, would recommend other services

I like previous versions of the app. No longer free. it's a glorified timer of an app but that's what made it convenient & a good app to use. pre-programmed time programs for 3x/weekly running exercises with variation each week. Paying a subscription is a waste of your time and money. just make your own pre-recorded videos to play in the background as a timer and monitor with simple GPS app like strava and you'll get the same results. I kept it on previous versions for its simplicity.

this app is so good..tbh I would never have started running in the first place without this app. I have tried loads of couch to 5k apps and none of them were good and not quite how I would like it but this app has everything u possibly could want and is mostly ad free.I have now ran loads of 5k races all thanks to this app and I have even upped my goal to 8k and ran some 8k races too and I have also ran 2 10k races but I still make sure to get some 5k runs in throughout the week etc.So s tysm😊

Developer Response

Kelsey, this genuinely made our day. Going from never running to 5k, 8k and even 10k races is a massive achievement, and you did all the hard miles. Thank you for trusting the app through all of it. We just shipped a big update with new features to keep training fresh, so enjoy, and happy running. 😊
