----- ABOUT THE APP -----
5K Runner is the the most advanced get-in-shape app that will help you get off the couch and do a 5K (3.1Mile) run in 8 weeks. The app guides you through an 8 week program, 3 times a week, where in each workout you alternate walks and runs. An audio coach tells you when walk and when to run, as well as warmup & cooldown. The walking/running intervals gradually increase in effort over 8 weeks, with more running and less walking, until you run a 5K in one straight run.
It also works perfectly with your iPod/iPhone music player, so you can listen & enjoy music while exercising, with the audio coach telling you what to do at each interval. You don't need to look at your watch, as everything is timed and tracked. You can even run any GPS app that you want if you want to track your running route (like Nike+ GPS or any other running GPS app).
5K Runner also tracks your achievements and lets you review each step you have done in the past. You will also earn badges as you reach important milestones, and will have the opportunity to share them with your friends if you want.
