Everything you need to run your first 5K

Voice coaching that knows where you are

A real voice tells you when to walk and when to run. Plays over your music and ducks only when speaking.

Nine weeks · twenty-seven runs

The classic Couch to 5K plan — three runs a week, gentle progression, built for non-runners.

Apple Watch ready

Start from your wrist, leave the phone at home. Runs sync straight to Apple Health.

A finish line you can see

Streaks, achievements, share cards. Every run you finish stacks into a history you can scroll forever.
