Couch 2 5K

[GloGirl]

Anyone have an app recommendation? My FIL is interested and I just checked and there are loads in the app store.

[CaraAspen]

Couch?

[19lottie82]

I think the NHS one is the best

[19lottie82]

But tbh I can't see there being much difference between them..... the basis is the same

I assumed this thread was going to be about an expensive sofa, but apparently I'm wrong. Still have no idea what it is about though.

[Happyelves]

I tried this once. Only useful suggestion I have is not to be too afraid to leave your front door that you walk and jog up and down your hallway

[Pinkstars2501]

I use the NHS Choices app.

[ChequeredPasta]

The NHS one is brill

[Viviene]

NHS one is the best.

[UpWithPup]

I use c25k. I like it

[scottishdiem]

Oh. From sitting on the couch to running 5km. Or "From Couch to 5km" as the thread should have opened with.

[Mybrainishurtingme]

Yep NHS one, I completed it a while back years ago but just restarted, and I like Laura's encouragement! (The 'narrator' on the NHS one)

Not tried any others to compare but if it can get me running last time I ran was at school then it must be good

Also it's free, so an added bonus

The app is called Couch to 5k I'm bored of the thread title police.

OP I started with Couch to 5k and then had enough confidence to join a running group so definitely give it a go.

[DrFoxtrot]

Or FIL give it a go

[scottishdiem]

You may be bored of thread title police but a little more relevance might make it clearer. Or was this some kind of insider code that I should not have had to google to discover what OP was talking about?

I rally like the NHS app. It has encouraging messages at all the right times.

[VeryBitchyRestingFace]

I was about to ask for photos of this £5k couch.

Another vote for the NHS one. Laura is very motivating (even if the music is a bit rubbish),

[GoesDownLikeACupOfColdSick]

I used the first one that comes up on google. It took me from being a fat slob to being able to run for an hour at a time.

Then I stopped and now I am a fat slob again. So stopping is the only thing I do not recommend. Go for it :)

[RhubarbGin]

I much prefer the c25k app over the Nhs one!

[RhubarbGin]

c25k by Zenlabs, that is.

[Waffles80]

scottish are your reading skills so weak that you can't quickly infer that "couch 2 5k" might refer to "from couch 2 5k"

[BitOutOfPractice]

Scottish I regularly have to google stuff (especially acronyms) on here. Not exactly a hardship is it? And just think, you've learned something new in the process.

So yeah, no need snotty title policing

[GloGirl]

I'd also like to see a £5k couch

Thanks for all your advice I'll pass it on.
