Get running with ‘Couch to 5K’
(Arabnews)
FOR those who think it’s hard to consistently go to gym, it’s time to downloaded the “Couch to 5K” app, which is free (there’s a premium version, which probably doesn’t have as many annoying pop-ups).
The goal is simple: The $2.99 app wants to help you run your very first 5K. It doesn’t expect you do to it tomorrow or even next week.
Instead, it builds a nine-week program of three-times-a-week 30-minute workouts to slowly build up to making the run. It’ll even help you find 5K events in your area. The app tells users an easy way to running by combining walking for a period of time with running and then walking again, and there’s a computerized “lady” there to tell you via your headphones what to do next. As things progress, there’s more running than walking until there isn’t any walking at all.
The Zen Labs tech behind it is solid enough and you can jam to your tunes in between the “lady” tells you what’s what. It boggles the mind to think that users couldn’t just do themselves.
