COUCH TO 5K
If you’re a beginner looking at running your first ever 5k then this app is for you. 3.1 miles will seem like a breeze as this nine-week training plan helps build up your running time gradually: and you only have to run 3 days a week! The app tracks your distance, pace and routes and can even share your progress to Facebook.
PROOF!
Are you a little bit competitive? Then you should definitely check out the PROOF! app. Compete with other users through your Facebook friends or contacts to help you, and them, achieve fitness goals. Back up your runs with solid ‘proof’ of completion with photos or videos. Once you see your name climbing up the leader boards you’ll be fired up for more runs. PROOF! lets you encourage others, or throw down a bit of smack talk for your running nemesis.
