Try the app now
Try this app right now on your computer. You control the app with your mouse and keyboard to experience it like you would on your phone. Test drive this app before you buy.
How does this work?
Clicking the “Test drive now” button launches a copy of this app on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a web service that provides on-demand compute capacity in the cloud for developers. When you interact with the simulated phone using your mouse and keyboard, we send those inputs over the Internet to the app running on Amazon EC2 — just like your mobile device would send a finger tap to the app. Our servers then send the video and audio output from the app back to your computer. All this happens in real time, allowing you to explore the features of the app as if it were running on your mobile device.
Test Drive TroubleshootingFollow the steps below to Test Drive this app in Chrome. These steps will disable the version of Flash included with Chrome and run Test Drive in a separate version of Flash.

From couch to 25k
From Slouch to Runner
C25K is short for Couch to five kilometers. C25K Pro for your smartphone is designed to get just about anyone from being a couch potato to running either five kilometers or 30 minutes in just nine weeks.
Too many people have been deterred from running simply because they try starting off too fast and too far. Their bodies rebel, and they wind up miserable, wondering why anyone would possibly want to do this to themselves. You should ease into your running program gradually, with the help of C25K Pro on your Android device.
The Program
Couch to five kilometers is less of a running regimen than a walking and jogging program. The C25K running plan from Cool Running is a great way to get someone who's never run before to being a three-mile runner in nine weeks. It alternates running and walking, slowly getting the body accustomed to distance running. It times your workout, letting you know through audio clips when it's time to switch your pace while listening to the music of your choice or podcasts you've downloaded onto your smartphone. For example, switch pace from walking to running, or from running to cooling down. Additionally, if you like C25K, there's a follow up plan that will get you to 10K.
Features
This Pro version has background mode, music controller, voice cues, custom sounds and notifications, and Facebook integration.
In C25K Pro's settings, you can customize your program regimen:
- Volume boost allows you to set the correct volume for program notifications while other music of your choice is playing.
- Screen lock allows you to choose whether or not to lock your screen during a session so no other processes can be accidentally launched while you're running.
- Vibrate on Notification alerts you physically of a change in your running session.
- Customize your Facebook messages and choose whether you want to be prompted to update your Facebook page.
- You can choose your own notification sounds on top of the built-in voice and bell ones. You can actually use any ringtone for any notification.
- You can choose additional notifications for one-minute left, halfway, or custom markers. You can also choose whether you want the notifications spoken by a male or female voice, or bell alerts.
- You can control the music right from within the app. No need to switch apps if you want to pause, forward, or go back on your playlist.
- Notification for "turning around" when you're in the middle of the workout, in case you want to run and then come back.

I purchased this app last year because I wanted to start running. It's a 9-week program that gets you running up to 30 minutes safely and gradually, to avoid injury.
Since I completed the program last October, I've run 3 5ks, a 10k, and a half marathon. If you want to start running, I highly recommend it.

I just started doing the C25K, but I love this app. It's simple to use and has music integration, which is awesome. You may have to play with some settings to get it working exactly how you want to, but it does everything it says and I didn't expect anything more or anything less. It was worth the $1.99 if you ask me. Definitely try the app out using the Amazon "try it" thing if you're skeptical. The only thing I wish it had was GPS integration so that I didn't have to run another app to see my distance, speed and a map.

Just downloaded as Fee App of the day, so haven't run with it, but I am disappointed that it does not allow me to select my music player and forces me to use the default Verizon player. Will update review after some use, but this is a huge negative for me.
