C25K (Couch to 5K) Interface
C25K (Couch to 5K) didn’t start out as an iPhone app, but the fact that it is available for iOS devices will definitely help you keep up with the requirements of the running program. Over the 9 weeks you are using C25K (Couch to 5K), you will run 3 days a week, each day between 30 and 40 minutes. The program will alternate walking and running periods.

The maps integrated within the C25K (Couch to 5K) app will help you set a route and alert you when you reach the halfway.
