to Run

This programming is so much better than Couch-to-5K. The increase in distance is much, much more gradual. It was easier to be consistent. Cheers to PRs in the new year! 💪

This app is worth it for the customer service alone. But it is also a great app! Day one was accessible to me as a complete beginner. It was still a challenge for someone completely out of shape, but doable. I have tried other apps that were too hard, especially when running outdoors. I like that this app has the option for treadmill or outdoor running. I also love being able to listen to my own music while still being able to hear the prompts. My husband and I are going through the program together and are loving it so far. If you have any questions or issues, customer service is the absolute best! I highly recommend this app!

I was a new runner and recently finished the N2R program. I really like how the program is set up. It focuses more on time than on distance, which is great for getting you used to being on your feet! The strength exercises really do help and should not be skipped. I could tell a difference in my runs once I started consistently doing the strength exercises. The customer service is also top notch. I started program before I got my Apple Watch, and I was having trouble getting my routes to show up. I emailed support, and by the next afternoon after several emails, Jeff had me back up and “running!” (It was my user error, but he very patiently and kindly walked me through the steps to take to fix it!). You will not be disappointed!!!! Go for it!!!

After battling an injury, I was looking for a way to get back to running. None to Run is a smart, safe way to build strength and endurance over the 12-week program. The initial focus on running for time instead of distance gave me the permission I needed to start slow, focus on each workout, and build up to running for a full 25 minutes—something I hadn’t done in a long time. The compatibility with my Apple Watch is great. It kept me on track and motivated while listening to my favorite playlists. I recommend this to anyone who is new to running, looking to get back to running, or a seasoned runner who appreciates the functionality of audio prompts during your workout.

The None 2 Run app is amazing! I used another popular program 10 years ago that worked me up to running a 5K but afterwards when I continued to make running a part of regular exercise I was plagued with injuries. So I came to the conclusion I was not a runner. So this past year I came across the N2R program and decided to give it a try. It’s great because it is designed to get you running at a pace that is comfortable for you. When used with your phone and/ or your watch it gives you prompts of when to walk and when to run and also an encouraging phrase at the end. The end goal is to be able to run for 25 minutes straight regardless of distance. You can do this at your own pace and even repeat weeks if you need to. There is also a social media group with people going through the same program as you for support and encouragement. I am now slowly working through the N2R 5K program.

I’m a brand new runner, 17 yo, and have always wanted to be able to run but in the past I’ve done too much too fast and got injured. This program is great for beginning runners because it helps you pace yourself, and the podcasts are super helpful and actually worth your time!! With the podcasts, I’ve learned to be patient with myself and not give myself too high expectations, I’ve learned what type of pain is normal/okay and what pain to watch out for. Also, the first runs are so fun that I felt amazing afterwards. This has helped me a lot during quarantine because running is boosting my mood and my mental health, and the program works so well that I haven’t gotten injured and stuck inside! Thank you for sharing this program!!
