Love this app! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After cancer surgery in June 2021 it was important for me to improve my overall health. I had used Couch to 5K in the past but after surgery I knew I needed something that was less aggressive and safer for my still healing body. With the blessing of my health care provider to start running, I decided to try the N2R app. N2R has been perfect for me so far. The app is intuitive. Works seamlessly with my Apple Watch and has progressed me from running 30 seconds at a time to 20 min. at a time in 10 weeks. I still have a couple more weeks to go, but I am looking forward to “graduating” to the 5K program, also included in the app, soon. The strength training does an excellent job of rounding out the workouts and supporting a healthy start to the running journey and the focus on time running rather than speed or distance has made staying motivated and not discouraged much easier.

Realistic pacing and easy to use ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Love this program. Couch to 5k programs weren’t realistic for me and led me to give up on them. The pace of this program is great. The app is easy to use and love that it works with any of my music or podcast apps playing. Just got an Apple Watch and love that it works well on there too!

Love this app ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
When you get this app, you also get an incredible, supportive community as well. The app itself is solid, with a Apple Watch app that works seamlessly. It’s great for anyone who just wants to start running or for those where traditional couch to 5k programs were too difficult. Layout is clean and easy to understand. Love this app.

Great standalone Apple Watch app ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Straight forward and simple to use. I love their Apple Watch app which works on cellular so you don’t have to carry your phone. The Watch app allows you to select which week and day you want to start on and lets you customize volume and toggle voice cues. 1000% better than Zenfit’s C25K watch app, which doesn’t let you do any of this. I also love that the overall app is straightforward with no bells and whistles.

Works Around your Schedule
Time is hard to come by. Kids, work, and other commitments can get in the way. You need a plan that's easy to follow and can work around you, not the other way around.
Break down the lies you tell yourself
You look "weird" when you run. You’re “not” a runner. You’re too “slow” or too "Old." We're here to tell you right here, right now, that you’re wrong. You only *think* these things because it's new and you feel uncomfortable. That'll change with consistency and time. You are a runner!
Exercise Smarter, not harder
It may have been hard previously, but it doesn't have to be – now, you'll be given the tools and the knowledge to succeed. We’re doing things differently in order to see different results.
N2R Eases you in
Running when you aren't ready or without the proper training can hurt, leaving you with nagging injuries that never seem to clear up. We ease you in, giving you the strength and conditioning you need to make sure your running doesn't come with pain.
