App Recommendation: Couch25k

There are a lot of different Couch to 5k training apps. The one I like is by Zen Labs and it's free. Why do I like it? Just like Lift (which you can read my review on here) it's easy to use. It even has the warmup and cool down built right in.

You scroll from side to side to select what week and day you're on, then just press start. A woman's voice says "Begin warm up." When the warm up is over she once again speaks up, "Begin running." What I especially like is that it runs in the background and you can listen to a playlist or Pandora. It automatically turns down the volume of your music, givea you instructions, then turns the volume back up.

My favorite featurw though, as silly as it sounds, is that it tells you when you reach the half way point. As someone who runs down the road, its nice to not have to check the time to figure out when to turn around.

Want to check out the app for yourself? Here is the link to the official webpage and it can be found through the PlayStore.
