RunDouble - Couch to 5K

RUNDOUBLE IS BACK — AND NOW IT'S FREE! For years, RunDouble has been the favourite Couch to 5K running coach for beginners taking their very first steps into running. It's had a fresh coat of paint, some bugs squashed, and — best of all — it's now completely free for everyone. If you've never run further than the bus stop, RunDouble is built for exactly that moment. No experience, no fancy gear, no pressure. Just a plan, a voice in your ear, and a couch-to-5K journey that actually works. WHY BEGINNERS LOVE RUNDOUBLE 🏃 THE ORIGINAL COUCH-TO-5K PLAN The classic 9-week Couch-to-5K programme, run just 3 times a week, that's introduced a generation of first-time runners to running their first 5K. Prefer a different distance or already graduated from C25K? Five-to-10K and other beginner-friendly plans are built in too. Choose the specific workout you want to do — repeat a session, jump ahead, or start a whole new week, whenever you like. 🔊 A COACH IN YOUR EAR No need to keep checking your phone. RunDouble tells you when to run, when to walk, and when you're about to switch — so you can relax, get outside, and just move. Announcements duck your music automatically, so your coach is always clear over the top of your playlist. 🎧 KEEP YOUR OWN MUSIC OR PODCAST PLAYING RunDouble runs quietly alongside whatever you're already listening to — your music, your podcast, your audiobook. It never takes over your player; it just chimes in with the right cue at the right time. 📍 GPS RUN TRACKING, RECORDED — NOT DISTRACTING Your route, pace and distance are tracked in the background using GPS, so every run is saved automatically. To keep you focused on your training instead of a screen, there's no live map while you're running — your route map only appears afterwards, as a record of what you just did. ❤️ HEART RATE SUPPORT Pair a Bluetooth or ANT+ heart rate monitor to see your effort in real time and train in the right zone, not just at the right pace. Already wearing a Wear OS watch? Its own sensor can do the job instead — no chest strap needed. ⌚ ON YOUR WRIST RunDouble mirrors your run to a Wear OS watch: which interval you're on, how long is left, your distance and your heart rate — all at a glance. Pause or skip straight from your wrist. Add the RunDouble Tile to your watch for a swipe-to-glance view of your run status without opening the app at all. The watch app installs itself alongside the phone app and opens automatically when your run starts. Your phone is still doing the tracking, so keep it with you — the watch is there so you don't have to keep pulling it out. 📈 A HISTORY YOU CAN BE PROUD OF Every completed workout is saved with your real distance and time for each interval, so you can look back on how far you've come. RunDouble also automatically tracks your personal bests, so your milestones don't go unnoticed. 🔥 CALORIE TRACKING Keep an eye on the calories burned during every walk/run session. 🔗 SHARE YOUR PROGRESS Connect to Strava to share your runs with the running community. WHO IT'S FOR RunDouble is built first for people who don't think of themselves as "runners" yet — the couch-to-5K beginner, the returning-after-a-break runner, anyone who wants structure and encouragement instead of just a stopwatch. If that's you, welcome back — or welcome for the first time. It's free now, so there's nothing stopping you from starting today. Lace up, press start, and let RunDouble talk you through it.
