Why It's the MOST POPULAR 5K Running App
---------------------------------------------------------------

IRONMAN LISTENS TO HIS OWN MUSIC"
"Not only did this app give me audio alerts telling me when I should run or walk, but I was able to listen to my own music from my iPod list instead of some other person's preference of motivational music."
Matthew Murphy
Completed first 5k by week 7 (in 0:27:37). Has since done Ironman!

GREAT-GREAT-GRANDDAUGHTER OF EMILY POST NOW RUNS
"I have NEVER been a distance runner hated running warm ups in high school, was always the last one done, huffing and puffing the whole way. While I had heard of interval programs, I had never tried one or thought I could do it... until I found your app. It has been the missing piece that allowed me to break my weight loss plateau."
Lizzy Post

FROM 365 POUNDS TO RUNNING THE 5K... IN 6 MONTHS
"In February of 2011, I weighed 365 pounds. I decided it was time to change. I began to look at programs to help beginning runners. I was convinced that this app from Bluefin Software was the best choice. On July 4th, I ran a 5K! If you're thinking about starting to run, I can tell you - without hesitation - that app from Bluefin is the best start."
Mark D Rucker
Completed 5K and 10k. Signed up for half-marathon on Oct 23, 2011!

Not happy (1 star)
I'm in the middle of the couch to 5k program and all of the sudden they've changed the name and the runs. Only problem is I don't want to do "ease into 5k". I bought the couch to 5k, And that's the program I want. I'm doing it along with some other people and all of our runs were the same. Now it's all messed up, and I had to purchase another app, with the accurate program.

Make Jim Talk Again...Please! (1 star)
I love this app! I'm not a runner and have become one...until the last update. Jim doesn't talk to me anymore! I have turned my phone on and off, updated my phone to the latest iOS, and followed the instructions on the developers website! Jim sometimes tells me when to start, occasionally let's me know when I am half way and never tells me when I am done. I have downloaded two alternative apps but love Jim! Please make this app work like it

This app justifies my iPhone. (5 stars)
Forget the few bucks this app costs -- this thing has paid for my monthly iphone bill as well as the initial purchase just in the health benefits. For srsly. I've run 2 5Ks and signed up for my 3rd this year since starting using this app in September, and 35lbs down. Its so very easy to follow; I've never felt tortured or ask more than I can do. I repeat sessions often if I feel I'm not ready for the next week. The "publish to Facebook&
