Here are a couple of screenshots showing Facebook integration inside C25K iPhone app.

Right after you complete a workout you will see this popup asking you of you wish to publish your accomplishment to your Facebook news feed. If you tap yes, the story will immediately show up on your Facebook profile.

Publish to Facebook

Of course, Facebook integration is optional. If you don’t use Facebook you can turn integration off in the app settings. Just tap the Settings app on your home screen, scroll down to C25K entry and tap it. You will see the following page where you can turn off Facebook integration:

Turn Facebook On or Off

Let me know how if you like this feature and are planning on using it.

Happy Running!

I haven’t posted for a while, so I thought it’s about time to get back on track.

The sad thing is that I’ve fallen of the wagon on my C25K workout. I got stuck on week 6. For two weeks I’d only manage to workout twice a week, so I kept repeating week 6 in hope that I’d be able to complete the three workouts in a weeks time. Well, that didn’t happen and last week and this week I didn’t do any workouts.

I wanted to restart this week but it just so happened that I got down with a really nasty cold. Hopefully I’ll feel better by Sunday and get back on track with my C25K workout. I’m planning to restart with Week 5 and see how that goes.

I haven’t been slacking on the C25K app front (I admit I’ll still rather code than run.) I have a new update ready that I will probably submit to the App Store this weekend. This update will introduce a very exciting feature: integration with Facebook!

How many of you want to tell everybody that you just completed a workout I know I do. I work so hard during those thirty minutes and I want everybody to know about it. Well with the next version of C25K app you will be able to post a story on your Facebook news feed right from the C25K app. Let everybody know what you’ve accomplished and maybe some of your friends will start running as well.

I’m really excited about Facebook integration and all that it will enable. In the future versions you will be able to see which of your friends are doing the C25K, nudge them if they are falling behind (I desperately need that feature!) and build a community within the C25K app.

I’ll be posting screen shots of the upcomming version later this weekend. There are a couple of small improvements as well.

Happy running!
