Thanks for the C25K. This app helped to give me the confidence to get out and run. Coming up to the last week, I now absolutely love running and am looking forward to getting started on the 10k app!
Thank you!

I am so excited that you made it and that you “love” running. Keep up the good work. Have you decided which 10K you want to try?

I’ve never been a runner and always wanted to be. C25K has me out and at least has my heart pumping! Just finished week 2 day 3. I had prayed for motivation to exercise. I never thought Jesus would answer my prayers through an iPhone app! That’s just how good God is, isn’t it? Very cool.

Amen! It’s great you are out and running! Glad our app is helping your achieve your goal.

I take it, this is only good for iphone, ipod touch users?
I just have a nano, but this program looks like it’s just want I’ve been looking for.

Hi Sonya,
Thanks for writing. The app is currently only available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. However, you can google C25K podcasts and download them for free unto your Nano. Good luck and have fun!
