Testimonials from Get Running users:
- "Just completed week 9 run 3, and all I can say is that this app has changed my life. Excellent job."
- "I absolutely LOVE this app. I've tried several others, but yours is by far the best for me. I'm turning 60 this year and I'm a cancer survivor. My goal is to run 5K races. Your program serves as my personal trainer, and it's AMAZING. Thank you!" - Vickie Wheeler via email.
- "I tried the best-selling 'Couch to 5k' App before purchasing this one, and I must say, this one is much more user-friendly. The voice reminders are incredibly helpful, and I appreciate how it pauses my music instead of talking over it. I highly recommend this app over the others."
- "Thank you so much for this little gem of an app. I've checked out similar ones, but yours is definitely the winner. It's brilliantly simple with a fantastic interface."
- "Thank you! This app has truly changed my life. I used to be unfit and didn't engage in regular exercise. I always attributed my inability to run for longer than a minute to my asthma, but now I realize it was simply because I was out of shape! I've even signed up for a 5k race! - @amyriddett on Twitter"
- "An exceptional app. I'm actually excited to go running. I listen to podcasts, and this app does an outstanding job of pausing the show for its announcements, ensuring I don't miss anything that was said. Outstanding!"
