This year’s summer fun includes 5k color runs, obstacle courses, and fun events that involve more strength and endurance.

There are so many soon-to-be runners who didn’t even know they can become runners that will be able to benefit from this app. The uncomplicated app will take you from the couch to the track in only two months. Couch to 5k lets you move from day to day but, be sure not to skip around because you want to be able to thorough in endurance.

Each day is between 20-30 minutes, only about three times a week. Not bad right? No, it is the same amount as doctor’s recommendation for exercise per week.
