Get to the finish line with ease!
With spring just around the corner, we’re getting stoked for marathon season. If you’ve been hibernating the past few months, we’ve found five apps that will coach you, whip you into shape, and get you eating healthy. And if it’s your first time putting on your running shoes, no worries — there’s an app for that, too. Check out our faves!
1. Couch-to-5K ($1.99): Not a pro at running? No problem. This program was designed to get you off the couch and running in no time. It combines a mixture of walking and running short distances, and will have you running a 5k non-stop in just nine weeks.
2. MyFitnessPal (free): While training is key, it’s also important to make sure you’re keeping track of what you eat. This awesome app tracks calories and fitness, so it will have you in shape and feeling great for race day.
3. Fleetly (free): If competition is what drives you, this app is for you. You’ll earn points for each complete training session and have the ability to compete with other athletes too.
4. RunKeeper (free): Keeping a steady pace is super important for any marathon runner. This app can help with a bunch of aspects of your run, including tracking your pace and heart rate. Plus, it can synch information to your computer so you can map routes out and more.
5. Personal Running Trainer (free): Whether you’re a beginner runner or a seasoned marathon pro, this app is like having your very own personal trainer. Once you choose your distance, it will automatically schedule your workouts and your coach will let you know when to speed up, when to slow down, and when to rest.
Happy running!
