4 of the best running apps to keep you fit
We’re probably one of many, but since the pandemic hit the UK, we decided to take up running. We stopped using our gym before they were shut and we weren’t sure what to do for exercise.
And for some very bizarre reason we opted for running. It’s bizarre because we have hated and avoided running for 34 years. We were the girls who had to run around Hampden park pond for P.E lessons and we were the girls who disappeared for that hour. Turns out it’s actually not that bad and here are 4 apps to help you on your running way
Couch to 5k
This is such a good app for beginners like us. You start off super easy. We’re currently at the end of week 2 – which has us walk for 5 mins, run for 90sec, walk for 2 mins repeat the run and walk 5 times, then end with another 5 minute walk. It’s getting easier and we’re looking forward to week 3.
