Hello, I love this idea and would like to have a promo code to try this app out! Thank you
This is perfect timing. Would love a code if you have any left. Just now looking to start training (from scratch) to run a 5K!
Thanks to the generosity of @bencallis, I've had the app for about a week and tried it twice in that time. It's very easy to use, there's no difficulty navigating around it to find what does what. I do wish it would still provide sound notifications when you're listening to a podcast on your phone, but that's on my end, not his. Thanks so much, I hope I make it through all nine weeks!
Watch to 5K version 5.0 is now available with the following new features and enhancements:
Open Run Feature
Everyone runs at a unique pace. While the program aims for continuous running for 30 minutes, not everyone can achieve a 5K within this time and may miss out on achievements like the 5K distance milestone. Open Run lets you run at your preferred pace without time or distance constraints. Whether it's 3K, 5K, 40 minutes, or more, the choice is yours!
KM Splits
As you advance in the plan and transition to continuous running without walk breaks, the Watch to 5K iPhone companion app will display Splits. This feature helps you track your progress and analyse performance more effectively.
Kilometre Splits will show for all Open Runs.
Audio Improvements
Watch to 5K seamlessly integrates with your favourite music player or podcast app. The app will now temporarily pause spoken audio from podcasts or audiobooks while providing prompts, instead of simply lowering the audio as before. Music apps will still be lowered, not paused.
During Open runs, the virtual coach updates you on your progress at each kilometre, keeping you informed on your total run time, distance, and average pace.
You can also double-tap the screen to hear your current progress.
Additional Changes
• Satellite share images are now higher quality.
• Route lines have been refined to reduce sharp corners in specific instances.
• Improved accuracy of stats in the segment breakdown within the iPhone companion app, addressing minor inaccuracies caused by pauses during runs.
• Average heart rate is now included in the Run Details section of the iPhone app.

It worked great! Very convenient, with the watch all the data is there for me instead of me having to guess or having only a little. It’s a nice sense of accomplishment when the app points out a new milestone, those were a good feature and keep me motivated to keep trying. I like going back and comparing early runs to the last few ones, and I’ve recommended the app to multiple other people now.
