Your first two weeks
If you're new to running, start with a run/walk plan, the app's Couch-to-5K and interval programs tell you exactly when to run and when to walk through your headphones, so you never have to watch the clock. Three runs a week is plenty. Each one tracks your pace and distance by GPS and drops a new pet in your collection when you finish.
Already a runner?
Use the free-run mode to log every mile by GPS, follow tempo and interval sessions, and keep an eye on pace and calories over time. The streak and pet rewards are just a fun nudge to keep your weekly mileage consistent, the part that actually builds fitness.
