Product description

From the same makers of the #1 C25K app, Marathon Trainer follows the same successful recipe to create an easy simple program, best suited for first-time marathoners and those who are new to running.

This proven 20 week plan will allow users to slowly build strength and stamina by alternating between walking and running. The blend of walking and running together reduces the overall impact and risk of injury, makes training more fun, keeps your body guessing, and prepares you to go the distance. By the end of the program, you will be fitter, stronger and READY for your marathon race!

Listen to your favorite music while you train and follow the program’s convenient audio alerts. Along with voice/audio alerts and music controls on your headset, just press “start”, put your device in your pocket, and you are ready to go. Alerts will tell you when to warm-up, walk, run, cooldown, and when minute is left to give it your all.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2013
    I had previously used C25K and C210K and they are both great programs which take you through a walk run program to eventually continous running. I was highly disappointed to get this program and find it to be 100% walk/ run. I could walk run a marathon without this silly program. I was looking for a program that would build my running to RUN a marathon. If you are looking to have a program to follow to get you out exercising then you might like this but if your goal is to RUN a marathon don't waste your money, there are better apps and running programs available.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great App
    Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2015
    I really like this training app! It is quite easy to use. The app does a great job of letting you see where you are at during your workout. On the left side of the screen it tracks the time you have exercised for, on the right side it tracks the amount of time you have left, and in the middle it tracks how much time you have left in the interval and which interval you are on (ie. 2 of 7). All three are very easy to see during your workout. The app has cross training days and rest days scheduled. It also is very easy to hear workout, I.e. start running. Lastly, it works great while Pandora is running or another music source.

    There are only three little things that would be great. One to be able to enter your marathon date & keep track of how many days to the event. (What I did was just subtract the 20 weeks of the program from when my marathon starts.) The other thing that would be handy is to be able to enter a date the workout was completed if you did it without the app on. (For example I had already been using a different program when I started this app, so the first couple of days were duplicates, it would have been great to just enter the dates I completed then instead of duplicating them or letting it run while doing something else. Lastly (and this is a total fluff item), badges would be fun & encouraging. This is especially true in the beginning when you are out of practice.

    I do love the quotes and tips. I would definitely recommend this app.

    This program took me, a non-runner, to my first marathon this year at age 40. It worked for me. I hope it works for you. Don't be discouraged if you miss a day - just keep at it. Good luck.

    This app keeps shutting down after is initial logo screen. I emailed the developer but was told "try uninstalling and reinstalling." Like I haven't already tried that multiple times.
