Full description
Can’t even run for a minute? Out of breath? Z5K is for you. Z5K is a free app that gets people who have never run before to finish a 5K in just 8 weeks. No gym, no subscription, no experience required—just you, your shoes, and the coach in your pocket. HOW IT WORKS Your endurance builds step-by-step with the proven walk-run interval method. Train for 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week. Your audio coach tells you exactly when to run and when to walk—no guessing, no need to look at your phone. Week 1 starts easy: short jogs between walks. By week 8, you're running 5K non-stop. The program adapts to 4 levels based on your fitness, and you choose your goal: First 5K or Fat Burn mode. FEATURES THAT KEEP YOU MOVING REAL-TIME AUDIO COACHING Your coach is with you every workout in English, Turkish, or German. No jargon—just clear "run" and "walk" cues. GPS ROUTE TRACKING Watch your route come to life on the map. Track distance, pace, and elevation in real-time. INDOOR & OUTDOOR MODE Raining outside? Switch to Indoor Mode for the treadmill. The same structured program works on the road or at the gym. PERSONALIZED FOR YOU Pick your goal, set your fitness level, and schedule your workout days. Z5K creates a plan that fits your life. ACHIEVEMENTS & PERSONAL BESTS Earn badges as you hit milestones. Track your PRs and watch your progress week by week. STATISTICS DASHBOARD Weekly, monthly, and all-time stats at a glance. Streak tracking and progress charts show how far you’ve come since Day 1. WEATHER & OUTFIT SUGGESTIONS Check the weather before you head out. Get clothing tips based on temperature, wind, and rain—be dressed right for every run. POST-RUN EXPERIENCE Finished your workout? Awesome! Log your mood, take a selfie, and share a sleek workout card with friends. Every run deserves a celebration. A surprise awaits you at the end of the program!

What's new

Spanish is here — full interface and voice coaching in Spanish, with a native Spanish coach voice. New: pick your language in the app. Settings › Language. It overrides your device language and sticks. Fixed: on First 10K and Fast 5K the run step ended after 60 seconds and jumped to the cool-down. Runs now finish by distance. Fixed: long runs no longer auto-pause mid-run. Fixed: crash in Edit Profile after moving to a 10K program. Google sign-in works again on Android.
