FirstRun makes it easy to start running by training beginners to achieve their fitness and marathon training goals. By running thrice a week, anyone can train to become a healthy and injury free runner with India’s first couch to 5K (C25K) and couch to 10K motivation and running training app.

First Run currently offers a C25K and a couch to 10K running program, with plans for a half marathon training program in the future. The 5K program is our tribute to Josh Clark’s extraordinary Couch to 5K (C25K) program, that has been used by thousands of runners to start their running journey towards fitness. Or you can select the 12-week Couch to 10K program and train to meet the 65 minute endurance time. You can even run indoors in a gym, and running on a treadmill is made easier by our special treadmill mode, so you can set the running pace for each run during your gym workout.

First Run can be the personal trainer for beginners, and could be your first step towards running a marathon. Running is the perfect sport or activity for those keen about getting fit, weight loss tips and boosting daily energy levels and productivity. We have the right ingredients for all kinds of runners – from beginners to marathon runners, or those thinking of starting a new sport or hobby.

Here are the top features of the app:
✔ Personal Running Coach — Marathon enthusiast Gul Panag, a running enthusiast from India, who has run more than a dozen half-marathons, is our in-app running coach, motivating you to keep running and showing you the essential running basics and exercises. The audio voice of Gul Panag guides you through your daily run and walk.

✔ Focus on Time —The C25K and the couch to 10K (C210K) programs do not focus on speed or distance, but encourages you to run for a set time each day. With a combination of walking and running, or even a jog, exercising becomes easier for users at any level of fitness. It’s the best way to prepare for a half marathon or a marathon.

✔ Flexible Training — Experienced runners can start the program mid-way and aim to run for a longer distance in the set time. We know that sometimes you just don’t have the energy to complete a run, so take a break by hitting pause anytime and resume the session at a later time. For beginners, you can start running by even jogging lightly.

✔ Unique Treadmill Mode — First Run can be used in any weather conditions thanks to the unique treadmill mode that gives runners the right treadmill speed guidelines at the right time. So don’t stop training when it’s raining.

✔ Better with Music — Runners love music on their daily run, so there’s an in-app music player to keep them company every time they step out--all without leaving the app. You can select songs from your device and play the music you love.

✔ Your Running Diary — Track your daily running distance (in miles as well as kilometres), speed and analyze your progress and running status easily, in real time. With GPS tracking, you can set personal goals for each week and see how much distance you have covered without checking google maps. Share your daily progress and current status with your friends on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Whatsapp and other social networks. In the future releases we will also allow you to check the calories you have burnt.

✔ Your Path to Fitness — Running is known to be a great way for weight loss, and it is proven to help reduce appetite after long runs, and will help with your diet plan. Mix it up with your other exercises for a bit of variety in your daily workout schedule. In just a few weeks you will be running regularly, burning fat and calories, losing weight, boosting your glycogen stores, while also improving your overall stamina and cardiovascular health by reducing your rest heart rate.

You won’t even realize how quickly running can become a part of your daily calendar, as you get leaner, faster, stronger, and become a better runner thanks to First Run, your personal running trainer.
