Review: The Official Marathon Trainer App by C25K®

The Official Marathon Trainer App by C25K® is the perfect companion for first-time marathoners and beginners looking to get into running. Developed by the same team behind the highly acclaimed C25K® Trainer app, this app follows a proven 20-week program that combines running and power walking to help you complete a full 26.2 (42k) marathon.

One of the standout features of this app is its integration with popular smartwatches like FITBIT and SAMSUNG, making it the official partner and the only C25K® app featured on these devices. It has also been widely recognized by top publications such as The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Forbes, among others.

What sets this app apart is its emphasis on run-walk intervals, which have been found to reduce fatigue, minimize the risk of injury, and even improve race times. Many experienced runners have achieved personal bests by adopting this method. The app provides a 20-week plan that gradually builds your stamina and endurance.

The app's user interface is straightforward and easy to navigate. Simply press start, and an audio coach will guide you through your run, while also providing helpful alerts along the way. You can track your progress and map your runs within the app as well.

In addition to its main features, the app offers a free trial for the first week, allowing users to experience its benefits before committing. It also integrates with popular social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, allowing you to join a supportive community of fellow runners.

The app even offers a new Zen Unlimited Pass that grants access to an extensive library of curated music from top DJs. Scientifically proven to increase motivation by 35%, this pass provides unlimited access to all pro features across all Zen Labs Fitness running apps, including C25K®, 10K, 13.1, and 26.2 programs - essentially giving you four apps for the price of one!

Connect with the app's dedicated social media channels, where you can find more success stories and engage with other users. Zen Labs is also proud to support the National Breast Cancer Coalition, further showing their commitment to social causes.

Subscription pricing and terms are clearly outlined in the app, and it's important to note that the app itself and any information provided by Zen Labs LLC are for educational purposes only. It is essential to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any fitness program.
