|
|
|
|
|
Unofficial app for the Couch to 5k training plan.
|
|
|
|
|
From being a couch-potato to running 5k in 8 weeks!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each week has 3 training days, ideally with rest days between them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each day's programme consists of running for a certain time with occasional walking/resting phases.
|
|
|
|
|
When walking is part of the programme, the (run+walk) stages are repeated a number of times.

|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you know the week and day of the programme you'd like to start, set `Week` and `Day` to the appropriate values in the main menu and press `Start`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Example**:
|
|
|
|
|
To start the programme of the **second day** of **week 4**:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can go to the `View plan` menu to look at all the programmes and select the one you'd like to start.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Example**:
|
|
|
|
|
Go to the `View plan` menu:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Select the programme to start it:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The format of the `View menu` is `w{week}d{day}(r:{run mins}|w:{walk mins}|x{number of reps})`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example `w6d1(r:6|w:3|x2)` means:
|
|
|
|
|
`it's the programme of day 1 on week 6`,
|
|
|
|
|
`it consists of running for 6 minutes`,
|
|
|
|
|
`followed by walking for 3`,
|
|
|
|
|
`done 2 times back to back`.

### Create a custom excercise
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Under the `Custom run` menu, it's possible to create a custom excercise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some important details/limitations:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- To disable walking: set `walk` to `0`
|
|
|
|
|
- When walking is set to `0`, the repetition count is set to `1`.
|
|
|
|
|
- When repetition is set to `2` or higher, `walk` is set to `1`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Unfortunately, the value in the menu do not update to reflect the changes, so I recommend setting the values with the rules above in mind.**

## Disclaimer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This app was hacked together in a day with no JS knowledge.
|
|
|
|
|
It's probably inefficient and buggy, but it does what I needed it to do: allow me to follow the C25K programme without a phone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The app was designed with a Bangle.js 1 in mind, as that's the one I have.
|
|
|
|
|
It *should* work fine on the Bangle.js 2, but I couldn't test it on real hardware.
