# C25K
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.

## Features
- Show remaining time in seconds for each phase
- Vibrates on phase changes
- Keeps screen on to allow quickly glancing at the time while running
- Shows time on button press
## 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`.

## 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.
