Better link to actual program:

Disagree. The original link is to the NHS app which contains way more information on what the programme is as well as the training programme.

The page has a link to the NHS couch to 5k app which is available for iPhone and Android. I used it and found it really helpful to have even a recorded voice pushing you on during the run. I went from no exercise at all to running 5k every other day.

> The app is currently not available in your country or region.

I attempted to download the app from the App Store using the link in the article and I was unsuccessful. Is it available only in the UK?

I've downloaded it in France a few months ago.

Same. It looks like it is geo-restricted.

Is a small-pain, but you can swap your iCloud/App Store region via the App Store in-app settings (no VPN needed)

Thanks sammyteee

App was too hard, didn’t download.

Literally the people this is for are too overweight/overworked/overwhelmed to do enough physical activity to jog a couple of miles. We need all the help we can get!
