Why Just5K Exists
I noticed most running apps are built for people who already run. Just5K is for everyone else.
I'm a product designer who never really ran. A few years ago I decided to try and immediately felt lost. Every app I downloaded assumed I already knew what I was doing. Heart rate zones, pace targets, VO2max. It was like opening a cockpit dashboard when I just wanted to go for a run.
So I started building Just5K. A running app for people like me. No jargon, no data overload. Just a simple walk-to-run plan, friendly encouragement, and the feeling that someone actually gets what it's like to start from zero.
If you've ever thought "I should start running but I don't know how," this is for you.
