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.

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?

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.

This kind of comment sounds helpful at first; but, the people who are going to get the most out of the couch->5k system are more likely to be put off of all exercise all together if they're confused by saying "this is better instead, do this".
