If you have iOS 5 and no longer hear your audio cues when your screen is locked, there’s an easy fix for this.  

iOS 5 is treating things a little differently in terms of notifications, which include audio cues in our Run apps. To get your audio cues working again, you need to make sure Run 5k (or 10k) is listed in the Notifications Center on your phone. Go into your Settings app on your device and go to Notifications. Scroll down and tap on the app. Then, turn on Notification Center, choose an alert style, and turn everything else on (Sound, Badge App Icon, Lock Screen). Your audio cues should work just as they did before.  Now back to running!

Our Run 5k is now available for iOS. It has an all new, original 8-week workout program that is different from the old Couch to 5k app. I’m releasing it as an update to the old app, so it’s a free update from the App Store. I had to change the name and remove the old workouts due to copyright and trademark issues. We will continue to support and update our existing apps as usual.

We’re relaunching our Couch to 10k app as Run 10k, and it’s available in the App Store today! It has the same 13-week interval training program where you alternate between running and walking, and all of the features of the old app. We’ve changed the name to avoid any trademark confusion with the Couch-to-5k program. It’s a free update for people who have already bought Couch to 10k.
