Distance, Calories, Running GPS

Distance / Calories are not showing
  • Check that you approved location tracking: Device Settings -> 5K Runner -> Locations -> When using the app.
  • For calorie tracking, the app needs your weight, age, etc. In the app menu, enter the settings screen -> profile and fill the requested info.

GPS still isn't tracking 
  • If your previous runs were fine, then it could be an issue with the GPS signal.
  • Please be sure that Google Play service is allowed to use location.
  • Also, please check with another GPS tracking app, and compare the results (to see if there is an issue with the GPS on your device)
Running on a Treadmill
The app can be used on a treadmill to guide you (many of our customers do exactly that). Your distance / calories will not be calculated - it relies on the GPS signal to track actual distance in order to do that. To use the treadmill - just run as normal, and stick with the program and you will get to your distance goal.

The distance includes the warmup, the cool down, and the walking intervals. But don’t worry, by the end of the program, you will be able to run a full 5K :)
