Getting everyone to run. That was the premise of the Start 2 Run app launched in September 2013 with Evy Gruyaert as coach and voice of the app. Meanwhile the app has guided a whopping 2.3 million individuals worldwide towards their first 5 kilometers.
Annually, 1.3 million workouts are completed with the app. Every month, 17,500 new Start 2 Runners join in. This success led to the emergence of a vibrant Start 2 Run Facebook community, established by enthusiastic fans and users. Within this community, thousands of app users come together daily to encourage one another and exchange their running experiences.
"I used to absolutely dislike running, I enjoy many sports but running, ABSOLUTELY not. Earlier this year, I started using the Start 2 Run app, and I have to say: I'm addicted! Normally, I run 5 kilometers three times a week, and at the end of a session, I'm not tired at all. This is because of the good structure and variety of the workouts. I couldn't imagine my life without running anymore; it gives me mental peace and a boost of energy!"
