Hi Judy,

Thanks for writing and congrats on losing the 35 pounds. I hope our apps can help you the rest of the way and thanks for your interest in getting started with Bluefin. I’ll go ahead and break down each device for you. On the iPod Touch you can get the whole program with audio alerts and music, but you will not be able to download the additional GPS because the iPod Touch does not have the capability to gather GPS data with the current antenna. On the iPhone you will get all the same features as the iPod Touch only with the ability to purchase GPS. You can use the apps on the iPad but they are not iPad HD yet (meaning they won’t fill up your whole screen unless you press the 2x button and then the images get slightly blurry). It is still functional on the iPad. If you don’t purchase the GPS you can still input your running distance, time, and run/walk paces manually so that you can still track your data on the graphs. I hope this was helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions I would be happy to help.

Ok…I am in Weight Watchers and doing well. However, I am at a point of where I, in the past have started gaining everything back, plus more. I am down 35 pounds and have another 100 to go…there about. I NEVER thot I would enjoy running, but a year ago i attemped interval training and LOVED IT. But, got out of the habit during the winter.
I am looking for something to help motivate me and this seems like it may be the answer. I do not want to gain and so do want to feel healthy and fit as I did when I began the interval’s. I want that feeling back and get past the 200pound mark for the first time in YEARS!.
I am wondering, first I need to get and Iphone or Ipad or itouch or something? which would be a good choice. All these apps I am hearing about seem to be things that would help me. the Weight Watchers Tools apps, this C25 and others. GPS running routes. I would appreciate any advice as to what i should invest in for these apps to work best for me.
Thank you!

Doh, I am such a dullard – I had no idea this blog was THE Alex & Tanya of the App fame! I’m still loving your App, and thanks to your emailed advice a few weeks ago, it’s working perfectly with FaceBook again!

Am really looking forward to the time when I can start 10k!

Tanya,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write us. We couldn’t be happier in being a part of your desire to get healthier. Running is a challenge yet fun at the same time. It is hard to explain that to people who aren’t runners but once you get into it you know the feeling. Keep up the good work. Signing up for races and getting your friends involved are a good way to stay motivated and sticking with it.
Good luck!

I wanted to say “Thank you” and tell you that your app changed my life. I was NEVER a runner and always said I “CAN’T” Run. Last year, I was forced to go on cholesterol medicine since my weight and health were out of control so I decided that this is finally it and made a change. I downloaded your app in early October and ran my first 5K on Thanksgiving Day 2010. I have since run a 5K and 4 mile race and signed up for a 8k race next weekend. I have also inspired friends and sent them the app info and they are loving it too! I love the ease of use and the fact that you can integrate your own music. I can’t say Thank you enough and I will continue to market your app. I have now downloaded the bridge to 10K and working towards the 10K goal (it’s been tough but pushing through).

Hi Ashley,

We actually released our C25K app on the Android in January. If you are interested in training with that program you will be able to find it on the Android Marketplace!
Our Ease into 10K and Bridge to 10K apps are not on the Android market yet, but we hope to have those there too!

I was wondering if you were thinking about making the apps available to android users as well as iphone users. I would love to have the app, but right now I have just been timing myself on the treadmill. I love the program, and I graduated c25k on Jan 8, 2011 and actually ran my first 5k that day. I am now doing the ease into 10k so that I can do one this spring.

Dawn,

What an awesome journey, thank you for sharing. We will have shirts available for purchase real soon I was actually working on the design a few hours ago. I am now awaiting to see if Alex likes them as much as I do. I can safely say we will have them available in the next couple of weeks if not days. Good luck on your race and keep us posted on your success.
