READY, STEADY, GO:
Newbie runners should make a dash for the Couch To 5k app, which has already helped millions of people lace-up their trainers and get going.
It involves three runs a week, with a day of rest in between, and a different schedule for each of the nine weeks.
It is simple, welcoming and motivating.
The app offers lots of support along the way.
KEEP ON RUNNING: More experienced runners will find a community of like-minded joggers on the Nike Running Club free app, with tools for all levels of runner.
It has training plans and audio-guided runs.
Cyclists can join runners in tracking their activity on the Strava app, which is part training tool and part social media community.
The free basic version has loads of features, so you shouldn’t need to pay for all the bells and whistles on the £54.99 annual subscription.
