None to Run is a mobile application, community platform, and resource aimed at beginner runners.[1] Founded by Mark Kennedy, a RRCA Certified Distance Running Coach, the app is designed to help individuals with little to no running experience to start running in a structured, supportive environment. The application is available on both iOS[2] and Android[3] platforms and focuses on making running accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
Development and History
editThe idea for None to Run originated from Mark Kennedy's observation that many beginner running programs did not cater to absolute beginners or those looking to get back into running after a long break.[4] Launched in 2020, the app has grown to support a vast community of users worldwide.

The app emphasizes ease of use, with a user-friendly interface that caters to runners of all ages. Many users view None to Run as a gentler alternative to Couch to 5K.[5]
Business Model
