The Journal of Cancer Survivorship has recommended the Couch to 5K App (and other fitness apps) as a way to benefit cancer patients by boosting their activity levels. It helps improve their quality of life, reduces fatigue, alleviates symptoms and may boost survival chances.

That is useful information crocheter66, always good to hear that the cancer survivers have something to aim at.

On many of those event run on TV like the London Marathon, Manchester 10K, the Great North or Scottish Run you see many cancer survivers running, they will have began their journey with runs like C25K.

C25K can boost anybody's chances of surviving life in general, not just cancer.
