Draft:None to Run

None to Run is a mobile application, community platform, and resource aimed at beginner runners. 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 and Android platforms and focuses on making running accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Development and History
The 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. Launched in 2020, the app has grown to support a vast community of users worldwide. Over the years, None to Run has undergone several updates, each aimed at enhancing user experience and expanding the app's features.

 * Progress Tracking: Users can track their running progress, including distance, pace, and time, encouraging continuous improvement.
 * Community Support: Access to a supportive community of fellow beginner runners, providing motivation, advice, and encouragement.

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.

Business Model
None to Run operates on a subscription-based model, allowing users to access basic features for free with the option to subscribe for premium content and functionalities.

Community and Impact
