Until using RunBetter, I never wanted to use the incline on treadmills at the gym. After using the app to train for the New York City Marathon I can't imagine running at a 0 degree incline again. I also didn't realize how many sneaky little hills there were on the route and using the app I was able to prepare accordingly! One other great benefit is it shows (albeit small) the actual incline, so when it's showing to set your incline to 0, the actual incline might be -1. This is nice if you are lucky enough to own or find a treadmill at the gym that has this feature.I do wish it showed the incline profile along with the elevation profile but overall a great app!

Jeanette, thank you for your feedback! We are so happy you used the RunBetter App to train for the NYC Marathon.
Helped me get ready for NYC Marathon

I don't have many opportunities to run outside, let alone run the actual NYC Marathon course to prepare for race day. The RunBetter App can be used on ANY treadmill and you can run any of the courses they have from all over the world. It's very simplistic, yet effective. You choose what course you want to run, then the app tells you when to adjust the incline on your treadmill based on where you are in the course virtually. I felt so much better prepared for the hills of the NYC course after using this app.

So grateful for this app in helping me train for a difficult marathon course. I’ve been searching for exactly this for months and now I’m less than 2 weeks out - but better late than never to at least try the incline. Can’t wait to use again for future training!! Thank you to the developers for creating such a thoughtful app for runners.
Update: Great support!

I want to update my last review. The RunBetter team was super quick to respond and fix a bug that kept me from using some courses. Very responsive and it got fixed quickly. The app is so helpful for someone like me that can only drive to a hilly area on weekends and makes preparing for hilly races much easier. I love that you can run the full course or a specific section. Happy running!
