This is the best marathon training app I’ve found so far! It’s way better than the Garmin Coach. It pushes me more than any other training I’ve ever done. I am using the app for my third marathon. The first two I used a generic training plan from online. I love how much the workouts are pushing me and increasing my speed and endurance. It’s something I never would have done without the app. I’m trying to do all my own self training just because a personal coach isn’t in my budget. This app is very reasonable for a year subscription and I’m only on week 4 but getting so much value out of it! I can’t wait to see what my marathon performance is after using it!! I can already feel that I’m significantly faster than I was just 4 weeks ago, training without any real conditioning/speed workouts or pace targets. Since having pace targets, my speed has changed immensely. The app is so easy to navigate. I love that I can switch around all my workouts to fit my schedule each week. I like the AI insights after each completed workout. I love that I can see all my workouts up until race day. I love that it does NOT adapt to my watch sleep/body battery. I know my body better than my watch does and that was my biggest complaint with the Garmin coach. This app allows me to do the workouts when I’m ready and recovered and constantly challenges me without being unachievable. I highly recommend!!! It’s the best marathon specific training app I’ve found so far!

I am so grateful for Runna!! I just finished my first half marathon today and my time was 1:55, which was at the lower end of my predicted race time :) I love not having to think about how to construct my tempo and interval runs, and the flexibility of the app (being able to update your current race times to update your pace targets, and to move workouts around) is great. As I've learned more about running I have sometimes adapted Runna's suggestions, which includes adding in a couple of easy cycling sessions a week to increase my overall aerobic volume and get closer to an 80/20 easy/hard split (running 5 days/30 miles a week Runna's suggestions are typically closer to a 70/30 or 60/40 split). To that end I would love if Runna could incorporate an ability to add cross-training workouts to your weekly plan, and if they could add a feature where you could see your weekly easy/moderate/hard breakdown by projected time. It would also be cool to be able to see a graph showing how your planned volume changes over the course of a training plan. Would also appreciate a negative split race timing feature! But other than those tiny things, I love everything about Runna and can't wait to use it to train for races in the future!!(Customer service has been great, also. And it works super well with my Suunto Race S watch!)

Runna is fantastic for many reasons. I love that it builds a plan for you with scheduled runs, workouts, and more that you can tailor to fit your needs and lifestyle. For me, that's a massive help towards reaching my goals! I don't have to think about planning out my runs or what I'm going to do. I let the experts handle that and I just go out and do it. It really is like having a coach. I suppose the price is not bad for that, but you can't really get feedback, so that's a con. But there are many options for workouts to supplement your runs, which I love! I used it to train for my first half marathon and while I was set back by an injury, I did manage to hit my personal goal. That's perhaps another con. Runna will account for vacations and adapt your training plan to accommodate those, but there isn't a similar option to easily adapt the plan for injury. You can go in and customize the plan to ease up on the load (which is what I did), but you have to proceed at your own discretion. You can skip workouts but I hate doing that lol. It does allow you to change up the plan to add in workouts you've missed, but I've never tried that. My last beef with Runna is that it does not count any free runs (any run you do outside of the runs they plan for you) into the total mileage of your plan. It acts like they don't exist and it really bothers me haha. So if that would be fixed I honestly would give it five stars.
