5K Run: Beginner Training plan 4+

I really liked the set up for this app, simple and encourages rest between sessions but also doesn’t let you go beyond a few days before your next or it sets you back a session. Awesome. Except two days ago on my run I wanted to restart a minute or two in because I had started the program but wasn’t ready... it told me better luck next time and set me back a session! Then today, I had to run on the treadmill, which I don’t normally do and it gave me the cues for about 20 min - then when I looked at it I realized it thought I had run 0 miles and I cannot find a way to manually change this. Told me better luck next time at the end of this run as well! I’m never going to get anywhere at this rate!

Likes: easy to use interface, voice prompts during run mean you don’t have to be looking at your phone, and intervals slowly build distance and running stamina.

Dislikes: mileage pace is very badly off - not even close, cannot see what the next, exact distance is or what the intervals are until you start that specific leg of training.

This could be a good useful app for an amateur runner like myself, but it is has such frustrations that I am looking for another app.

I like the motivation it gives me, and I do run every other day. I did buy it and new the cost before I downloaded it. But im disappointed in the later stages. particularly the 1.9 mile, it never switched off of run! How is this gradual plan going to inch me up to a 5k when all of a sudden it expects me to run 2 miles with no break. What’s more, you cannot repeat stages, if you feel you’re not ready to advance. And you can’t restart a stage...say if your run gets interrupted. The description of the pace in each stage is poor, so often you don’t know what to expect. And...the estimate it gives of you’re running pace is way off. I thought I was killing it....but no. I’d look for a different app if I was you.
