BEAT-SYNC
Easy Half Marathon dynamically changes the beat of YOUR music to perfectly match your pace. Research shows that music distracts the brain during exercise and faster music causes people to accept and even prefer a greater degree of effort. This means you will work harder without trying (or without even feeling the difference), you will get better results from the increased effort, and most importantly, the time will fly by. You can also download 15 tracks of high-energy fitness music for FREE to really get your playlist pumping.
DESIGNED AROUND YOU
Whether you're looking to complete your first race or you want to improve your half marathon time, Easy Half Marathon has the perfect program for you. Your pace and Run-Walk-Run ratio of each workout is customized to your ability, plus Easy Half Marathon gives you complete control as you move through your workout. Turn the intensity down a bit when you're struggling or crank it up when you're ready for more, and Easy Half Marathon adjusts your workout — and your music — on the fly.
GPS TRACKING
Easy Half Marathon includes GPS tracking* so you can see your pace and the distance covered during your workouts. GPS works best outside with a clear view of the sky. When you want to work indoors on a track or on a treadmill, use your beat-synced music to set your pace, and Easy Half Marathon will track your results.
Works with Health
- Completed workouts sync to the Health app, including distance, calories burned and duration.
*Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Ratings and Reviews
Music and coaching issues
Overall I love this app. It has helped me finish my first half and well on my way to second. The only drawbacks are a minor one and a semi major one. The minor one is the Verbal Coaching can be woefully misfiled or inappropriate. For example getting coaching that clearly belongs at the end of a run at the beginning or running coaching during warm-up or cool down. The semi major issue has nothing to do with training but rather with how the app itself works. If you add a song from your library and remove it and it plays during workout the music just stops instead of skipping the missing song. Along these lines is that if you remove a song or restore phone from backup and then reload your music, the app cannot find the song. Overall building and using playlists is the weakest part of the app. Generally this is a fantastic training app.
Playlists disappear, not customizable please update!
I have been using the Lolo Easy 10K app for 10 years so it seemed like a natural when I went to do a Half Marathon that I would buy the Lolo app for this. Not only was I unable to import my playlist from the 10K app but now my playlist is gone from my Lolo 10 K app! This is a playlist I’ve been curating and adjusting, customizing it for 10 years so it really irks me to have one app erase the playlist from another.
What I do like about this app though is that it is a one time purchase, a rare thing in a land where we can’t seem to buy anything, we can only rent, especially when there is GPS or music involved.
This app has so much potential! However, it feels like it is an orphan app and never gets updated. Somebody, somewhere gets a check each month for work they did a long time ago, don’t they see that they could get a much bigger check for doing some more work even a modest amount, to update this app?
Great app! So happy I chose this one!
I’m really enjoying this app while training for my first half marathon. 2 things need fixing though. The coaching voice needs to have its own volume control. I can hardly hear him while my music is going. I can turn it up but I don’t want my music that loud. Also some of my songs don’t play and I don’t know why and it doesn’t automatically go to the next song.
I love you can up the BPM on songs, that’s very cool and very handy. I also like how you can adjust the run/walk ratio.
If those 2 fixes were done I would easily give this a 5 star rating.
