Runna: Running Plans & Coach Customer Service

Runna: Running Plans & Coach Positive Reviews

I love Runna!!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!).Rowank27Version: 6.21.1

Next best thing to a Running CoachI can’t say enough good things about this app. It takes all the stress out of building a training plan for my races, allowing me to focus on the actual running. As a newbie to marathon racing, this app helped me complete my first marathon, and I felt supported every step of the way. I even finished with a respectable time for my first race! One of my favorite features is the post-race recovery plan. It keeps you active without losing momentum, which was key to my smooth recovery. Now, as I train for my second marathon, I’m seeing significant improvements in my performance. While diet, sleep, and recovery all play a role, I know this app has been instrumental in keeping me consistent and on track. The app’s flexibility is another major plus. You can easily rearrange workouts within the week to fit your schedule, and it adapts well to your time constraints. It even provides helpful explanations for key running terms, which is great if you're learning the ropes. Once I finish my second marathon in December, I’m planning to use the maintenance program while I scout my next race. If you’re serious about your running goals, this app is a must-have! It’s straightforward, user-friendly, and makes training much less overwhelming. Highly recommend giving it a try—you won’t regret it..SaraasdfghjklVersion: 6.16.1

Finally got me into runningI have tried so many different running plans and apps and every time my motivation has died just from the plans being too vague (not giving suggested paces/no rigid plan just “run for 20 mins”) or just too demanding (immediately starts with running 3 miles). I have always been consistent with working out (yoga, lifting, and hiking) but I have always wanted to be a runner just never found a plan to really help motivate and train me well. Runna has gotten me into running and has made it so easy to build my endurance, I am now running 3 miles consistently and feel really good while doing it. I love the regimen I’m on now and will continue to use Runna to get to a 10k, half marathon and maybe a marathon someday! I personally love running with it on a treadmill since it tells you how fast to be running and u can set your treadmill accordingly, I dont run outside much (maybe once every 2 weeks) but it is consistent with distance with the gps. I’ve had no problems with it not connecting/recording with my apple watch. Thank you Runna!.Mads2110Version: 7.6.0

BEST choice for the ambitious, consistent, and less-injury-prone runner.I've tried several semi-tailored running plan apps and strategies. My favorite so far has been Runna, with Run with Hal as the runner up. I'm liking Runna better because I can actually use it in between races with its maintenance plans. I've never been able to justify a full-year subscription to RWH because there's not much to do with it between races, but with Runna it's useful every month of the year. Then the icing on the cake (and it's a LOT of icing) is that Runna auto-syncs my workouts to my Garmin. Then the Ice cream on the icing is the personal support from actual coaches. That alone makes the app worth it. Oh, almost forgot. The powdered sugar on the ice cream is that the plans get as ambitious as you want. I have a pipe dream of running a 100miler some day, and it's nice to know this app can take me there. I haven't used that feature yet, but I'm sure it'll be great to have some day. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to move a workout to a different day, but I figured it out. I do wish I could edit the workouts in Garmin, or at least make small tweaks in the Runna app. Finally, and this is not patently a pro or con, Runna has provided the most challenging training plans. Arguably not enough easy runs, but also arguably a great blend for people who are less injury prone..NotwesVersion: 3.5.3

Great concept, iffy executionFirst off, the idea behind the app is amazing. I would still suggest it to people to use. I love the personalization and the detailed metrics along with the syncing feature on my Apple Watch. What I find a great amount of issue is the bugs within the app itself. Primarily, the Watch app. You either have to chose your phone or your watch to record your run. You won’t get as good of metrics on your phone but it will sync to your headphones 100% of the time. I personally like the watch due to the interval training screen on my watch so I don’t have to pull out my phone constantly when running. HOWEVER! My big big big issue with the app, is that the app on my watch will pick and chose when it wants to connect the prompts on my headphones (AirPods). When I’m doing interval that gets super frustrating. I’d really like the regular prompts to notify me since they switch every .25 to .10 miles and I always have to check to see if I’m on pace or not. However I don’t want to sacrifice the details of my runs and it’s really frustrating. There is limited options in the settings on the watch to make this work and I have not seen anything to help the issue. I generally think if I’m paying $20 a month for a service like this I shouldn’t have these many issues to be honest..Aj4792Version: 4.2.12

10/10 would recommendLove this app!! The creators definitely seem to care about what the users think. It makes running or strength workout and I love both. Especially with how it’s set up to function during the runs, the app will tell you when to slow down/speed up and will tell you what you have coming up (speed/distance wise) and when to start it. I don’t have to pull out my phone at all when doing something like hill sprints to log that I finished a rep or a set distance and I love that! I don’t like having to check my watch or phone every couple of minutes to check my time/distance and I don’t have to with this because it tell me when I’m halfway as well as gives me my pace and lets me know when I’m finishing up! You can make notes in the exercises for lifting and there’s a video and written out instructional video for each exercise. There are “notes from the coach” telling you what to focus on for both lifts and different runs. Love this app.BeccaTheBombVersion: 6.13.2

This app has turned my life aroundNine months ago I had a heart attack and ended up spending the better part of two weeks in the hospital. A couple of months after leaving the hospital, I walked 1/4 mile (400 meters) and was completely exhausted. I took a three-hour nap afterwards to recover. I jokingly referred to that as the start of my “ultramarathon career”. I kept walking, then started running, and in order to better train downloaded the Runna app. It has been life-changing for me. The workouts are at the exact right level of challenging for me and have slowly gotten longer and more intense without overdoing it. I’ve been using it for the past 2.5 months and have increased my “long run” from 4km to 14km, which is more than I could have done BEFORE the heart attack! My muscles are tired but not in agony, my resting heart rate has gone down and my heart rate for similar runs has dropped from 140bpm to around 120bpm. But the best health benefit has been my improved mood and outlook on life. It has been truly transformational. Lastly, I have to give a big shout out to the team at Runna. They are very professional and have been quick to respond to my questions and feedback. They seem like a really great group of people putting out a really great product. I’m thrilled I bought it and have even given two gift subscriptions to my kids who saw my progress and wanted to try it for themselves. Hands down the best app I’ve gotten for my iPhone..Steopa17Version: 6.3.1

The running app I’ve been looking for this whole time 🥺I’ve used so many different running apps and plans and have had a hard time sticking with any of them due to my inconsistent schedule as a shift worker. I’ve also struggled with how to incorporate strength training in with my running. Runna is the solution to that. Although I do wish I could move some of the days around myself every week to accommodate my varying weekly schedule, it isn’t difficult to adjust your plan by the week in the app as you go. I love that you can pick how many days a week you run, add a strength training routine (with fantastic workouts), and how personalized it is! My favorite feature is that you can sync the workouts to your watch and the running queues show up on the watch so you can leave your phone behind. Also they have some fun playlists. Overall I’m a big fan and stoked to get back into running from square 1 again after recovering from Covid with this tool 😊.Az9263Version: 3.3.9

If you’re brand new to running…This is the app you need if you’re brand new to running! I had never run before using Runna and just started back in early October 24’. The app is easy to use and even gives you a strength training program if you wish to do so. You can listen to your music while still being guided during your run and the tips they give at the beginning of each week are very reassuring and informative. I’ll be running my first 5k in a couple of weeks and I am stoked! I missed a run here and there and haven’t kept up w the strength training program, yet I still feel more and more ready for the 5k closer it gets. I love running so much and I believe the easy-to-follow guidance of this app has much to do with that - I’ve stayed motivated and feel good about my progress. Though, I don’t use strava as much, they do connect with each other automatically and both are helpful tools. I’d suggest using both. Good luck!.SyasnerisVersion: 7.3.0

The best running app out there!I was definitely skeptical about paying for a running app since I’ve used the Nike running app for about a decade. What I’ve enjoyed about the Nike app are the plans and playlists that complement your runs. However, after I did my 1-week trial with Runna, it didn’t even take the entire week for me to realize that Runna took the training program to another level. I was happy to fork over some cash to gain the full user experience I’ve been looking for since I started running long distances. The running plans are fantastic, the communication of your pace throughout a run is awesome, the videos to explain the reasons for the run or how to do things are so helpful, and the small thing of being able to rearrange my week was the cherry on top. I truly cannot speak enough great things about this app. It’s already helped me get back to running a 10K inside of a month. Love it and thank you Runna!.Capt_CarlucciVersion: 6.3.1

Very very good app, with some drawbacksI started using Runna as a way to get back into running after over a decade break. And it worked! It truly is an absolutely amazing app. I can’t find any other like it. I love that it uses the principles of running slow to run fast and can be very customizable. Because of this app, I was able to build up to runs longer than those I ran in my teenage years (albeit slower). I also love being able to add notes to each run and to track my shoe mileage. I highly highly recommend this app for those who need help structuring their training plans. Cons: 1) Though you can rearrange your workouts within a week, you can’t rearrange weeks. For me, I need to de-load during my period week, but the app forces you to de-load every 5th week. I ended up just syncing my runs on separate weeks, but it does mess up training a bit. That’s really annoying and seems like it could be such an easy fix. 2) the weight training isn’t the best. I wish those workouts could be more customizable or at least incorporate the concept of progressive overload. I’d also like to track how much weight I’m lifting in an easier way 3) the price is high. For me, it was absolutely worth it for the first six months or so. But now I’m in the swing of things, and already deviating substantially from my plan, I’ll likely (sadly) cancel the sub. I want to focus on strength training, and so will have to look for a different app (or local gym) for that purpose..Blue sommthingsVersion: 6.26.1

Incredible, especially for beginnersRunna has been amazing in helping me stay running consistently and train for specific goals. I’ve ran on and off before, but at the beginning of 2023 decided I wanted to really get into running, do it the right way, and eventually run a half marathon. The distances and workout variations have been spot on for my fitness level, and I’ve already seen great progress just in the first few months. I’m confident that if I stick with the plan, I’ll be able to run that half marathon. The specific things I like about the app is that it uses GPS tracking so the distances are accurate, and it gives me specific paces to shoot for during my runs along with voice prompts when I’m either going too fast or too slow. As a beginner runner, it’s been incredibly useful for getting to know what each pace feels like. 10/10 would recommend!.Sara.E.93Version: 3.4.0

Love this app!I love the flexibility and details provided within the Runna app. I was looking for an app that would include detailed runs, not just distances but actual speed/pace goals for each run. And I also wanted help with fitting in the strength training among the running. This app does all of that and more! The runs are actually quite fun and go quickly as most of them are broken up into warm up and then different paces followed by cool down and it makes the longer runs and the speed workouts go by so quickly! One feature that I think is awesome is that you can manage your plan by selecting number of days per week, what level of experience, time of last race, etc. You can do this during a plan without having to end/start an entirely new plan. It allows so much flexibility and really allows you to customize the plan to fit your goals. Excellent app!!.TaraLeigh22Version: 4.0.5

LOVE THISI love the organization and how the app connects to Strava and Garmin. It feels more personalized once you enter what event you’re training for. I don’t even need to bring my phone with me once Runna connects to Garmin it’ll tell me exactly what workout to do. the longer runs or paced runs - the app tells you if you’re hitting the target pace while you’re running so it tells you to go slower or to go faster. I thought this was a pretty cool feature that felt like some personal training to hit your personal goals. It gives the option to also schedule in strength training to the mix of it all and you can get a very detailed and organized printout of your plan. (to RUNNA - I love everything but if you wanted to be a little extra you could add sick days for a reason why the run was missed so people can look back at their plan and see in more little details.).SandriaMargaritaVersion: 6.0.2

Raising the barI’ve used the app for seven weeks now for a marathon training program and it’s going very well so far. The app predicts your upcoming goal race time based on a recent race, then allows you to select the number of days of running, your long run day, whether or not to add weekly strength routines, along with a weekly Pilates workout and/or yoga mobility workout. You can schedule and sync your weekly planned runs & workouts to your calendar and all of your planned runs sync to your watch as well. The app allows you a good amount of control over the parameters, but then spits out a training plan and all you need to do is to execute. The plan looked ambitious to start, but I’m mostly on track. I’m feeling confident I’m going to be in good shape come race day. Actually, in better shape than I originally thought I would be come race day!.Christine! Sixteen!Version: 6.11.0

Great for marathon training, some bugsThis app is great for my marathon preparation as it helps you plan ahead and progressively increase the intensity of the workouts. I haven’t seen another app like that. It helps that you can rearrange your schedule when you miss a session or two. There is one annoying bug and interface issue they need to resolve though. Your pace is said out loud every minute or so and it’s often not very precise. More annoyingly it will say one pace out loud and even before ending it can skip to the next pacing announcement which can have a huge difference (sometimes of 10-20s per mile or km). It’s really annoying and I would rather than, for the longer runs, be able to just hear the pace every kilometer/mile than so frequently. Following this, there should be more options in the app on the regularity of announcements, and please add less robotic voices!.Cedrico_88Version: 7.6.0

Your Ultimate Running CompanionI love Runna! As someone training for both a 10K race and a half marathon, this app has been my guiding light. From setting up personalized plans based on my pace and goals to providing a diverse range of workouts, Runna has truly revolutionized my running journey. One of the standout features is its ability to tailor workouts to my needs, incorporating easy runs alongside mixed sessions to keep me challenged yet motivated. But it doesn't stop there – Runna goes the extra mile by offering strength training, Pilates, and stretching routines, making it a comprehensive all-in-one workout app for runners. Thanks to Runna, not only am I staying on schedule, but I'm also seeing tangible improvements in my pace. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, Runna is the perfect companion to help you become a better, stronger runner..JnoroVersion: 6.0.1

Just start runningAs someone new to running, Runna has removed a lot of barriers of entry for me to just get started and focus on actually just doing the thing. It has a great user experience that makes it really comprehensible to get started. What's worked really well for me is the ability to track everything directly on my apple watch and then synching data after my workout. The watch app is like having a coach on your wrist, knowing that you're within your threshold of performance is a great way to know if you're doing things correctly, but also a great reminder to slow down or pick up if you're leaning too far down any side of the spectrum. I'm currently training for my first 5k and each week I feel more and more confident that my plan is leading me in the right direction..Jose AzuaraVersion: 4.2.22

Honest reviewHonestly the app is great. Easy to use. I was so excited when I found it bc I’m looking to do a marathon and the app brings you through a easy and quick questionnaire about what your goals are. The first week comes around and while your running the app tells you what pace you need to go out by saying “slow down” or “speed up”. I thought that was an awesome touch. After the first week I was beyond excited to start week 2 and of course this is where my problem sits. As your navigating through the app their is no mention that I saw of a paywall. It’s $18 dollars a month for $100 for the year. A little disappointed as this is one of the more expensive paywalls I’ve seen but I’m not surprised. If you truly and really are dedicated to a goal of a race. This app is for you. If you are looking for workouts with no intentions of completing a race. Go to the Nike running club app. They have 300 free running workouts..Jon AndoVersion: 4.2.42

Great! But for me…This is a really great tool for people a who are trying to train for a big race and/or to get faster! The variety of workouts that will pop up in your training plan is amazing! When I was training competitive in college, one thing I didn’t like was repetitive workouts, with Runna, most of the time you are doing something new, which is really nice and refreshing!! I really don’t have any complains with this app, I think it’s at Great tool. It’s just for me I think I am a bit too advanced for it. I had to set the sliders to max to fit my running ability. I want to run about 80 miles a week, and this training plan only seems to go up to around 70 or so. But other than that I think this is going to REALLY help a lot of people out there who are trying to get faster!!.NdkdbcnVersion: 7.5.1

This is the running app that you’ve been looking forI've tried many different running apps, but most of them have been disappointing. They often require strange workarounds to import activities, provide a subpar experience on the Apple Watch, and create plans that lack a proper balance between rest and hard work. As a result, I ended up getting injured at the beginning of last year. However, everything changed when I discovered Rana. I quickly switched from my existing marathon plan to Rana's, and my only regret is that I didn't find it sooner. It's evident that the developers have put effort into every aspect of the app. Rana is designed by runners, for runners, and it has proven to be incredibly useful in my journey to improve my running times, overall fitness, and strength..Jj1293Version: 4.2.42

Runna’s training programI love the Runna training program! I love that it has so many different types of runs & also that it really challenges me! I would never run these speeds they have me running if it weren’t for this training program. It has pushed me beyond my comfort zone & more. But, it also has shown me that I can run faster & farther, which has increased my confidence in my running. I also enjoy the warm-ups, cool downs & the mobility program! Great job! If I could change one thing it’s, maybe add more to the runners profile like where they are running. I run in an elevation level of 7,000 feet & it’s very hilly. I think it makes a huge difference of where you are training. There are others factors that could be included as well..KuelhawkVersion: 7.1.6

Runna... I love youLove your app so much. It's everything that I was looking for. I love that there is no pressure to be fast right out of the gate. I only started running this summer for the first time in my life and most training apps expect me to keep a 10:15 pace as a beginner which is frankly unattainable and disheartening. I love that the runs are sent straight to my Garmin device and all I have to do if follow the training plan as outlined. I also love that the workouts are added to my calendar. (If it's on my calendar you can consider it done). Lastly, the pace meter is absolute perfection. I look forward to everyday of outdoor training which is CRAZY even think about (it's cold up in this joint). Thank you for changing my life for the better..AdriannaPaoVersion: 7.9.0

Motivating and InformativeThere’s no way I’d be able to stick to a training plan without Runna. It took the guesswork out of the “what should I even be doing” that I was feeling about preparing for my upcoming (first!) marathon. It gamifies running in a way and mixes things up so that I’m not just doing the same boring thing 4-5 times a week. And, it gives guidance and information before and after runs that tells me why I’m doing this particular thing, what to focus on this run or this week, etc. I don’t pay for a single app (literally, I will sit here and delete GB off my phone to not pay Apple $1.99/month for extra storage), and I purchased the monthly Runna subscription after using the very first day/run of the free trial. Happy trails!.ReibakerVersion: 6.7.0

ConflictedI really liked this app. I’m a 50-year-old woman who is not a hard-core runner. I log about 10 miles a week mostly on the treadmill. I love how clean and simple and user-friendly it is. I really do like the plan/training options that they give you. But I wish it was more customizable. So for example, on one week when they give you a day of interval trainings, and you’d rather do a long run or pyramid or hills that you could switch it out. Or set your own distance goals for the week. Or set your own time goals or something. That part is not customizable at all. The other issue is, it is super expensive. The training videos are not helpful and I’m not into the community social aspect at all so with all of that the cost for me doesn’t justify the other aspects of it..Wordy17Version: 6.17.1

Couch to Amateur Runner!I started Runna as a way to get myself running again. I played soccer for 10 years, so running is not new to me. But after 8 years off, I needed help building the foundational skills to run again. Runna is amazing! In under 6 months, I’m comfortably running 3 miles per session and then wake up motivated to run again the next day. I’ve always been the slowest on my team, so speed has never been my goal. Runna allows me to pick a distance goal and helped me build up my endurance over the weeks to achieve my goals. I feel very set up for success. If you stick with your program, including the weekly and daily coach recommendations, you will definitely achieve your goals too!.Layla oVersion: 6.23.1

Love my marathon plan!I am 8 weeks into training for my first marathon. I love the plan it has come up with for me and love how you can customize it! This training is going so much better than the 1/2 I trained for using just a random plan off the internet. I like the strength exercises that they give you too! The fact that you can choose how many days you want to run per week has been a game changer. The only thing I wish was different is that i wish you could choose if you wanted to see the distance you ran, or the distance you had left. I would prefer to see the distance I ran as I find that more helpful to my mind set as opposed to “counting down” the miles..GdyjkbcfVersion: 6.10.0

Detailed & easy to understand.I like that this app has more details than a lot of other apps & plans out there. The run plans actually give you specific times/paces to hit unlike other apps that base your running off “effort” or “zones”. As someone who is new to run training I’m not familiar with zones or even my own effort sometimes. (Like running at a 70% effort isn’t as clear to me as running at a 12:30 pace). I also really like that they give you the strength workouts. Other run plans I have tried to use just said “cross train” so I was doing general strength workouts instead of strength training to specifically help improve my running. 10/10 recommend, & you can’t beat the price..ChelbyAnnMarieVersion: 3.5.3

I never liked running untilThroughout most of my life, I hated running. I always thought you had to run as fast as possible every single time, which I didn’t enjoy. Then, I discovered this app through a YouTuber named Kris and decided to give it a try. I love having routine and structure in my life, so this app is a perfect fit for me. One of my favorite features is the calendar, where I can see all my runs laid out in detail and even move my sessions around when needed. I even purchased a subscription for the entire year since I’m planning to do two races this year! I never thought I would discover my love for running in my late 30s. Thanks, Runna, for such an amazing app!.AyeenaBananaSplitsVersion: 7.10.2

SpectacularLove this app, have the annual subscription and it’s well worth the money. Just finishing up my 10k training plan and switching to half marathon afterwards. Love the guided workouts, well structured training plans, flexible options, etc. My only complaint previously would’ve been that the goal paces were pretty aggressive and it feels too heavy on workouts rather than easy runs (only 1 easy run a week on a 4 run/week plan). However, the new AI implementation that switches up the paces based on your performance helps a lot. Kudos to the developers and ppl working on this app, listening to feedback and continuously improving an already solid product. Love it!.KittyCate888Version: 7.9.0

It’s not boring!I’m a casual runner who isn’t looking to qualify for a major marathon or win prize money in races. But I need help knowing what to do and don’t know enough to plan my own workouts. I wanted a running coach but couldn’t afford the prices people were charging. I tried a few other apps and printing out programs I found on the internet, but I wanted MORE. I found it with Runna. I’m coming back to running after an injury that required surgery, followed by depression and weight gain. And I’m falling in love with running again. This app is just what I needed, and I’m so glad I gave it a try. It even combines strength workouts, too, which I’ve found are really helping. Thank you, Runna!.GScrapsVersion: 4.2.12

Concept is great but...The content, the plans and the way to navigate the app are amazing. I love how you can run intervals and the voice over feature tells you if you are at pace or not. It tells you to speed up or slow down which is great because you can still heat music and you don't have to constantly look at you watch. However, synching and pairing data to and from different apps is nearly impossible. I have updated to latest version, reinstalled the app turned on and off then back in privacy settings and it just wont sync with my apple watch. I dont have issues with other apps like I have with Runna. I have reported the problem and the team says they will "look further into it" but have not offered a resolution as of yet..HdegiudgVersion: 6.21.1

Worth itI’ve always hated running. I did it to help lose weight but never enjoyed running. I’ve been doing Runna for about 5 weeks now and have actually started to enjoy running. I’ve found myself looking forward to workouts throughout the week. The variation in workouts keeps things fun and not boring. After 5 weeks, I’ve seen an improvement in my runs. For reference, I haven’t run more than 2 miles in a session in 10 years. Since using the app, I’m up to 4.5 miles in a session, and enjoying it. This app is absolutely for all experience levels. If you want to get into running and actually ENJOY it, give Runna a shot!.Tfad12Version: 7.10.2

New Update is 🔥Runna is great. It helped me run my first ever marathon in 3:30. The chemistry with my Garmin watch is fantastic. I save so much time since Runna automatically sends my workouts to my Garmin. I am also loving the new update. The daily overview is a great feature, and looks great. Can’t wait to see what’s next for Runna! If I could add any feature to Runna, it would be to add an indefinite training plan. So rather than training for a race, or picking daily workouts, Runna will pick a recommended workout based on previous workouts. That way I can still work on increasing physical fitness without having a set race in mind. My Garmin does this, but the recommended workouts are not great..MichaelwthorsonVersion: 7.1.4

Love the app!I’ve been using Runna for about 2 months and have already seen improvements in my running time. The structured runs make it easy to make a plan and not over do it each week. It syncs well with my garmin watch and makes it easy to stay in the right pace zones for each workout. I fee the strength workouts could use some improvements. The app would stop my music when I would use the timer in the workout. I also wish it would incorporate more cross training with other cardio options to supplement the running routine. Overall I have seen a huge improvement on my pace and stamina while running!.KelseraVersion: 7.1.0

Love this app!I am enjoying the app very much! It is synching seamlessly with Apple Watch and Strava. I started with the free version but upgraded and it has been worth it. The standard version is fine, but I like to check in about things sometimes and the coaches respond quickly. Runna is set up to communicate with you and provides encouraging messages that I really like. The app is easy to use and easy to rearrange the schedule when needed. I just realized today that I can link an activity that I completed outside the training plan. There are stats for each run that are very useful, but I am not focused on them right now. I recommend this app!.PatsPovVersion: 6.16.1

Great for training for a marathonBased on my current fitness level, the app generated a personalized training plan that includes targeted strength training designed to improve performance and minimize the potential for injuries. They recently added support for treadmills which is great as the weather turns cooler and some of my training runs will be indoors. My only wish is that they included options for heart rate-based training since I live in a hilly area and pace-based training doesn’t take hills and the amount of work my body is doing when climbing grades into consideration. I have heard that this feature in the works and I’m looking forward to it!.Jeff KirkVersion: 4.2.4

A Very Full-Featured App!First of all, I do not normally take the time to rate apps, so this is a first or second for me. But, this app is worth a review. This app is surprisingly good. For new or experienced runners alike, this app can help you reach any goal. The plan that the app ai generates for you is custom and it is integrated well into garmin/strava/calendar/etc. The app is full featured. It has great strength training and mobility along with your running workouts. All of these things are flexible for your experience and availability. Excellent! The app is also easy to use and has great support. I have tried many training apps, and this is the best of them all. I highly recommend it!.Camera Junkie 100Version: 6.14.2

Love this appThis is the only app I’ve ever reviewed… so here’s my honest option. At first the price scared me, but then I tried it for a week and enjoyed it. The plans are so good and it’s gradually pushing me to work towards my first half marathon. I need the guidance. It’s nice to know when to take breaks, slow down, run faster and learn different types of running exercises. I also enjoy the warm up and cool downs. If you’re training for a marathon and are a new runner~ get this app. If you’re trying to improve your PR get this app! It’s for new runners and experienced runners. Also, I have to add that they have actual customer service support with real people. So that’s helpful!.MermaidsRunVersion: 6.0.2

Bad for Slow RunnersListen, I've never been fast - likely never will be - but if you run anything near a 13 min mile I'd suggest just figuring out your own plan. The New to Running and Return to Running plans are both *horrific* for ramping around week 3. You go from running minute intervals to distances, which in and of itself is fine but why in the world would you make a newbie run 3+ more than their last interval? Seriously went from 5 min intervals to 8+ minute ones because it didn't really account for how fast you were before that switch. Really discouraging to be meeting all my pace targets and feeling strong only to not physically be able to keep up for the distance intervals (because it didn't properly account for them).Poetic poserVersion: 6.23.1

Fantastic for those new to runningI’m relatively new to running and this app is everything I was looking for. I’ve never run in high school or college so I never had a coach. I didn’t know what any of the terminology meant - tempo runs, fartlek, etc. Even more so, I didn’t know how to gauge my pace. The runna app has audio guidance in your ear that tells you if you need to speed up or slow down to stay on pace. The plan shows you all weeks in advance but also tweaks it if needed as you go. And you can rearrange workouts within the week too. This has been so motivational to use and is like having a coach in your pocket. Highly recommend!.Rikers12997654Version: 4.2.16

Wonderful app for Race Training!I have been using this app for 6 weeks and I was able to cut down my half marathon time by 20 minutes. I love that you can adjust the workouts throughout the week to meet your schedule. I think the pace targets are spot on and have pushed me to the right point without injury. I really like that it syncs with my watch and that the app can talk to me on my runs (pace targets, mileage, etc.). This app has been a game changer for me as I train for my first marathon. The runs feel challenging but spaced out enough throughout the week. I also like the strength training options. Definitely worth the money..Kduff2315Version: 7.1.6

Great App!I haven’t always had fond memories of running but when I do I think of how great it made me feel after. I would say this app does a great job curating a weekly workout routine that incorporates running at reasonable times. As a first time Runna user, I really appreciated this because making my own running schedule would have been a disaster. Honestly, I 100% know I wouldn’t keep up with my own attempt at scheduling runs. This is why Runna has stayed on my phone. The easy to follow plans make me want to run more. Definitely recommend if you’re starting to get into running or just adding some exercise into your routine!.Veronica_leitaoVersion: 6.17.1

The best running app☺️I got this app after I saw a girl using it on tiktok to make a schedule before her half marathon race. I decided to try it out because I am so bad at being accountable for running during the week without a schedule. This app has now changed the game for me. I recommend it to everyone because Runna couldn’t have made it any easier for someone wanting to run outside (or of course inside). One of the best features is that it tells you when you are on pace and off pace for all of your workouts on my Apple Watch while I’m running. My half marathon race is coming up and now I feel extremely prepared..MaisieboxVersion: 4.2.39

Wonderful App when it works!I have overall enjoyed the app. I initially used it to train for a half-marathon. Along the way I ran into quite a few technical issues. Most commonly not recording the run and then glitching when recording my pace. I also ran into issues of trying to end a run. I reached out and the staff was very responsive and open about technical issues they were working on. I saw a lot of improvement after that. After completing my half-marathon I decided to keep the app as I wanted to maintain what I built up. Unfortunately I have started running into the same issues of the runs not being recorded. I ran a 10k race this weekend and nothing was recorded. It said it had started the run but nothing did end up recording. I am training for another half in April and on the fence about keeping. The program is great but not sure I want to pay the cost for a program I could find free somewhere. As a casual runner it isn’t as important to me to have something super structured and well thought out. I would recommend but caution about the issues!.Jwhoberry1123Version: 4.2.19

LOVE Runna!I don’t take the time, usually, to provide a review on apps. But this is worth it. I’ve referred two friends this far. Take all my money. This app is so worth it! I love the customizable plan, the coaching while you’re doing the run, the warm up and cool down options as well as the options for integrating strength and mobility workouts. I can’t think of anything they’ve missed. My pace has already improved and it takes the guessing out of what I need to do to train for my race! Thanks for the amazing app!.MicjanineVersion: 6.8.0

If I were a rich man…This app has potential and I wanted to love it, but it’s seriously lacking value. The subscription is outrageous for what is offers, especially when compared to other running apps that have comparable or better features for less (Strava, Runkeeper, adidas running, NRC…) I liked the plans and that they are personalized, but Runkeeper plans are very similar, also personalized, and a third of the price. I like the idea of the community but it was sparse and posts seemed unanswered more often than not (probably because so few can afford this app). It was also missing the social features I enjoy most in other running apps (like Adidas and Runkeeper and Strava), virtual races and challenges. So ultimately I found that feature a flop. I like that it’s compatible with Apple Watch, but had syncing issues with Apple health and Strava which I found frustrating. I liked the interface and I liked the format of treadmill workouts, more than anything that’s what set it apart from other apps for me. It also is missing guided runs if that’s something you’re into. If the app was reasonably or even competitively priced I’d subscribe because I think it has potential and I did like the workouts. But I’m going to stick with my Runkeeper plan ($50/year vs $150). Even Strava is only $99/year, and it too has personalized running plans as well as much much stronger community features. I’m honestly at a loss where they came up with $150 compared to other running apps but oh well 🤷‍♀️.HezzidogVersion: 4.2.17

Best running appThis running app is what you would imagine a great running app to be. Its really user friendly has a great running week visual and the workouts are fantastic. I can shut off my brain and follow the workout prompts. I feel accomplished after each week and can really truly feel the process I’m making..Rick145829Version: 7.0.0

Easy to follow plans for beginners!Customizable for when you want to run/do strength training. Easy to follow and manageable.

Loving and enjoying running againI used to like running before my ankle and knee injury. Since the injury I’ve stopped running for almost 2 years. Back when I used to run, I always get sore muscles and joint pains. I just try to power through the pain, and some days I don’t enjoy my runs. Thanks to Runna, I’m loving running again. They helped me with correct training method and strengthening the right muscles to improve the quality of my running technique. I never knew how important these well curated and personalized training could help me. Thank you Runna for helping me enjoy my running again with no injuries and muscle pains..Zaheer Y.Version: 6.26.0

Excelente applicationI would give him 5 points, but there is something that I still don't understand how IT IS NOT POSSIBLE to do it. When you are training in a plan, it is not possible to run in the middle of a race and replan (run a 10k during a marathon plan for example), or exchange a week of training for another due to holidays for example, or modify the training due to injury. They are details for a super powerful app. Thanks to Runna I ran a marathon again 5 years later, I trained from May and this October I did 3:51 in Chicago.Xavi GrayVersion: 6.26.0

Great training app!I’ve been using this app to get faster in preparation for my first half marathon. It’s been so helpful to have a plan and so satisfying to see the results!! I was running around a 5:30 pace for an average easy 10k and today I ran 16k at a 5:02 pace. I never thought I would be able to do that! I’m so proud and it’s all thanks to Runna’s guidance..CourtneyelsaVersion: 6.17.1

Worth ItSubscribed to Runna to get myself back into running and it’s been the best app/program I’ve used. They customize your plan, completely tailored your needs. It can be considered pricey for a monthly app. But if willing to pay $25/month for Crave & Netflix then I’m willing to pay $25/month for something that is investing in my own health and wellbeing. I’m currently on my 2nd Runna program and really enjoying it!.Olivia DoironVersion: 6.21.0

Amazing!!!I’ve been using Runna for almost a year now and prior to using it I was barely able to run 2km without stopping. I will be running my first half marathon next month!!! The amount of knowledge I’ve gained regarding different training sessions has been wonderful! I was completely oblivious to the different running styles (long, interval, hills, etc.). These different training sessions along with pace training has improved my cardio and overall health significantly. The fact that it asks a few simple questions and creates a complete workout program (including Pilates, strength training and stretching sessions) takes so much weight off my shoulders. I just look through my week and know exactly what I’ve got planned and it’s so easy to navigate or make changes. Runna has completely changed my life in terms of my relationship with my personal health and goals. I don’t care how corny that sounds I am super grateful for this app!.HALEY LENNYVersion: 6.17.1

RunnaThis plan is working well so far. Very new to me. I love the guidance of a structured plan and something schedule based. Only caveat is having to run two sessions at once to get the audio - watch and phone..ElisardanVersion: 6.16.0

Apple watch user friendly-ness needs improvingAbsolutely love the app for the training plan, pace cues, and resources. Unfortunately, I have issues with starting my run every single time due to issues with the Apple Watch compatibility. The run won’t start properly until I restart it a number of times. Plus, it’s super finicky with music and the audio cues with headphones. The app won’t work properly if music is playing form your phone (as opposed to watch). I use Spotify and don’t have a cellular watch so I can’t not use my phone, but it causes really annoying issues. Hopefully these bugs can be fixed soon so that starting runs can be more seamless..Leeeemma2024Version: 6.16.0

Runna: Running Plans & Coach Negative Reviews

Pretty disappointedThe most frustrating thing about this app is the audio prompts do not sync to your headphones when you’re using your watch during a run. I’ve heard some people say it works with your phone, but then other metrics aren’t available. I would have remained a subscriber if this feature had been available/fixed for the watch app; especially pace notifications for going too fast/slow than intended for a given training session. Pacing is what I struggle with the most. The pace notifications did not work at all, and I had all notifications turned on. I also didn’t really get the impression that it was very personalized for me. Maybe I just didn’t use the app long enough to see those types of adaptations/adjustments to the plan. A bit of explanation about how that would work in theory, could’ve been helpful (e.g. intro video or message walking users through how and when the plan adapts to your performance, how long it takes to establish a baseline, way to provide feedback that it’s too difficult/easy?, etc.).TailaVersion: 4.2.45

Ended up with tendonitisI signed up with Runna to go from a half marathon to a full, and I ended up with tendonitis at the beginning of week 4. I was hoping Runna would be advanced enough to adjust my plan to accommodate where I’m at, but it really just generates a plan based on what you put in and doesn’t recalibrate as you go on. I have a marathon at the end of September, and I tried to use Runna in mid May to get me started. It would only accommodate a 16 week plan without any way to bridge the gap for when I signed up and when the plan was set to start. When the plan finally started, I followed it to a T including the strength training and slow, easy runs. I don’t know exactly what went wrong, but I do know that my PT says to put my marathon on hold so I can deal with my ankle. After following many other well-established training plans and completing them without injury, I’m going to have a hard time ever returning to Runna. Maybe in a few years when the app is better tested and more flexible, it’ll be ready for the general public. Right now it feels like it’s still in beta which is a little scary..WhagsolVersion: 3.5.3

Promising but still need improvementsThe app content and how they tailor every workout to your goals/needs and experience level is very good, you can tell it is created by people who now their stuff. The videos and readings are very helpful and easy to follow even if you’re new to running. The downside came in the tech side, when logging a workout after I finished the app won’t let me actually finish the workout, it got stuck and the finish button didn’t do anything. Tried closing the app and also restarting the phone and it didn’t work. Had to delete it. Additionally, I tried to log back in with my Apple ID and noticed that the first time it never works you have to do it a 2nd time in order to login. I lost the workout data and there is when you lost me, that is a core feature for this kind of apps and you shouldn’t sell premium or upgrades if the main feature in the app is broken. I’ll continue with Strava for now..J-Rod912Version: 4.2.18

Be careful and listen to your bodyOverall, I like the concept and functionality of this app. But I want to warn everyone not to blindly follow a training program that is not fully tailored to them. Listen to your body. I started a half marathon training plan on Runna at the end of December to improve my half time, I thought I’d feel amazing and strong, but after a few weeks in, my legs were constantly sore (not the good sore). I was worried I may get injured, so I reached out for help and advice, but my trainer suggested all looks fine with my times, maybe cut back runs from 4 to 3. I did cut back, but it was not enough. I got to the point I was in physical pain everywhere on my legs, and I couldn’t even finish one of my runs. I decided to stop running altogether, a week of rest later, still feeling absolutely terrible. I have 2 weeks left till my half marathon and at this point I am not even sure I’ll be able to run. I am insanely disappointed. Based on the symptoms I have, I am worried I may be at least in non functional overreaching or maybe even overtraining territories. Which takes months and months to recover from. I wish I never started this training plan. Please, be careful and don’t listen blindly to an app. Listen to your body..Dora-89Version: 3.3.27

Paywall + ExpensiveI’m a high school student that’s been running for awhile, due to my location reaching under 20 below frequently I’m not able to run outside as often as I would want. So I got this app to help me with running inside and for the gym. I was excited to use the free features of this app but turned out that you have to pay for an EXPENSIVE subscription to keep using after a week. Which is ridiculous with how there are other FREE and BETTER apps like the Nike coach one. If you don’t want to pay over $100 a month either do it yourself or go to Nike. The fact that it never mentioned subscription until AFTER sign up is disappointing as well as I want to know what I’m signing up for and how it’ll access my notifications. This app is super disappointing and just not worth the money in terms of subscription. Don’t get the app unless you’re a super rich person..D4wnf411Version: 4.2.40

Took all info before asking for moneyIt’s an automated plan generator. What’s the subscription for?!.LeotopiaVersion: 4.2.12

OvertrainingThe App is set up well but had me overtraining my max heart rate and pace sometimes multiple times a week leading to a regress in fitness. The app does push you but for me it worsened my ability to run because I couldn't recovery form that intensity multiple times a week..23467994Version: 6.26.1
