Can’t See Features Until You Subscribe

Saw this on the Big Sur website so I downloaded the app, but can't see any information about how the treadmill workouts are done. Went back to the App store and I can't even see screen shots of how it works. Don't see a free trial option. I'm not going to move forward with a subscription if I can't see what I'll be getting so I can be sure it works for me. Too bad.

You can download the app for free and try any of the courses that are free at the time, WITHOUT subscribing. We usually have at least one course for free so you can try the app without purchasing anything. The app itself does not provide work outs. It is designed to give runners the option to run actual race courses virtually to prepare for race day, or to just mix up your treadmill runs. You can find Workouts using the app each week on Instagram and Facebook @runbetterapp.

Good idea but...

The concept of the app is great but in practice it’s very glitchy often getting stuck on the route selection page or not loading all races. Whilst using the incline alert will notify you of a change but will not be reflected in the screen.

Perfect for winter running

Living in the Midwest, cold, snow and ice are inevitable. But not running isn’t an option when training for a spring race. RunBetter has changed how I train in the winter. Now I can not only stay warm from the cold, but can get hill workouts in that I couldn’t even get outdoors! So glad I have this app now!

So happy you found the RunBetter App for training in the Midwest winters!

Now I can prepare for races properly

Thank you for your app, it makes the treadmill more bearable. I also can train for Big Sur & get my hill training in. Just don’t switch from the app, when I wanted to take a picture of something I switched & lost my run. All in all though, makes me run faster on the treadmill! Thank you!!

Works for me

This app makes a treadmill session tolerable. The elevation changes give me something to do and I like the association to actual courses. So far it’s a better workout than my previous routine. I’m running farther and at higher inclines. And thankfully it feels like time passes faster.
