Leave a Review Nike Run Club
Great for Beginners, Not So Much for Experienced
When I began running 5 years ago, I loved the app because it motivated me to run. The guided runs were always fun and uplifting to listen to during a run. I also really liked the coaching tab that had coaching for beginners, strength building, and for racing. I started out with coaching for beginners, then went to coaching for strength, and then coaching for my first half marathon race. Fast forward five years now, and I’ve outgrown the app because they’ve taken away the coaching for racing that adapts to your runs automatically. Now the coaching is “canned”, static, and does not adjust to the runner. Also, I’d like to sync my runs to running community apps, like Strava. However, the Nike Run Club app doesn’t sync to anything which makes it hard to share my progress with friends and my local running groups. Nike Run Club doesn’t have any running clubs in my area. They are only in the biggest of cities. For this reason I gave Nike Run Club app three stars. I would be happy to give it more stars if they brought back the adaptable coaching and allowed the app to sync with other apps. It does sync to Apple Health, but Apple Health won’t easily export all the run data, like splits, intervals/laps, etc. Apple Health only exports summary run data to other apps. Nike Run Club needs to build a direct integration to popular running community apps so all the run data can be viewed and analyzed in those apps.Show lessBeansandBananas
Pace estimation off on a treadmill but otherwise 👍👍👍
I’ve used this app only once so far but am absolutely loving it.
The only thing that’s stopping me from enjoying it 100% is that I am on a treadmill and the pace that gets calculated is sadly WAY off. So I ended up starting and stopping the coach Voiceover to match the distance I had covered.
If there could be a feature that’s either syncing the pace with a treadmill (I know that’s hard to do for all models in the world) or simply a button where I can enter my pace (which would also allow me to not have the phone on my body but in front of me), that would be absolutely wonderful!
Let me know if I missed that setting - or, if you are ever implementing it, want someone to test it 😊Show lessizzy_kiko
Good app.. few glitches.
Update 7/8:
Still a good app but I the distance calculations has been off quite a bit. I haven’t been shorted a mile on multiple runs. The app is tracking the distance but not calculating correctly, shorting me on my goals through the app. Please fix.
I have completed a 10K run thanks to this app and would and do recommend it to people.
Updated 2/1 I’ve began to follow a running plan. Having an actual plan/coach on this app would be great vs. having to follow a PDF then find the correlating run. Also, the app has continuously crashed on me during my indoor runs. It’s not logging any of my runs when done inside. This is becoming very frustrating. I've enjoyed this app thoroughly. Ive recently started running again after multiple years of surgeries and injuries. have passed milestones for myself with this app! I've even considered trying a 10k. So thank you. Unfortunately there have been a few occasions when I've been running on the treadmill that the app crahses and doesn't log my run, which is really frustrating and unmotivating. Minus that the coaches are great and I like the different options to mix things up. If the glitches and not logging could be fixed this would be perfect.Show lessTH1sSucks
Best running app I’ve used.
I’m younger and started running track a couple years ago I was a sprinter and a hurdler. I used to joke that anything over 400m scared me and that I couldn’t run more than a mile. When Covid happened I was very serious about not getting sick so I opted out of the track season. I started running in my neighborhood and after using several apps I found NRC is the only running app I’ve used that offers it all without me having to pay loads of money. I am not subscribed to it or anything, but I still get all the guided runs and coaching. It’s a really amazing app. I love the Community and the feeling of being apart of something. NRC has given me a lot of confidence in my running. I am not as consistent as I would like to be (school and such) so I haven’t ran over 3 miles yet. Running is a learning experience. This app is really, overall, great. If you happen to stumble across my review and are still debating on getting it I’d say: download it, use it for a couple weeks, if you happen to absolutely hate it you can always delete the app. Anyway I never write reviews, ever, but this app is a lot of fun to be apart of so I figured I’d show it some love.Show lessACAB BLACK LIVES MATTER
Get the App - ‘Just do it’!
This is hands down one of the best running apps out there. My running has improved so much and I’ve fallen in love with it. The guided runs are encouraging and entertaining and there’s lots to choose from.
I’ve recommended this app to so many friends and family and they’ve all said how brilliant it is!Show lessRhi to the Hyizzle
Still the best running companion
I’ve been using NRC for over 10 years, since the days of Nike+ with the sensor in the shoe. Since then the app has gone through so many changes, but has consistently been the number 1 running app for me.
Some changes I may not have liked at first (I miss the online dashboard) but ultimately that didn’t take away from the experience NRC offered.
One feature I was sad to see go was the training plans, as I used one of those to train for my first half marathon, the mix of runs and workouts gave a nice variety and kept training fresh in a way the downloadable ones from the website can’t.
The current version of the app, for all intents and purposes, I cannot fault it. Now that I have an Apple Watch it’s even better as I get the NRC experience during a run without having to carry my phone with me. The only feedback I have would be to offer a dark mode for the mobile app similar to the look on the Apple Watch. Otherwise, NRC is still feels like app that became my training partner so many years ago.Show lessClvTONO
Most Recent Update is the WORST
Disappointed that the running plans are no longer available on the app. I don’t want to read a PDF @nike. I liked the ability of having a customized plan designed for me based on my current goal. No longer available so this app is basically useless to me.j_baylon_
Latest update has issues
After a run today I noticed the data transferred to Fitness and Health apps but the actual run is not showing as a workout in either app.Markakett
Where has “my plan” function went?
I have been using your app since 2014, I only reason I loved and used your app all the time Is because of this function My plan, now I can’t find it anywhere, please bring it back again!!!!runclub 7685
Great app but..
I really enjoy the app. My running has improved 3 fold since the beginning of the year.
It is great that it is one of the few apps out there that gives free training plans. The plans are fantastic in giving you goals and kilometres to achieve and give beginners a great starting point. I achieved a pb with using the app for a half marathon.
However my only 2 gripes is you don’t have an option to force adapt the training plans. It only happens on Sunday which can be frustrating as dependant on time it sometimes does not adapt. It would be great if you had an option to “adapt plan” when it suited you.
Currently you can’t just add runs to a plan you have. Some you can. Others you can’t. I just completed a plan run and it hasn’t saved as being completed within the plan. Very frustrating as if you are wanting to tick each run off you can’t.
Also when doing speed runs it would be good it told you through audio when you had hit the required distance rather than being forced to look at your watch the whole time. Pity the people that don’t have a fitness watch attached to their phone as it would be very tedious trying to run near max effort while holding phone and looking at it.Show lessndnehshehend
