Used for my half marathon training and downloaded for full marathon attempt !!
Used to struggle with my breathing but run walk had now got it sorted 👍

Finished my first marathon thanks to this app!

The program feels low pressure and not as intense as other training programs I have used. I was able to stick with it through my entire journey

Great app for training!

If you are someone who needs a training schedule laid out for you, this is a great app! The 26.2 app has your running, cross train and rest days figured in to each week to help you stay on track and meet your goals! I have used the 5K, 10K and now the 26.2 app and I really appreciate this plan having a little more structure than the shorter distances.

Enjoyed the app

I just used this app for the first time and my first run since leg surgery. I like the 1st marathon training program so far. It helped me ease back into running after I’ve stopped running for years. I feel great! And I will continue using this app.

Really enjoy this app

The only thing is I wish that if I finish a run faster than program says I should I should be able to end it and have the time record the correct Milage and time. Instead of the full time. I am in year 2 of using the app and I do the longer runs as a run instead of run/walks and finish miles before time is up but can’t log correctly. Other than that love the program the app has. Have used for half marathons and a full marathon now.

My first day running

I’ve never been a runner, I’ve spinned my entire life. I also had very severe knee surgery almost 2 year post op, and I had a great time doing the first day run! Like OMG that’s crazy, I wasn’t insanely out of breath or anything :))) 3 miles in 45 minutes…. This is pretty good for me LOL

Purchased app in the past and now it’s no longer honored

I understand that many apps offer subscription-based payment models for enhanced services or access to exclusive content. While I recognize the value that these subscriptions can bring, I have noticed that after paying for an app, I am no longer able to utilize it without subscribing to a certain billing plan. I find this situation rather frustrating, as I believe that once a user has purchased the app, they should be able to use it without being forced into an additional subscription. It feels unfair to users like myself who have already shown support by purchasing the app initially. Thanks for scamming me out of my hard earned money.

This app makes a marathon feel possible!

I love that I can play my own audio books in the background

Abandoned their customers

I purchased the bundle with all of the running apps 6 years ago, but now due to their subscription model they have taken away the program from those who already paid for it. I feel taken advantage of, charging nearly $30 for a software bundle only to make it unusable due to a business model change. It’s unfortunate that everything has gone to a “subscription model.” Especially when the model doesn’t really give anything new from what was previously available. Stay clear, there’s better options out there.

Don’t purchase the full program.

No point purchasing all four. I’m on week 11 and it’s totally malfunctioning. I have no rest days scheduled. There’s no way to upload your info or change anything on your account. Pretty disappointing actually.
