Great app
I’m training for my 30th marathon or longer distance and going for a bigger PR after injury. I’ve always created my own plans in the past but wanted something to help with reaching a bigger goal. The plan offers the intensity I want right now and it’s great that I can send the speed workouts to my garmin watch and have each segment show up there while I run. Much appreciated!

Best workout application there is.
Because it is free you would think it would be an average to below average app, but that is far from the truth. This is the best workout application I have ever used. I’m 30 years old, and I had the disc between my L5, S1 vertebrae replaced last year. I am running my first marathon in March, and this app is what is helping me get prepared. I could not thank Nick and the BPN team enough for making this awesome app, that is ABSOLUTELY FREE! Also, if you have not checked out their nutrition products, you need to! Everything they produce is top of the line.

Great app but 1 question
This is a great training app and I love it and it’s workouts. I currently am using it to train for my first marathon and it is working wonders for my training.
1 question though. The app tell you to run below your max aerobic heart rate and to use the MAF 180 formula to find it. That’s great but when I transfer the workout to my watch it wants me to run in zone 3. I thought most of your runs (including below you max aerobic heart rate) should be done in zone 2. It’s not that big a deal I was just wondering why that is.

Best training app!
This app has honestly made a huge difference in my training! The way it is structured is easy to follow and understand. My training has never been so consistent since using the app! Best training app I’ve used by a country mile 🙌🏻
Using it for Marathon prep
I LOVE IT. I’ve been using this for my second marathon prep, and I love the workouts and the functionality of the app. I can sync the workouts with my Garmin which makes it super easy for me to hit my paces during workouts. I will 100% use it again for my next prep, and I would recommend the app to anyone interested in running programs!

Best free race training app on the market
Loved this app for training for my first full marathon. Great programs from Jeff Cunningham, a phenomenal coach. I used the 16 week beginner marathon program and ran a 3:36. Options for 12 vs 16 weeks and beginner vs experienced. Highly recommend any type of runner to use one of these programs and results will be great if you stick to it week to week. Also used BPN supplements during training. Highly recommend gels, G1M Sport and electrolytes for training!

First marathon
I completed the advance marathon program. The app exceeded my expectations. The training program was well put together. People are skeptical about online training programs but this one worked for me. 3:10:05 for my first marathon. Thanks Nick and Jeff
App malfunction
Sometimes the app doesn’t let me select the products I used for the workout or run and I have to close it and reopen and still doesn’t work might be a big problem but overall still a good app for it being free
Great Program
I’m blown away that this app is free. The programming is great. On week two of the Hybrid athlete plan and I love it. I’m relatively experienced and fit so be sure to check your ego if your just starting a hybrid plan or really consider building a base first if you are new to the gym completely.
One request, I would love to see a ultramarathon hybrid and stand alone plan. 50k and/or 100 miler. I would be willing to pay for that based on how well organized these other plans are.

Much appreciated structure
I am beyond overwhelmed by the gym. I’ve dabbled in lifting, running, cycling etc. most of the time I create my own “program” off research. Rarely do I stick to it long term.
I’m currently following the hybrid. It’s forced me to use equipment in the gym I’ve never used and have been intimidated. I’m doing some of the runs and substituting others for cycling.
I really enjoy the lifts being planned out for me. With modifications I’ve been working through it and really enjoying the process.

Best fitness app I’ve used
Easy to navigate, easy to follow, easy to get started, all prep work for 1 mile and 1 rep max were done the day before and was able to get started, also with the 2 days rest I can make up runs or lifts if I missed a 2 day without over taxing my recovery
Workouts
The app is great and the workouts are phenomenal. I appreciate the 12 week hybrid training program, allows to really focus on the workouts with having to design my own.
After the 12 weeks is their a recommendation on what to do next for programming?

Beginner marathon plan
The training plan had me well prepared to complete the distance. The workouts were easily pushed to my Garmin watch and keep me on track during every training event. I would highly recommend this App for anyone new to the marathon world.
Super helpful in my fitness journey
App has been extremely helpful in my fitness journey. I’m more of a runner and wanted to start training like a hybrid athlete and wasn’t sure where to start. The app has been amazing and I’ve seen very fast signs of building strength. On week 5 and love it. Can’t believe the app is free also. Love BPN!

Beginner Training Plans Need Adjustments
The Marathon Training Plan for beginner runners is overwhelmingly aggressive. I don't think an 8-mile long run is viable for bodies that have only just gotten into running. I would suggest extending the 16-week program or reducing the mileage, especially early on in the first few weeks of the program. What do I know? I'm not a professional running coach, just a guy with shin splints :)

Great Free Workout App
I’ve been using this app for a few months and love it. I’d say it’s not for the beginner. You should have a solid base before getting into one of the workout plans (2-3 months in the gym).
Suggestions: I would make a workout plan for people with 45 minutes to 1 hour of time a day. Sometimes the app has 2 workouts scheduled for the same day. Not a huge deal because I spread those across 2 days.
I would also love to see an app for Apple Watch. It would be cool to just bring the watch to the gym instead of looking at my phone.
I would like to see a way to check workouts off as completed during a workout. This would be useful when you go out of order at the gym. Someone is using the equipment for a specific exercise.
Overall the app is great!

Garmin x BPN
BPN has been awesome! I was in that awkward stage where it doesn’t really feel like any progress is being made, but after I switched training plans to the BPN hybrid athlete, my performance was skyrocketing!
Unfortunately though, I don’t like how you can connect a Garmin watch and it doesn’t do anything but tell you health metrics in the app. I want a BPN x Garmin collaboration project where you can sync the workouts from the BPN app to your Garmin device. That would make it the perfect app!

Beginner Plans are not really for Beginners
Overall great App with free workout and training plans. Especially if you have been training and working out for a while consistently.
If you are entirely new or getting back into it, the plans leave much to be desired. The 5K Beginner Training plan essentially asks you to run a 5K on Day 1 and then 2 more times just in the first week. That is a very steep entry for someone that is new to running or hasn’t ran in a while and is currently averaging 0-5 miles a week.

PR Marathon
This app helped me train better than any previous marathon. Each week I put in the work the app told me to do while listening to Nick Bare’s podcast for extra motivation. Highly recommend this app, the endurance supplement, and the impact that BPN is making in so many athlete’s lives.
Great Workouts!
I have been doing the hybrid athlete program for 6 weeks now. Great easy to understand and follow workouts! I have been able to do a lot from my small garage gym and some I expect to go to local gym for. Overall wonderful experience!
