Restarted my running journey with Coopah
Restarted my running journey with Coopah, and it has been a fantastic experience. The personalised training plan gave me the structure and confidence I needed to get back into running and, over time, improve my pace and race timings.
The workouts are well planned, easy to follow, and adapt well to your progress. What I really appreciate is that Coopah makes you feel like you have a coach guiding you throughout the journey.
I’ve seen a real improvement in my running and timings, and I’m genuinely grateful to Coopah for being a part of that progress. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get back into running or improve their performance! 🏃♂️💪

Not helpful
I’ve been using this for over a month now and I’m not impressed.
All feedback is AI generated you can request human feedback but it’s really generic and not helpful.
The plan doesn’t adapt as you progress, it tells you to review it yourself. So begs the question… why not just use your Strava (which is more detailed) and coach yourself?
The next problem I have is even after linking to my watch, it never pulls in my pace data. It just takes an average and applies the same to all splits.
By comparison, other apps will assess your pace against elevation and provide better feedback. They also adapt as you progress.
Overall this is a bit of a waste of money in my opinion.

How to celebrate 70th Birthday with a Quadrathon!
My birthday is in Feb 2027 when I will be 70 years old. To mark that significant milestone I am running 4 long distance races. The Great North Run 1/2 marathon for which I have used the Coopah App followed by Great South run 10 miles, Paddock Wood Half Marathon and culminating in the Edinburgh Marathon in May 2027. I will exclusively use the Coopah app due to my experience building up to the GNR. I am also using this opportunity to raise money for BBS Uk, a genetic decease that affects 1/100,000 people in Uk.
Thank you Coopah for your support and great plans

best thing i did was starting and sticking with Coopah
I have just run another PB using Coopah and just 1 second off of what Coopah had as a predicted goal time at the start of the plan. There were sessions in this block that scared me to think about, but then I’d go out and hit all the target paces and return feeling as though the training plan knew what I had in me better than I did. I’d have been lost without Coopah. As I approached the end of the block, I had sessions that felt like I was a “real” runner or an “athlete”, like the Eilish 6 x 1 km @ target 10 km pace. I can’t recommend Coopah enough, I have used it for 18 months now and have had PBs at each distance as well as training and running a first marathon!

Goal or money back?
I had a goal of breaking a certain time. Coopah didn’t deliver.
The strength workouts and how they were delivered were great in the app.
Support from the Coopah team felt inadequate, contradicting things they had said themselves too.
The intervals were OK. A lot of the runs focussed on time rather than distance and since I only really work in distance rather than time that was quite difficult to work with, having to plan certain routes based off estimate timings.
I think this app is fine for someone doing their first marathon or 10k as a novice runner, but for someone looking for an app to take the faff and stress of organising a training plan away and one that will also help them excel in their running, I think this app is not it.

Motivation
Early days - just into my second week - but so far it is proving to be good for motivation. I am an experienced runner who has slightly lost her mojo, in that I have been going out to run without a plan, which is not a good thing. Looking forward to each session!
This running app destroyed my passion for running.
Planning on switching back to my original app, as this one is truly awful.

10k Achieved
Fantastic app. It’s just helped me complete my first 10K. It’s does exactly what it coached me with clear instructions any questions I asked the AI the responses were quick and informative also when I reached out to one of the real coaches it was the same.
Simply brilliant
Some friends recommended Coopah to help me with improving my park run time. It’s a really easy to use app, simple to set up, and tailors a program from where you’re atto where you want to get too. It also has actual real people, who are coaches and runners in the background providing guidance and support. I love it, and I’ve just started on my second program.

7 mile hilly Race
Love Coopah , this was my 3rd race with Coopah. There were people who said I wouldn’t manage this race, I believed in the process of the training and had a great result. There were people coaches are so helpful.
From 0 to 26.2 in 6 months
Coopah helped me take on my London Marathon mission for charity. My goal was to get active, building up from 5k/10k/half progressively and safely, and be ready to take on marathon day with confidence. I loved the flexibility to adapt my training plan according to what was happening in the week, and how customisable everything was. So happy with how things went using Coopah and am carrying on now with a new training plan for my next race. I’m telling everyone I know to use Coopah!

Marathon plan
Followed a structured marathon plan that failed me on the day of the marathon. Despite repeatedly reaching out to the couches I was assured everything was on track. After the event I was told that the plan was actually not accurate and they should have spotted this sooner.
Suunto watches support
Can you please add Suunto watches as support?
Spot on!
I can recommend Coopah, start to end of marathon training the pacing, targets and advice have been spot on. It linked to my Garmin which gave me live pacing whilst running, (which you can turn off), the advice from coaches was really helpful for me. I 100% do not think I would have reached my goal on sub 4 hour marathon without Coopah. I came out with 3hr 58min. I’m a mid-stage runner, I run regularly, this was my first marathon but have done lots of halves before.

Coopah support for marathon
I used Coopah for all my training leading up to the London Marathon. I found the layout great, the videos of all the exercise fantastic and really helpful. The timer for the exercises really kept me spurred on.
I made sure to provide feedback after all my sessions and this allowed the app to adapt the timings accordingly, when they were pitched a little too high.
I used the AI coach A LOT, for stretching advice for the little niggles I had in my muscles. I absolutely know that this stopped any injuries as I was following the advice rigidly. I also used it for nutrition and fuelling advice especially a couple of days before my race.
I’ve used other means to train before but I have to say Coopah far exceeded these. I’m now looking at a half marathon next and will put this into the app to get my next training programme. Really looking forward to the next training plan!

Coopah - my training companion
Coopah has been my training companion and buddy over the past several months, getting me from not being able to run 2 miles, to completing a marathon. I had an injury which reoccurred on the big day but I knew I could overcome the pain and get to the end. I will miss consulting Coopah every day. I got great support from real people and from the AI guides. Thank you Coopah.

Disappointing
Given the training program offered, according to the App I was 84% on target to achieve my marathon time in my first race. In reality I missed that by 31 minutes, because I hadn’t controlled my speed effectively enough through my training runs, nor had I built up sufficient stamina. But nothing on the App told me that. Disappointed.

Coopah App - highly recommended
I have been using Coopah for two years now and have found it excellent. It gives you plenty of useful workouts and you have the ability to interact with either a live coach or an AI trainer who can help you with your questions. It is fairly adaptable and has been great at keeping me on track with my goals.

Great Running Coach
I was with the other running app for a year, it was ok, but I don’t really feel I progressed that much. Coopah is much more personal, they check in with you regularly and if you miss a session. Far superior to any other online running app. Thank you Coopah
My Review
Love Coopah so far! My only issue is that I am unable to connect my SE series 3 watch for my workouts as Coopah requires a newer model.
