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.
