## What is Half Marathon Training?

Use the Vandersoft Half Marathon app to improve your stamina, endurance, and health to help you run a Half Marathon! Your body's strength will gradually increase over time with interval training.

Over the next 20 weeks your running will be steadily improved. You will start with 1 minute jogging intervals in-between 1.5 minute walks. As you complete runs your body will be strengthened and the program will slowly become more challenging.

Take your device with you on your runs! Listen to your favorite music and get prompted over your headphones to run or walk. Your entire run will be directed through your headphones or speakers.

Glancing at the app while on your run will show you:
- How long you have been running
- How much time you have left on your run
- how much time you have left on your current interval

Need to stop and tie your shoe? Pause the run! Or, press Back/Next to go to different intervals.

Features:

- Use outside or on a treadmill
- Play your music while running - the coach will chime in over your music
- Use with any music app
- Running plan overview - look ahead and see future runs
- Run interval controls
- Apple Health Support! Sync your runs to the Health app and get a better view of your overall fitness.

### 1/5 — Lots of bugs

*2020-10-25, version 1.0.12*

The concept is good but the GPS and the timer both keep stopping during my runs. Had to restart a number of times.

The map of the run also didn’t save properly. 

The app is in need of some serious bug fixes

### 1/5 — First timer

*2020-07-10, version 1.0.12*

Developer get in touch please.  My logged runs on my iPhone have deleted themselves and never synced to the iPad app.  So frustrating.  I paid for this app which could be brilliant but fails on basic things..The plan is great but frustrating as it freezes and/ or turns off several times. Would like a lock screen feature whilst using and prompts not through earphones (safety issue for a lone female runner). Prefer the daily training plan over the C25K apps

### 3/5 — Regular☹️

*2020-04-23, version 1.0.12*

Se desactiva el Entrenamiento y se tiene que volver a empezar

### 1/5 — Horrible app!

*2020-03-24, version 1.0.12*

This application continuously shuts off during my runs! And the company will not return my Facebook or email requests for a refund!!!

### 2/5 — Seemed good at first

*2020-01-10, version 1.0.12*

The plan looks great but my first run didn’t go well. The app worked at first but then kept stopping and jumping around with time and I gave up after half an hour.

### 2/5 — Needs work to be a good app

*2019-10-17, version 1.0.12*

App needs to be kept open - thereby draining phone battery - to keep it working and for the ‘ding’/voice commands to sound. Other running apps I use have this so mystified why this doesn’t; more so as the feedback for the app is consistent that this is a problem so why is the developer NOT listening to feedback? Also noticed recently that if I leave the app during the workout (for whatever reason) it sometimes keeps track of where I am and others it simply resets and my entire progress is lost. This is also very frustrating, and again other apps don’t have this issue. Please sort this out.

### 1/5 — Don’t get this app

*2019-09-25*

This app has a good training layout but it constantly crashes when you are doing a workout and it’s always when you are too far into the workout and don’t want to restart the time because it will mess up your history and you can’t get accurate results. I forgave the app the first time it happened but it does it way too often

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2018-12-28, version 1.0.12*

This app shuts down before the end of each run and records nothing!  I even paid to upgrade and it does the same thing. I’m so disappointed and when I emailed for support I got NOTHING back. Way to stand by your product.

### 1/5 — Constantly drops my run

*2018-12-17, version 1.0.12*

It’s impossible to rely on this app for training purposes as I have only successfully been able to finish one run with the app still working, and that time it recorded 700 meters of my 11 km run.  Very unimpressed...and I paid for the full app stupidly thinking this may solve the problem.

### 4/5 — So far so good

*2018-11-03, version 1.0.12*

Just started using it and I’m really enjoying it so far. Makes me want to get out for a run too when I normally wouldn’t !
