Very basic

I won’t pay for this again. It ends up being quite discouraging. The distances are OK and on par with the PDFs from the website, but the paces are a bit ridiculous. Check out Reddit threads for more. Gives me a bad “grade” for going farther but not quite as quickly. Won’t connect with Apple Watch and the gps doesn’t match distances. My Apple Watch gives much more feedback than the app. Great for tracking but not great for coaching.

Glitchy new app

The app failed to sync my completed runs despite telling me that my garmin was synced. It then adapted the plan to the fallacy that I hadn’t been completing assigned workouts. I discovered this right before my race and realized it had been way over training me.

You should really be QCing your product and hiring engineers that know what they’re doing. Gotta pay for talent.

Support also gave me an LLM slop response when I inquired.

Product was better before the glitchy auto adapt feature.

Perfect for beginners!

I’m not a runner by any means. I started about 4 months ago and picked up Run with Hal to prepare for a 5k, and I’ve loved having a plan created for me! I will say sometimes it will have me run like 7 miles, which my mom (who is an experienced runner) says is a bit much for a beginner. Other than that, I love it!

Overall great, it appears could use slight improvement

I really enjoy the structure of the training program and the feedback. My only complaint is that when I use the app to track a run it often won’t let me save at the end of a workout and I end up having to enter the information manually

Hal believes in you!

I had a 10 mile race and I have previously gotten hurt and my times were getting worse and worse. I followed his plan and he predicted a pace for my race that I haven’t run in 10 years. I thought yeah right… well Yes Right! I ran that race and felt great and my time was amazing like he predicted. I followed it to a tee and it worked!!!!!!! Highly recommend! Hal believes in you and so now you can believe in you too!!
