Helped me get ready for NYC Marathon

I don't have many opportunities to run outside, let alone run the actual NYC Marathon course to prepare for race day. The RunBetter App can be used on ANY treadmill and you can run any of the courses they have from all over the world. It's very simplistic, yet effective. You choose what course you want to run, then the app tells you when to adjust the incline on your treadmill based on where you are in the course virtually. I felt so much better prepared for the hills of the NYC course after using this app.

Thank you so much for your 5 star review, Katie! Good luck with all your future races!

Much Needed Tool

Couldn't have trained for Boston without this app. Was shocked to find it even existed, but I'm so happy it did. Such a smart idea! Will definitely use it again for other races on the app.

Response from developer

Thank you for the compliments, Melba! We are thrilled to hear that you are loving the app.

Great for treadmill users

My town where i run is pretty flat so it was challenging for me to properly prepare for the hilly Wine Country Half Marathon. Luckily i found this app and could run the course from the treadmill at my gym. Convenient and inexpensive.

Great for those who travel to a race

I’m running the New York City Marathon in the fall. I wanted a way to train the course before race day, but I'm not able to get to NYC before then. I was amazed when a friend told me about this app. Now I can train the NYC course on my treadmill. It has been extremely helpful for this runner. I will definitely use it for other races I run in the future- they have so many on the app!

SO happy to hear that you are enjoying the RunBetter App, Benjamin. Good luck with your training for NYC!

Update: Great support!

I want to update my last review. The RunBetter team was super quick to respond and fix a bug that kept me from using some courses. Very responsive and it got fixed quickly. The app is so helpful for someone like me that can only drive to a hilly area on weekends and makes preparing for hilly races much easier. I love that you can run the full course or a specific section. Happy running!
