Took my running to a new level!
My coach (Alex) helped me adjust my training schedule and did it from my run times and input on how I felt. Well worth the yearly subscription compared to hiring a coach in person. He gave me super helpful tips and was able to meet with me virtually when I signed up.
Disappointing
Really disappointed in this app and coaching program. I used it last year to train for my first marathon and found it useful and user friendly. Signed up again this year for another marathon training block and find it really glitchy, takes forever to update content, and lacking the coaching interface that I experienced last year. Would not resubscribe, unfortunately.

Cancelled and was still charged. No response
I cancelled my membership before the end of the membership year. My payment method was still charged. I reached out on 2 occasions with no response or acknowledgement. However, they are quick to market to you.
Quite honestly I feel that this application is on cruise control. I graduated away from Garmin to Coros and this app does not integrate. The interface or UX is very 2012.
McMillan Running is way better.

Feels Like It’s in Beta
I used this app to train for a marathon and the app constantly felt like it was in beta. Clunky, poor flow, poor functionality with a lack of thought around how training data is input and useful. Perhaps it’s better for people who run with their phones but for runners who don’t, it’s more or less no better than a notebook with a pen.
Additionally, I felt like the “coaches” they have never actually read my messages. I’m not the best runner ever, but I have a significant background in it and understand training styles and methods. I tried to make it clear up front so I could connect better with the coaches but they gave me what seemed like pre-typed answers or just failed to even read what I wrote.
Finally, they don’t make it clear that changing baseline training data can change your training cycles. When it happened to me they made me feel like I was the idiot who didn’t know what was going on. Which was ridiculous in itself. Why would someone make an app to change training cycles in the middle of a cycle?! The data set shouldn’t be editable when you have a race scheduled in the app.
Anyways, this app has potential, but has a long, LONG way to go.

Coaches are great.
I signed up via NYRR and was really happy with my plan. The coach was great and very responsive to my messages.
The app itself is a little buggy and doesn’t offer the greatest interface, but the content is solid.
Ultimately, the coach and custom plan are where the value is, and I was really happy with both.
