### 1/5 — Not worth your time, or money.

*2026-10-14*

I tried creating three plans, and on the third attempt, it finally generated one. Having been a runner for a long time, I found the plan to be… not great.

There are much better competitors on the market. I’m not sure I can believe UTMB would sponsor this. If so, yikes.

### 3/5 — Will be great one day

*2026-09-06*

I’m on a month’s trial and hoping to supplement my Garmin Connect. Overall it’s fine so far. It gets the major things right, but there are a number of things that could be better.

Positives:

The workouts are about what I would be looking for.

The 3 different coaches are a good mix of ‘personalities’.

The debrief is good.

Could be better:

Setting up HR zones is crazy complicated and leads to vague values. Other apps do it a lot better. Also, I set them up twice, and they didn’t appear to save.

If you do a run that’s not on the plan, it shows in the app on the weekly calendar which is great, but the description is useless.

You can move sessions within the week, which is great, but not from a Saturday to a Sunday or vice versa.

I set mine up to do the long run on a Sunday, it’s decided to put it on a Tuesday for the first six months and I can’t do anything to change this.

### 5/5 — Appli très utile, adaptative et évolutive

*2026-07-17*

Je dois l’utiliser depuis un peu plus d’un an et l’appli m’a permis de structurer mes 4 entrainements par semaine pour atteindre la plupart de mes objectifs (finisher). Mon niveau ne me permet pas de faire 100% des programmes proposés mais j’essaye de rester dans les 70 à 80%, ce qui semble quand même porter ses fruits. Je vois bien que plus je m’approche je du 100%, plus c’est efficace sur les distances trails longs que je vise. Donc ça marche. Bonne réactivité de l’équipe quand on pose des questions par e-mail. J’aime beaucoup les séances de renforcement avec vidéos c’est très pratique. Même si il y a quelques exercices un peu complexes à réaliser (suggestion d’amélioration : donner le choix de remplacer un mouvement par un autre ou de le supprimer de la séance?). Bref pour moi c’est une super application et qui s’améliore tout le temps au fil des mises à jour. Merci et bonne continuation !

**Developer response:** Bonjour Frededino,
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour d’expérience très complet, et bravo pour les entraînements et trails réalisés !
Nous notons la suggestion de modifier / supprimer un exercice de renfo, nous ferons sans doute évoluer le module en 2027.
Bonne préparation pour vos prochains trails,
Guillaume de l’équipe RunMotion

### 5/5 — Très bon appli mais les plans d’entraînement ne m’ont pas entièrement satisfait

*2026-04-13*

1 an en Premium. L’application est très ludique, facile d’utilisation sans fioritures. La synchronisation avec Garmin fonctionne à la perfection. J’apprécie les petites « conversations » avec le coach virtuel concernant la nutrition, la récupération, etc. Un plus non-négligeable. 

Toutefois, pour mes 2 plans d’entraînement au marathon, je n’ai pas été entièrement satisfait par les séances. J’ai trouvé les séances de fractionné pas assez spécifiques ou orientées seuil, il y’avait pas mal d’allure « inutiles » à mon sens. Les séances de sorties longues étaient soient trop faciles ou avec trop peu d’entraînement à allure course. On regrettera également le manque d’adaptation du plan d’entraînement suivant la réalisation des séances précédentes. 

Au final, excellente application, je vais simplement en tester une autre pour voir d’autres plans d’entraînement. Merci à vous, vous avez du bon boulot.

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour ce retour très constructif et pour votre année en Premium 🙏

Nous sommes ravis de lire que vous avez apprécié la simplicité de l’application, l’expérience avec Garmin ainsi que les échanges avec le coach virtuel autour de la nutrition et de la récupération.

Merci également d’avoir pris le temps de détailler ce qui vous a moins plu, n'hésitez pas à nous en dire plus à app@run-motion.com Les séances que nous proposons sont variées et sont toutes utiles dans le cadre d'une préparation marathon, pour développer un peu la vitesse mais surtout l'endurance.

Merci encore pour votre confiance, et bonne continuation dans vos prochains défis sportifs !

### 5/5 — Highly Recommended for Trail Running

*2026-02-24*

RunMotion helped me successfully finish the MontBlanc Marathon in 2025. The training program was just what I needed as a 50 year old who was not able to put on the miles I used to, and also adjusted when I encountered setbacks or injuries. Even when I experienced a minor injury right near the end of the training program and was not able to do the final few weeks of training before the race, it turned out that all the previous months of training had prepared me well because the race was a success. So, if you need a flexible program that prepares you incredibly well for a trail race, and especially if you are on the ‘slightly older’ side then I highly recommend RunMotion.

### 5/5 — Language

*2025-12-21, version 8.2.1*

Mi trovo molto bene con questa app, mi piacerebbe che si potesse trovare anche il italiano

### 2/5 — Mala

*2025-10-01, version 8.0.7*

Estaba funcionando muy bien la app y también iba bien con mis entrenamientos, pero a penas hace un día ya no pude entrar a la aplicación, al momento de abrirla solo dura 1 segundo abierta y se cierra de inmediatamente.

### 5/5 — Compagnon de tous les jours

*2025-09-02*

J’ai testé pas mal d’applications dans ce domaine et celle-ci sort vraiment du lot. L’approche ludique fonctionne parfaitement - on ne voit pas le temps passer et la motivation reste intacte, contrairement à d’autres apps plus classiques.
L’interface est soignée, la progression bien visible, et surtout ça ne devient jamais ennuyeux. Exactement ce que je cherchais pour suivre mon programme de façon régulière sans contrainte.
Je recommande, ça vaut le coup d’essayer !

(Un message aux devs : peut-on automatiser l’association d’une activité lancée depuis la montre à l’activité prévue du jour ? Merci !)

**Developer response:** Bonjour Edmond, merci beaucoup pour votre avis enthousiaste ! Nous notons l'association automatique dans les suggestions, c'est un sujet que nous avions identifié et qui verra le jour très certainement dans les prochains mois.
Bonne préparation pour vos prochains défis sportifs !
Guillaume pour l'équipe RunMotion Coach

### 5/5 — Super appli développée en France

*2025-06-11*

Programmes très bien pensés et le debrief en fin de séance permet d’avoir un aperçu simple sur les points forts et les points faibles de la séance, avec les axes d’amélioration à privilégier. 

Gros plus du fait qu’il s’agisse d’une application française, le service client est hyper réactif et a l’écoute. 

Je trouve qu’il est juste un peu difficile de naviguer dans l’application au départ :
- le menu en bas de page mériterait de faire apparaître les intitulés des onglets pour retrouver plus facilement ce que l’on cherche 
- la partie calendrier devrait permettre de choisir facultativement des conseils supplémentaires en nutrition ou préparation mentale (j’aimerais y retrouver d’un coup d’œil uniquement mes entraînements) + dommage que l’on ne puisse pas faire apparaître ses séances perso (exemple : sur les séances de musculation, indiquer les exercices que l’on souhaite faire pour nos séances déjà préparées)
- retrouver plus facilement la partie « réglages » dans le profil, difficilement visible en bas de page 

Autrement tout le reste est génial, la partie communauté pour le partage d’expérience et de motivation, les programmes des séances.. j’ai pris l’abonnement annuel après la période d’essai, c’est que j’ai une grande confiance pour l’atteinte de mon objectif via l’appli !

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour d'expérience complet ! Nous allons proposer une nouvelle version dans environ 1 mois où on revoit complètement la partie réglage pour la rendre plus intuitive, j'espère que ça vous plaira.
Des graphiques très complets sont arrivés dans la nouvelle version du mois d'Août, où vous pourrez visualiser plus facilement l'impact des séances hors programme, notamment sur la charge d'entraînement ou la durée totale de votre activité sportive.
On croise les doigts pour la réussite de vos prochains défis 💪
Guillaume pour l'équipe RunMotion Coach
