Good Concept, But Too Many Technical Issues

I signed up for the free trial and unfortunately encountered multiple issues during onboarding. The biggest problem was a bug that prevented me from completing my profile setup — the Zones setup screen remained stuck on “Loading” indefinitely. After entering in all required information in another section, the “continue set up” stayed grayed out and I could only skip that section.

I tried deleting and reinstalling the app, but the issue persisted. The experience became frustrating enough that I decided to cancel the trial because I no longer felt confident the app would function reliably.

I was also disappointed to find that the “App Support” link led to a “Page Not Found” error. Not having a working support option made the experience even more discouraging. I hope these issues can be resolved, as the app concept itself seems promising.

Almost 5 stars

I really love this program and I’ve had great results using it. Although, the workouts are just lacking. Not so much in the exercises but the pace at with they are done. It’s impossible to keep up and get a quality workout. If you slow it down it’s too slow, drops to 50%. I end up skipping them because of this. I really wish they would redo them. It would make this the best program out there in my opinion.

Great Program

I have been using RunSmart for my run training and strength training before it was an app. It is a great way to prevent injuries and get ready for an upcoming race. I love that it is a small business and open to feedback.

Superb app and program

I can’t say enough good things about this app and program that Steve Gonser and his team have created ❣️ The
personalized plans with run, strength, mobility and nutrition are excellent. Also you get a community of runners via facebook. The RS team and group provide quick responses and fixes to questions or issues you may experience!
Thanks Steve and Runsmart Team 🙌🏾

Great Training App

I’ve used around 5 different paid training platforms in the past and have used RunSmart few years ago. I recently came back to them for my recent race. For the price point, I think the app is great for what it offers for the training and flexibility in the training. I highly recommend!

Excellent Run Plans and Strength Training

I have been a RunSmart member for a couple of years now and have been injury free since implementing weekly BaseSix and Yoga workouts. I just ran a marathon after following the RunSmart training plan and successfully beat my projected goal. I highly recommend all RunSmart has to offer to keep you healthy and running for years.

Excellent programme for runners

I have been following RunSmart for years, after getting Achilles tendonitis and being unable to run for months. There is so much in the is all. Steve is very knowledgeable and approachable. He understands runners which makes a massive difference to other apps out there. The strength programmes and yoga are tailored to runners and excellent. The training plan flexible and takes into consideration your current running volume. Before RunSmart I could not run a sub 4hrs marathon (my best was 4h17) and kept on getting injured. Now I ran a 3:50 marathon while being over 50, something I thought would never happen, and I keep on getting faster. Wo where no hesitation I recommend this app to all my runners friends!

Such a great app for various levels

Such an easy app to use if you want to build a training schedule plus all components that support you, the runner. Programs for proper nutrition, strength training, yoga, running form. Great information, videos are well done too. The team is quick to respond to your questions and steer you in the right direction.

Best running app

I have been following Steve and using his app for some time and gets better every year. I am now using his tailored plan in the app to train for Tokyo. It incorporates all the needed run workouts based on my time goal, syncs with my Garmin, gives me weekly feedback, and builds in strength and runner specific yoga. The app is much easier to use now and has a number of new features. Steve’s approach of running better while staying injury free is a great one. Love it!

Consistanly helpful!

I have used the run smart app for just shy of 5 years now. After becoming a runner at 40… The combo of PT led exercises and tailorable training plans is excellent! As is their customer service support!! Looking forward to many more races!!!

RSO has saved my hiney more than once!

I love the entire suite of resources RunSmart offers. Training, strength, yoga, injury prevention, injury mgt (I’m intimately acquainted with this one), fueling and so much more. Member since 2017. RunSmart is my go to for all things running!

Awesome App

The app is great and why I came back to the RunSmart program. Very well organized for someone who likes to plan like I do. You can also edit and change things which is great also.

RunSmart A+

this program was recommended to me by a friend. I am not one that likes strength training at all, but using this program has made it more appealing to me. Additionally, the run plans are awesome and Steve is very responsive. It’s been a pleasure working with them. Lesli

Great App for runners of all abilities!

I moved away from the running group that I used to train with. While I miss them terribly and still prefer to run with an in-person training group, the Run Smart app has allowed me to set up training plans that are easy to follow, easy to adjust to my schedule while also giving me access to cross training & strength programs.
Highly recommend this app and the Run Smart Community.

Repeat offender

For the longest time, I avoided cross training which let to recurrent running injuries. I stumbled on RSO and have remained injury free since then! I cannot explain why it works, but it does! Running injuries have become a thing in the past.

Most comprehensive RUNNER Program!

The individualized training programs developed by runners who are also physical therapists are the best I’ve seen! They understand the human body and have developed appropriate cross training workouts to prevent injuries and ensure top performance. The injury protocol is also very useful. Along with the app is a great private Facebook group which also provides connection with the PTs and running community for additional support. I’ve been a member of the RunSmart community for almost 10 years and I am so happy to see all the improvements along the way! I rate it a solid 10 stars ⭐️ out of five😊

Want to PR?

My last two half marathons were both using RunSmart. I tried it last year because I was looking for a plan and it came with our Wineglass registration. It resulted in an 8 minute PR from the best half I had run prior. I have been using it ever since and have PR’d in a couple 5ks and most recently a sub 2hr half marathon. The plans really work!

Great training app

RSO is a great app for building and sticking to a training plan. The core training and other supplemental programs are especially useful, keeping you healthy and injury free so you can stay consistent in your running. And the customer support is fantastic if there’s anything you need help with.

RunSmart is a must have for any runner

I have been a RunSmart user for over 10 years and can attest to it’s effectiveness. This app offers expert advice for runners of all types and ages. I’ve had great success and achieved PR’s thanks to RunSmart. Now I use it to stay healthy as a runner heading into her 60’s.

Strong program with great training!

I have been using RunSmart for several years now. I love the versatility it allows from training for a full or half marathon to regular maintenance. Steve is very knowledgeable and provides easy to understand discussions and directions. The exercises and programs are well laid out and the videos make them easy to follow! It’s been great to have the training right at my finger tips and to be able to set up a plan the fits my schedule!
