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. ### 5/5 — Repeat offender *2024-10-16, version 1.0.45* 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. ### 5/5 — Most comprehensive RUNNER Program! *2024-10-16* 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😊 ### 5/5 — Great training app *2024-09-03, version 1.0.43* 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. ### 5/5 — RunSmart is a must have for any runner *2024-09-03, version 1.0.43* 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. ### 5/5 — Strong program with great training! *2024-07-29* 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! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-05-27, version 1.0.12* This app is one of the best apps for running. It has training plans that incorporate exercises to help keep you going strong and injury free. ### 5/5 — All you need to run smarter *2023-05-16* I really enjoy this app. It has single exercises, training plans, yoga, and exercise plans. I have completed several exercise plans like base 3 and base 6. I have completed the midfoot project and will soon complete the need for speed. It keeps me in check and allows me to safely branch out to new drills. The individual exercises have very short videos with all you need to hear and see. I am running injury free with this and making progress. ### 5/5 — Awesomeness *2023-05-15* This training app has everything & great support. The strength training includes yoga & stretching every runner needs & sometimes doesn’t know where to start. It also guides you back from injury so you don’t go out & do it again. Also the extra training sessions Midfoot & speed are wonderful. Best app & program ever. You won’t regret signing up!! Just do it!! RunSmart & strong. 💪🏼🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏽🏃🏻‍♂️ ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-05-15, version 1.0.12* I’ve been running just a few years. I’m not real young and wanted to make sure I had the strength and mobility to continue for years to come and this app helps tremendously!! Love the work outs, training programs, and support in the fb group. I’ve had a few friends sign up too and they felt the same. ### 5/5 — Best gait analysis! *2023-05-15* After being a lurker of RunSmart on FB for far too long, I threw a Hail Mary and bought the Midfoot Project and a run form analysis. Patrick was the one who looked at my videos I submitted and never has anyone given me so much thorough feedback and actual remedies to start working on immediately, I was super impressed and realized very quickly I had found my people! You see, I was always dealing with a left knee issue and shin pain on my left side only. I was doing drills and strength exercises other run coaches had given me but none of it ever corrected my left sided issues. Enter RunSmart, I have so many of their runner specific exercises memorized now and can incorporate them into other workouts I do so it’s been a game changer! I’m still not the fastest runner yet but I’m running pain free and if issues try to creep in, I am now educated on how to go back a few steps to correct things even while I am still running! I love RunSmart, I have zero regrets buying the Midfoot and Kneed for Speed programs:) ### 5/5 — Great for all runners! *2023-05-14, version 1.0.12* This app contains so much support for the new or experienced runner. Training plans are well-rounded with yoga, strength training, and injury prevention built in. Knowledgeable coaches become readily available for advice when you join. I highly recommend this app! ### 5/5 — Excellent App, Highly Recommended *2023-05-14, version 1.0.12* An excellent app for competitive & recreational runners. Easy to navigate, packed with great tips, information, exercise instructions & training plans. ### 5/5 — Great app for runners *2023-05-14, version 1.0.12* I was plagued with knee problems and turned to Run Smart after seeing some youtube reviews of their strength proigramme. Absolute game changer for me and I can't recommend this highly enough. Tailored training plan with all of the required strength sessions included, run form programmes and much more. Brilliant. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2023-05-14, version 1.0.12* I don’t know what I would do without the RSO program and this app makes it so easy to always have the workout, stretches and my own personal training plan with me at all times! Thank you for continuously improving it! ### 5/5 — RSO keeps me running! *2023-05-14* When I discovered RunSmart, I had no idea how pivotal it would be in changing my running life and how paramount it would be in keeping me on the road and injury free for years to come! Not only have the run-centric exercises added so much to my running, but the injury protocol has been key in dealing with issues that arise quickly and getting back out running strong with little or no down time! The app has made using RunSmart so easy as it’s always on the phone, ready to go! As an older runner, who is ‘newer’ to running… I can honestly say that since I have been using the RSO app, for even the strength training alone, I have not had to stop training or running for any injury…for 3 1/2 years! DPT Steve Gonser and crew really know what they are talking about and how to best help runners get stronger, faster and to keep themselves healthy and on the road (and trails) consistently! I highly recommend this app and membership program for anyone (especially annoying over 40) who wants to run strong, feel strong, and keep on running! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — Good Concept, But Too Many Technical Issues *2026-05-28* 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. ### 3/5 — top job *2023-05-13, version 1.0.12* fantastic job RunSmart . Have been a member for three years and counting ! Always adding new and improved features to the app . everything a runner needs in one place . easy to use and navigate around the app. awesome features to keep you accountable to yourself and running injury free . ### 4/5 — Almost 5 stars *2026-03-19* 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. ### 4/5 — Awesome App *2024-10-31, version 1.0.46* 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. ### 4/5 — Want to PR? *2024-10-10, version 1.0.44* 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! ### 5/5 — Great Program *2026-02-10, version 1.0.63* 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. ### 5/5 — Superb app and program *2025-07-21* 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 🙌🏾 ### 5/5 — Great Training App *2025-05-28, version 1.0.61* 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! ### 5/5 — Excellent Run Plans and Strength Training *2025-04-07* 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent programme for runners *2025-02-25, version 1.0.54* 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! ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Such a great app for various levels *2025-01-16, version 1.0.50* 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. ### 5/5 — Best running app *2025-01-14* 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! ### 5/5 — Consistanly helpful! *2024-12-03, version 1.0.47* 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!!! ### 5/5 — RSO has saved my hiney more than once! *2024-11-04, version 1.0.46* 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! ### 5/5 — RunSmart A+ *2024-10-31, version 1.0.46* 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 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
