Poorly written
I want to like this app, but it is very poorly written as an iOS app. Frustrating to use and very finicky, it’s not what I’m used to on this platform. Runna provides a much better experience.
Extremely annoying
I really wanted to love this app, but it kept pushing extremely slow and short runs. If you’re running faster or longer, it makes future runs even shorter and slower, as if to punish you. It took me six weeks of patience until it finally started giving me normal runs- then I did a 10 km run in a mountainous area (so my heart rate was a bit higher…) and it immediately went back to the 15 min runs at 9 min/ km. I’m sick of it and I’m switching to another app.

Terrible
If you are not an elite runner, then just forget about this app it will have you do ridiculously slow runs that are barely considered walking for months and months on end don’t believe into all of the artificial intelligence nonsense mentioned in the description. it is extremely bad, I wasted months with this app.If you ask their customer service for help, they will just give you a long copy and pasted paragraph about why those slow runs are helpful but trust me those runs are so slow you are barely walking. If you think that will help you improve your running then sure waste your money and time with this app.

Très satisfait
C’est une AI qui m’a conseillé cette appli en fonction de mes critères. Mes premières sorties de 9 minutes ont failli me faire arrêter. Mais je suis abonné et jamais je ne me suis senti aussi bien alors que je cours depuis 15 ans. Je progresse idéalement et on sent que l’AI s’adapte parfaitement : bluffant!

Not worth the money
Super disappointed with the free trial of this app. Training for a 5km, the algorithm consistently gave me slow economy runs that made my training much less enjoyable. Most of these sessions were extremely short, only 9-10mins, which seems completely pointless. Won’t be paying for this app, it’s not worth the money.

Not for me
I simply didn’t feel the plan was responding to my efforts, and with a 10k race approaching I just abandoned it and went back to my regular intervals, long runs, etc. in a way that felt right to me. Maybe I should have trusted it but I don’t think it was preparing me well enough for my race goal, and I didn’t want to take the risk. I won’t be continuing with my subscription.

Fantastic
Love how it builds a plan, specific to you, using your data. Creating a plan with a lot of variety that fits to fit into your schedule. A big advantage is you can have multiple goals at once. For example, having your primary goal as a marathon then add in a secondary goal to run a half during your training and the plan adapts. The team behind the app always respond well to feedback or questions about it.

“Downgraded” workouts
I actually really enjoy the app and interface, however after my free trial of premium was finished I decided to stick with the free plan.
I began to receive notifications that my workouts were “downgraded” because I wasn’t a paid member.
Now I understand reducing features for unpaid members, but I don’t understand reducing training. That leads me to believe that I will receive less productive training if I don’t pay, and thus there are other free apps that you don’t lose training quality for.
Great app, if you pay, reduced training if you don’t.

Awesome Training App
I’ve been using TrainAsOne consistently for a year now (even though I’ve had the app for a few years.)
It took me a bit to fully trust in the app. Once I committed, within a few weeks I began to see how the workouts were coming together. As it gathers your running metrics and adaptations, it really begins to come together. I love the features and control over the program regarding how it interacts with me.
I am extremely happy; the app has become extremely accurate at predicting my race times.
Looking forward to more PB’s in the future.

Good so far!
I haven’t had the app too long (few weeks) but I liked that I could make a half marathon plan further out than what other apps offer. Some bugs with my garmin watch and tempo runs (messages saying I’m running to slow or too fast when it’s the opposite), but not a big deal. Excited to see new updates, so far this app is promising!

Not usable for Couch to 5k on Apple Watch
Love the concept and flexibility but didn‘t get chance to test this in practice with my new Apple Watch 9.
I connected Train As One to my Apple Watch using Watchletic, which works beautfully, and the Watchletic interface is great.
HOWEVER: The „Stand and Relax“ intervals that are a mandatory part of some runs do not work: the watch goes onto „auto pause“ - even if the auto pause feature is switched off. So the timer stops running. Sure, I can walk slowly, but that would skew the readings. Or I could use the phone app and just work with the audio cues, but I specifically want to see the progress on my watch.
This is an issue with the way Apple Watch recognizes workouts (no movement = forced pause), and not a problem caused by Train As One. But because the Stand/Relax phase is integrated into the workout and apparently important for the calculations, the app is unusable - at least in this setup I tried (Watchletic was one of the options listed by Train As One to connect to Apple Watch)..

Set a PB
Hi got a half Mara PB taking off more than a minute from my prior best. I can run with a friend, skip a run or just run faster for the fun of it and this plan will work around it. I’ve not had an injury problem and I don’t feel perpetually sore or tired. There is assessment runs that need to be done which can be demanding and it can schedule multiple short runs at the start but once it settles down it handles variability very well.
I find it works best if you give the plan as few constraints as possible.

Hope to edit running distance
Is there anyway to edit distance data for a run imported from Garmin Connect? I did a treadmill run, had to calibrate the distance through my watch at the end the work out, and trainasone app still has the incorrect pacing which is of by around 5 mins/mile.
Great plans
I’ve always struggled to truly get into running and never enjoyed the standard plans where it feels as though one missed session is a catastrophe. With this, the plan tailors to your previous activity and feels spot on.
My only suggestion would be to have a text explanation of the week ahead, changes and a weekly summary of your activity

Too Much Behind Paywall
After Nike removed their custom training plans, I was looking for an alternative. This seemed like a good option, but it’s worthless unless you pay (and not great even then). The kicker is putting the audio prompts for the different pan steps behind the premium paywall. I shouldn’t have to keep pulling out my phone to know when to move on. The pace tracker is spotty at best and way overestimated how fast I was moving until after it was over. There are better options out there.

Great training app
This app is fantastic for structuring training in an intelligent way taking into consideration past activities and future plans to create a training plan that evolves with your fitness
Terrible AI
I’ve been using the trainer for 3 months now. Working hard, doing things I’ve never done. And the metrics for goal, speed, endurance all go down, down, down. And the program gives me completely unachievable runs. Leaves me feeling demotivated and like I’m underachieving when I’m working as hard as I’ve ever worked. This app makes me want to give up on running. Not for beginner/intermediate. If you want to goal yourself against world class athletes, then that’s the target audience for this app.

Eine App, die im Grunde konkurrenzlos ist.
Die App funktioniert wirklich wunderbar, bin bislang auf keine Probleme gestoßen. Sobald man die Assessment-Läufe absolviert hat, bekommt man seinen angepassten Plan, auch in Abstimmung mit allen persönlichen Präferenzen (minimale und maximale Laufminuten pro Wochentag, maximale Läufe hintereinander ohne Pausentag, an welchen Wochentagen man überhaupt Zeit hat, was das eigene Ziel ist samt Wettkampf-Pace, Workouts pro Woche etc.). Der Plan wird auch kontinuierlich angepasst, immer in Abhängigkeit von der eigenen Leistung im Training, sodass auch auf Veränderungen reagiert wird. Trainingseinheiten werden auch direkt zu Garmin exportiert. Dabei ist der Preis ebenfalls nicht sonderlich hoch. Lohnt sich meiner Meinung nach deutlich mehr, als teures Geld in einen 0815-Plan der nur 12 Wochen geht zu investieren und kaum bis gar nicht auf einen individuell abgestimmt ist.

Good app, Needs More Intergration
I like the app so far after my first run, it just needs better integration with other apps like Strava and Apple Watch.
Reactive training algorithm that works
I have been using TrainAsONE for 3 months or so after recovering from an injury. Once the program had assessed my running correctly (analysis from my history didn’t seem to work) the programme suggested worked well, always just pushing me enough to improve a bit. I don’t fall for the artificial intelligence guff, but it is a very clever algorithm with only a few quirks when you are starting out but be warned, it will never replace a real life trainer.
