This App was designed for those runners who want a simple plan to help them place higher in their own age group at races. The initial plan is geared towards preparing for a 5K/10K/Half-Marathon race, but other race distances may be added in the future. The plan is based on information gathered from multiple sources as well as personal experience using the plan.
