Run Train Race vs First Gear

The RunTrainRace app provides your personal running training guide directly to your mobile device, whether you are learning "how to run" or are training for a 5k, 10k, half-marathon, marathon, or longer. RunTrainRace offers fully coached programs, where you will be guided by an experienced coach who will work directly with you, who can explain the purpose of every workout, and who will follow your progress for the duration of the training cycle. Your individualized training plan will be available in the RunTrainRace app. You will receive a training schedule built for you, based on your goals, your pace target, and your schedule. The RunTrainRace app will also include instructional workout videos, interval calculators, and additional resources for running, racing, and recovery. In measuring and assessing your progress week by week, your coach will help you work through challenges, adapt the program when necessary, and invite your feedback as you train. You can ask questions and get advice about your race goals, your race strategy, race nutrition, training and racing gear, how to avoid or deal with injuries while training, and your overall training experience. RunTrainRace coaches have trained hundreds of runners across the United States for dozens of races, from first-time half-marathoners to Boston Marathon qualifiers. The coaches are familiar with the right amount of training, proper pace strategy, and appropriate race planning for every distance and for runners of every level, and will help you succeed no matter your goal.

A running coach in your ear that says when to run and when to walk, by your live heart rate. Go above your range and your coach has you walk. When your heart is ready, you run again. Made for beginners, for anyone starting again, and for anyone who wants easy Zone 2 running without watching a screen. ZONE 2 RUNNING MADE SIMPLE Choose how the top of your heart rate range is set: First Gear's estimate, MAF, Zone 2 or your own number. Your coach handles the rest, so easy runs stay easy. A COACH THAT ADAPTS On a warm day, after a break, or the day after a run, your coach can give you more room to walk and tells you why before you start. After a few short runs, it can set a shorter goal. There are no questionnaires and no readiness score to check. ON THE WAY TO A FIRST 5K Most beginner plans run on a stopwatch. First Gear follows your heart rate instead, so a hard day means more walking, not a failed workout. YOUR EASY SCORE See how much of each run you spent inside your range. It is feedback on that run, not a fitness test. STRETCHING AFTER YOUR RUNS A short guided stretch on iPhone, about 5 or 10 minutes, after a run or any time. The moves change by the day and each one is timed, so there are no reps to count. Your coach talks you through it, with video when you're online.
