Ratings and reviews

Visually looks good, but the app is extremely limited in functionality: if you don't run one of their very specific distances, then it won't even let you finish set up (10k is the smallest distance, even on imperial settings). Additionally, I had it crash 5 times before I even got to the part of the set up where I was forced to select a distance to train for. I was hoping to use this to perfect my 5k time or to train for the 1.5mile sprint I am tested on yearly, but that is not possible.

I'd been training on a marathon plan I bought from another YouTuber. I didn't like their plan, as it was light on volume. So I switched, and just finished the evaluation phase, and I'm underwhelmed. I'm slow, but my long runs peak (week 16/19) at 17km. I'd expect a 17 mi long run! It claims to dynamically adjust my plan as it goes on, so I'm planning on adding volume beyond what is recommended, hoping the plan catches up. Speed sessions look fun though.

For a free app the variety and intensity of session seemed pretty good. I used it to pace a sub 45 10k PB successfully so can't complain about results. I like that you could see all future sessions but they would adapt based on feedback. Exporting sessions to Garmin works great but can't comment for other fitness watch brands.
