The suggested paces it calculated for me were more on the conservative side but I didn't mind this and ran faster if it kept the run the same zone. The free version of the program was more than enough and successful for two races I ran (half and marathon). I beat my goal times by several minues. For me, I like the simplicity of the app. "Hal Says" is always a good read too!

I used this app for about 2 years now to train for a marathon, but it's no longer working. it won't save my runs or find them from Garmin Connect. I've contacted customer support, and they only send out automated responding type emails asking if the issue has been resolved. I've paid for this app but now find it a waste of my money and time because who wants to manually enter times and distance every day. I am going to delete this app once and for all.

Love the idea of this app, but the paid version is so poorly programmed. Terrible pacing. Based on all peer-reviewed academic HR research, this algorithm errs on the side of too fast, which is always a good way to get injured. In fact, all paces are too fast, even with accurate, very recent race times input. I thought I might be nuts but Redittors had same experience. Base run pace is overtraining guaranteed. The auto adjustments to the plan allow no rest if you are ill and miss runs.

Nicely executes basic function of suggested training calendar based on race date and rest days! "Hal" is a little preachy and I've hit a couple frozen app (infinite beachball) snags but I'm very happy with it so far and continue to be impressed by extra flourishes (connect with Garmin, etc.) I'll come back and update if I "run" into any issues with the training plan.

Pretty simplistic. It's helpful in that you get a workout assignment every morning so you don't need to think. But the algorithm serving up the assignments is far too simple, not taking altitude, elevation gain, heart rate, age, illness, injury or anything really except self reported difficulty of the run, into account. You can't swap assignments day-to-day if necessary without messing up your score.
