Great app, but lacking some crucial features, such as the option to pause the program to account for sickness and injury, or the option to abandon a workout and start over.

I’ve had 2 out of 2 runs fail to upload…

I’ve had 2 out of 2 runs fail to upload from my Apple Watch. One of them eventually synced, but the other was recorded in Apple Health with a “1 sync pending” status that wouldn’t resolve — even after restarting the watch, phone, and toggling Bluetooth. I ended up deleting the app on my iPhone, which caused me to lose the data. I can still see it in Apple Health, but it’s extremely frustrating.

Since I’m currently on a 2-week trial, I’m unlikely to continue using the app if I can’t trust it to reliably record my runs. The app looks good with the UI but it’s failing at the simplest task

Hey John, thanks for sharing your feedback. We're really sorry to hear you've had some syncing issues and can understand how frustrating this must be! Have you reached out to our support team for assistance with this? They're available 24/7 and can help resolve this for you. They can also extend your trial so you can fully experience everything Runna has to offer. Please contact them via the in-app Support Tab or email at support@runna.com.

I would rate as zero stars if I could

I would rate as zero stars if I could! This is a complete con. I signed up on a one month free trial, found the app impossible to use so tried to cancel. Turns out it’s absolutely impossible to cancel your subscription once you have signed up, even with a deleted account they continue to charge you!

Hey Emma,

Firstly, we're very sorry to hear that you have experienced this frustration. We'd love to help with this, and the best way we can do so is via our In-app Support tab, where we can view your account information and help you directly there! If you prefer, you can reach out to us via hello@runna.com, with your account information such as the email you registered with too. With an Monthly Runna Premium membership, you'll receive access to the app, custom training plans and more! However, if you choose to cancel, you subscription should not continue and therefore no further charges should be made. As such, we're a little confused why you cannot access further.

If this relates to your account or payment method, we can look into this too and act accordingly depending on the method used! At this moment in time, we work with Apple, Android and Paddle to manage our payment and refund processes. Lastly, in the event you have requested a refund, refunds are processed these quickly and easily, but there could be a delay to this reaching your account. Please do reach out to us in-app or via email and we'll be there to help with as much as we can on our side!

Once again, apologies for your frustration and we hope to help you with this as soon as you reach out!

Great running plans and I love that it gives notifications which I find helps keep me accountable. Also the yearly subscription is quite affordable if you think about how much you're saving per month, but it is still pricey enough for me to feel like I have to use it once I've paid for it.

Disappointing success

I really really wanted to like this app and it appeared fantastic but I struggle with the app and find it extremely challenging to utilise the app and add in or adjust runs and then start the recording of the run. The support is good but not necessarily effective.
It is a real shame as I selected this app from positive reviews but it just isn’t simple to use for me and I am very sad to post this review on my perception of the app

Fantastic App for Marathon Training

I started using Runna after securing a London Marathon place last September. I tested it on a 10K and Half Marathon in November and managed to achieve a PB of 1:48—an improvement from my previous 2:10 time!

The training programmes are spot-on, varied, and adapt as you progress. I love that it syncs seamlessly with my Garmin and Strava apps. Another great feature is the integration of Pilates and strength training into your plan, helping to improve flexibility and strength while reducing the risk of injury.

I also appreciate how easily you can reorganise your weekly plan on the fly. While the app may seem pricey, I’ve found it worth every penny so far. I’ve used customer support a couple of times, and they’ve been quick to respond and very helpful.

Overall, I highly recommend Runna for anyone looking to take their training to the next level!

Game Changer

This app is an absolute game changer.

Took the free trial I then signed up for a monthly subscription I then took the full annual subscription which worked out cheaper.

Been using it 3 days a week for about 5 months now and I’ve not missed a day and not picked up an injury. Using it both on treadmill and outside.

5k time is about 3mins 30secs faster than when I started and I’m on track to beat PBs set 11 years ago.
