couldn't have run it without it!! couldn't have run it without it!!This is the first review I have ever written for any product, but I felt the need to highly praise this app. I went from not having run in over two years and never having run over 5 miles total to running an entire marathon without stopping with a time of 4 hours and 27 minutes! If you follow the program you will be able to run the marathon! I skipped probably 5 or 6 of the long runs and took a two week vacation during the middle of training and still was fine! This program works and really isn't that large of time commitment! But this app!!

Great training app Great training appI thought so should write a review because I almost didn't buy this due to lack of reviews. Hal Higdon's plan have been used successfully by thousands of runners over the years. BF makes a great training app. It's worth the $10 for me to track everything automatically in the journal with the plan. Definitely worth the money.

Pretty good trainer Pretty good trainerI liked his book but was skeptical about the price and the lack of reviews. App is better than I was expecting. GPS works flawlessly so far (after 1 week) and does not seem hog phone resources or battery. Text instructions are clear and straight forward. This thing DOES talk a lot. I was afraid it would be cheesy or annoying like some other trainers I've tried and it IS a little cheesy, but when Mr Higdon came on the first time to tell me I only had 500 feet left I found myself smiling and sprinting the last of it. But, if talk-y isn't for you then this app might not be. App includes options for saving each run with calories burned etc. It does lightly prod you to subscribe for an unnecessary seeming pay training website and it's not clear what it's doing with your GPS data when you aren't running, but it does offer the option to turn off the GPS from within the app. Only clear improvement I can think of would be integration of a pace calculator so you don't have to find one on a the web before your first pace run. Overall I'd rate this a 4+ star app. May change my rating to a 5 in the future if it keeps working so well.

Data doesn't get backed up Data doesn't get backed upI bought the software 4 months ago and have been using it religiously to train for my first marathon. Last week my iPhone died and when I restored it I noticed all my runs (80 runs) disappeared. I contacted support and they said data doesn't get backed up. Obviously whoever designed the software never ran before otherwise they would have been displaying in BIG BOLD letters that there's no backup. How disappointing!

It won't shut up It won't shut upThis thing yaps and talks and goes on for like 3 min and the off and on EVEN with all the audio cues turned OFF. I bought it for the daily training distances and I can see that's all it's worth! ismoothRun is by far the best running program as you can program your distance and pace or program speed work and on and on. Plus the online training lists Monday as you rest day and this makes Monday the start of your mileage for the week which completely does not match his whole concept of training to rest on Monday and no way to change start dates in the program. How hard can it be to program that - not hard at all. Oh well. It great for the schedule but $10 for a schedule is steep.
