Runna Review: An app for runners who want a personalized running experience

Runna: One minute review

A running coach can be expensive, especially if you want them there every step of the way – so Runna’s app, which launched in 2021, is like a cheaper alternative. Personalized to your running experience, because not all of us are training for a marathon and, like me, just want to achieve a good time on a 5K, it’s a great motivational tool for getting you back into the habit, and pushing you that little bit further when you get lazy.

Setting your weekly goals, the app creates a plan to achieve your desired PB or helping you blast those miles if you’re training for something bigger. The app isn’t particularly slick-looking, but gives you the basic direction and stats you need, congratulating you on PBs, and providing you with an in-app community to chat about running. Some more personalized features would, however, be good to see in future versions.
