Running plan by Gipis coach. Run 5K, 10K, half marathon & marathon training program + RunKeeper App Reviews

For my first two half marathons, I loosely followed the plan. I loved the speed work, but when it came to the long runs, I didnt trust it and I created my own plan for my long run days. BUT I just finished my 3rd half and followed the plan religiously. It worked! I shaved 4 minutes off my previous time, no stress or injuries and was fully prepared for race day. I did not meet the intended goal exactly, but came extremely close. Those hills killed me...

A great app for keeping me on pace. Trained for a marathon. Pushed me on my target pace and PR

What I love most about this app is how easy it is to set a running goal and understand the workouts. I only wish the training plans would reprogram if you miss a workout.

Ok so I run on a treadmill most of the time and when I got done with the workout it said I had only ran .65 miles when I had actually ran 5 miles. So its a great app but I rated it 3 stars because the calibration is so far off.

The concept of this app is spot on, and when I used it (once or twice) years ago it did what it was supposed to do. But Ive only had problems since downloading it a few days ago. Yesterday when I went to run I realized the app isnt supported on a treadmill run. What good is a running app that only works in certain conditions? Now I cant get my pacing reminders just because Im on a treadmill? And the phone wasnt sitting there - I was holding it. No excuses there. I used it while running anyway since I wanted the run recorded in the app. It counted down my time but when I ended the workout it said Id only run for 2 minutes and went .07 miles. I ran for 35 minutes. I cant seem to go back and edit it, either. Today I go into the app to check what Im supposed to do and I can see my workout but when click on it to get details it either doesnt do anything, doesnt open, or says "No Internet Connection" regardless of whether I was on wifi or LTE or "Unable to get data for this user." This app has the potential to change lives with its abilities. I love the concept. But Im on the verge of deleting it because its so frustrating.

Im training for my first marathon. This app is keeping check on my pace,which is helping me learn how to pace myself. I wish it had cross training suggestions or stretching exercises scheduled within the program to make the whole experience more of a complete training program. Nonetheless, the app is pretty good.

I enter in that I want to run a 10K and then it gives me a plan to run a half marathon at an obscene pace. Nothing lets me change it. Logout/Login, delete/reinstall....nothing. Boo!

Love love love it! I have trouble running without it. Paced me great for my 1/2 and I beat version of myself when I was much younger! The best

I am unable to stop the app after my workout is complete. The screen says pause but does not say complete. Can anyone help? I would like to see my splits and my pace after the workout as my phone is in my pocket when I am running.

Im not as experienced and I am SLOW and just trying to start slow again, this app looks great but comes preset and it doesnt allow for reset to plan your new races... My plan set for me will not allow for the new one Ive input. Plan is to delete the app and go searching for something else.

The app keeps crashing and doesnt save incomplete workouts. I keep having to restart from the beginning and wont let you move forward to where I should have been. I also dont like that you cant modify the days of week or add/subtract days as the workout progresses. I would rather have started with 1 or 2 workouts and gradually working up to 3 or 4 per week. I love the audio cues, but the tracking of the pace is often really off - itll tell me Im running 6min mile then immediately a 45min mile, so the commands can be very confusing. Great idea and concept, doesnt always work well and can be very frustrating in practice. Glad I started using another app to keep up with my race training.

I like how you can personalize time and dates and stuff, and how it responds to that by giving you specific times. My only corrections would be 1) To not constantly make me have to recreate my plan, it always deletes itself 2) To save planned runs in your calendar 3) To be more clear about what speeds to do when tracking a run, and 4) To let you personalize an end speed, or give you a range, or something like that. Otherwise, great app!

I am currently training for a half a marathon. I started my designed plan barely able to finish a mile. Now that I have been using this app for three weeks I can run 6.3 miles without stopping in 1 hour and 10 minutes. I still have a long way to go but this app has been tremendously helpful. I would highly recommend it to others.

People of all shapes and sizes run. This app doesnt recognize that. Which is a shame. Ill be using another app.

I completed my workout, how do I stop app to record my accomplishment? It shows pause or cancel workout. Help. iPhone 5s

Awesome. I an getting ready for my first half marathon!

AWESOME app! Trained me to successfully complete my first marathon!

I used this app to prepare for my first half marathon. Ive never been a runner and had no idea what to do but I felt so prepared on race day. I beat my planned time and was comfortable throughout the entire race. Id recommend this app to others, especially since its free!

Since I installed and used this app, my health and activities apps no longer work

Just installed. App keeps crashing. When I try to modify the plan it claims I dont have Internet access despite the phone being connected to my home wifi.
