Ratings and Reviews
Never thought it’d be possible
Now if you had told me I’d be able to run a 5k after 8 weeks I’d have laughed in your face. And two days ago I still didn’t think it was possible. I don’t know what happens on week 8 of training but something within you just unlocks and you’re suddenly able to run?? This is coming from a girl that walked every single mile run in gym class… I’m not kidding. Never in my LIFE have I been able to run a mile so when I finally did it that first run in week 8, I told myself that even if I don’t hit the 5k at the end I should be supremely proud of myself and I was!!! But then that second run in week 8 I did 1.5 miles without stopping and today I did a 5k… was it fast?? Absolutely not lol but considering two days ago I didn’t even think I could do it??? I’m so so impressed with this app !! Would recommend even for non runners who want to get into running, they really do start you slow and you’ll probably end up surprising yourself!!
Good app, has some problems
This app is exactly what I needed to get me running again. The story isn’t /really/ a story as it is with the regular zombies, run app, but it’s enough to keep me engaged and make me want to keep going. It does crash semi regularly though, especially with the run tracker set to “constant” and there’s no way to start back up where you left off after that, so just keep that in mind.
Update:
It has crashed 4 out of the last 5 times I’ve used it. I think I’m beginning to figure out what makes it crash but it’s suuuuuuuper irritating. If you’re like me and you’re doing this in part because you like getting the little “well done!” notices and stamps at the end DO NOT USE THIS APP; it’s causing me a lot of stress and making me want to give up entirely. For less of a chance of it crashing turn on step tracking, keep your screen on, and do Not exit the app at any time during the workout. That includes pulling down the shortcuts screen. It might still crash even then, but it will more likely to not. Good luck.
I love this app but y’all gotta fix these issues
I have used this app on and off since it first came out. I never completed the entire training (but that’s a me thing not a you thing). BUT my sister and I decided to start training together (2 workouts apart, 1 workout meeting at the park between us.)we both have iPhones…she finished the first workout and the app crashed as she was opening it to complete her workout. I was on my second workout when I went to reopen the app to complete my workout and the app crashed. In both instances our workouts were lost as you can imagine is quite discouraging especially when you’re first starting out. If you check the apps known issues it says that the app crashes near the ends of runs if you have many run logs saved WELP, I had *one* log saved and in my sisters case, she had ZERO. Please fix this issue! It’s so discouraging. I want to be able to keep using this app for training!
