Run Less Run Faster for Negative User Reviews

✓ Not for me but might suit youI completed this years London Marathon 2019 and liked the idea of reducing to 3 runs a week in preparation for this years Dublin Marathon October 2019. For me 3 runs plus other training was excessive so I gave up the plan. I had purchased the book and paid £2,99 for the app. I am paying £1 a month for using the app, and cannot find where to cancel this subscription as it does not appear on my iTunes list. I have no way to contact the developer to cancel..... unless you tell me differently..Izzy 3 runsVersion: 2.0.1

✓ What am I missing?Ditto on other review: starts at 8 miles for half marathon? More than that; it lists the same data that is in the book but I still have to MANUALLY LOAD DATA into 2nd app like Run Keeper? Where is the "Start" button that loads this all? Run keeper at least has intervals and plans all pre built. Get me version 2..23chesterVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Don’t waste your money!!I couldn’t even use it for some minutes, when start to tap around to see what the app could do it will crash and finish! DONT BUY IT!.AfracazoVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Disappointed with predicted race paceYou enter a recent race time to get your target training and race pace. I entered a recent HM of 1:32:18. After a 4 month (16week) structured and scientific training programme my race pace is given as 1:32:08 - a mere 10 second gain! This algorithm needs to be looked at as it lets down an otherwise good app..DarolaRunsVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Seems like it's only half doneIt's nice to have the training modules on my phone. But you cannot use this App without referencing the book. For example, none of the cross-training or strength exercises are in the program -- just a reference to a page in the book! If I wanted to carry the book everywhere , I wouldn't have paid for the app!!!!!.SlowMomLawyerVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Needs More1. Need to remove references from the book. I want to use the APP so I don't have to carry the book with me. 2. Needs to incorporate features of other running APPs: timer, GPS, workout history, pace keeper thoroughly the workout. Otherwise this is just a good calculator, so that I don't have to reference the tables in the book. Works for treadmill running, but not for running outside without another APP or device..Like the book; Not the APPVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Does not include intermediate 5K planApp does not include intermediate 5K plan, which was my whole reason for purchasing it. Annoying because now I have to use the book anyway, defeating the purpose of the app. If you are starting to run again at intermediate level (or beginning - the beginner 5k is missing too!) then just stick with the book and do your own calculations..IstinaletheiaVersion: 1.1.1

✓ CrashesCrashes every time you click “more”.JdnskdornrbsjslfVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Zero sophisticationZero interactivity. Zero link to tracking. Just generates a text based training schedule. Beyond basic.AlwevaVersion: 2.0.0

✓ Keeps crashingApp keeps crashing when I hit the button (More) that I assume would let me tailor the training program to number of weeks and whatnot. Haven’t even had the opportunity to test out the app due to that flaw. Wish I could get a refund..Slk0712Version: 2.0.1

✓ AlmostOverall a good companion app to the book. It would be great if you could make comments on the runs. Also, if you could store multiple training plans so that you could plan ahead for different runs. Keep the updates coming!.Disappointed PEPID fanVersion: 1.0.5

✓ App Crashes with race changesIn attempting to change races in the app (setting different race dates, distances, etc...) the app closes/crashes every time making this app no longer usable for future races for me. Disappointing considering it worked well for the marathon a few months back..KrlancasVersion: 2.0.1

✓ HorribleApp keeps crashing given after troubleshooting. Wouldn’t recommend..Kgolden99Version: 2.0.1

✓ The half-marathon training schedule is different from the book!I already own the book, but calculating the paces for different training programs has aways been time consuming. That's why I downloaded this app. However, when I set it up for a half marathon training program, I discovered that it's different from what's in the book. It's an 18 week program in the book, but only 16 weeks in the app. That seems to be source of the problem. Week 16 in the app is the same as week 18 in the book, 15=17, and 14=16. But then, week 13 in the app is the same as week 14 in the book, 12=13, and so on until week 8 in the app, which has a different interval workout than the book's week 9, but is otherwise the same. Week 7 in the app calls for 4x1200 instead of 6. The book and app remain separated by 1 week until the app's week 3, which is similar to the book's week 3 except for a different interval workout. Weeks 2 and 1 are the same in the book and app. I don't know if these are errors, or if they represent intentional changes to the half marathon program since my edition of the book was published (2007). If they were intentional changes, it would be nice if they disclosed that up front. But as long as you don't might a slightly different training schedule, it looks like it will do the job. I just wish it would calculate the interval paces in min/mile instead of just the time to complete each interval..LA HapaVersion: 1.1.3

✓ DisappointedI just purchased the app as I’m reading the book and buying into the program and testimonials. I’ve also heard from people who believe in the program. I heard the app was a great thing to have as it tells you how to train. Well the app keeps crashing, is not supported and does not seem like it gets updates. I really hope this gets fixed. Otherwise I’d like my money back..BalanedVersion: 2.0.1

✓ No functionalityI expected more for this app. It simply repeats the same information from the tables in the book with no added value. The running program is good for training but what you are buying with this app is simply an advertisement to buy the book. Note to developer: timing and distance tracking, at a minimum, would be very helpful so you could measure your performance against the prescribed runs..Disappointed Runner 45Version: 1.0.5

✓ Not great.I have two main issues with this app. The first one is that it crashes every time I try to set it up. That is obviously the biggest of the issues. The second issue is that there’s no adjustability in the program. For a beginner there are multiple multiple 20 mile runs, which just doesn’t make sense if you are fairly new to marathon running or it’s your first one. There should be beginner intermediate and advanced plans and schedules. But there are not. I am Disappointed that I paid for this..Nonenonickname10000Version: 2.0.1

✓ Keeps freezing. Also trying no improve the in race timesI installed this half an hour ago. I have had to uninstall and reinstall multiple times already to explore it as it keeps freezing. When I have finally been able to explore it it doesn't seem to be aiming to improve my times at all. Which is surely the point of a training plan. As for the previous reviewer, it asks for my most recent race time, and then generates a 16 week training plan, which is promising to knock 13 seconds off my last half marathon time! I would hope to be reducing my time by a much greater interval than that..Ajdd74Version: 1.1.3

✓ The paces are unreasonableThe app functions well but the paces it suggests aren't feasible. You put in your latest race time and it calculates your workouts. The first week it has you running 1 min/mile (or more) faster. It doesn't get any more reasonable as the plan goes on. I wish i could return it..Choosing a nickname is dumbVersion: 1.1.3

✓ ConfusedJust uploaded this. Put in info for half marathon in April. It came back with a program that starts at 8 miles. This is def wrong esp for an inexperienced runner. I used the book for my first 5k and it worked beautifully. Want to do a 13.1 now, but no way can I begin at 8 miles without injury. I'm really disappointed..RevmadreVersion: 1.0.1

✓ CrashingNot worked properly since I’ve had new iOS. Have tried to contact developer but no luck..Still WoneVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Great content but keeps crashing!The app has great content but keeps crashing!.NyinaSamVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Will not workI opened the app and tried to set up but each time I try to go to the next step it shuts down and closes. The app is unusable. I want my money back. I’ll just stick with the book..NmayuleVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Needs to sync with my IBookIt's a great quick guide, but for the runs, it always says reference a page number in the "Run Less Run Faster" book. When I click on it, it just tries to get me to buy the book that I already have downloaded on my IPhone. It would be great if the two of them could sync with each other. Especially because the page it tells you to reference is not the same on your phone as it is in the paperback or IPad.Steve - 0Version: 1.0.3

✓ Needs moreIt would be nice to include the 5k novice and 5k intermediate programs from the book, as well as the key movements and key stretches and the strength training movements. It's the bare bones of the program, would like to see some more substance to this app..New to the programVersion: 1.1.3

✓ CrashesShould be a useful app. Unfortunately crashes every time I click on “More”. Deleted and re-downloaded but still crashes on iPhone 6 with latest iO..Docd01Version: 2.0.1

✓ Buggy. Not updated.Developer gave up on this app years ago..Mr RegentVersion: 2.0.1
