It seems odd to me but good downloadable training schedules are really hard to come by Over the years Ive spent hours putting training schedules into Outlook so I could sync with the calendar on my phone the only calendar I ever look at This was expensive for an iPhone app but well worth it as a time saver alone I love the journal feature which allows you to add notes about the weather running terrain and even how you felt during the run The best scheduler Ive found

I have used the app to train for multiple marathons I use it to make sure my training is on track for success I like the ability to enter treadmill details as well as the pedometer Great App For Your First or 51st Marathon

This is a great app to train with I loved keeping a log with every run But 3 days ago the app freaked out and stopped working and I lost about 12 weeks of training logs I had to reinstall it Im hoping it holds out this time until the Chicago marathon thank you Hal for the inspiring words Overall great app but

Sometimes I run on a treadmill The only way to track and log a run is to do so via GPS I would like to be able to enter a run manually To be able to enter my time and distance for tracking purposes The app is useful as a countdown to race day but unfortunately it has this one big flaw I still like it but please add this capability I would give 35 stars if I could now but 5 if the capability was added Needs ability to manually enter a work out

I started this program a few weeks ago and have been thrilled with this app Although the motivational comments may be distracting while running chatting with a partner they break up the monotony of solo running The milage updates allow me to run unfamiliar routes without constantly checking my gps Each run is mapped and recorded so I can remember and return to favorite routes The only improvement Id like to see is the ability to keep seperate playlists in the music library so I dont get tired of the same songs and change up genres between workouts Great app Super app but folders in playlist please

I have the latest version of the ipod touch and in itunes on the app section it says all ipod touch iphone apps this appliction is not compatible with any ipod touches i wasted 10 bucks on an app that i though would have been useful to meThanks Apple not compatible

This app does not adjust to real life Parents cant always do the training on certain days they have to adjust to their schedules and kids schedules The app doesnt allow for adjustments Nor does it allow you to plug in your own numbers You pretty much have to carry your phone instead of a Garman to run so you can keep record Stupid Unrealistic

Love that this app structures and keeps track if my training Very helpful and motivating Like the idea of the inspirational quotes that Hal reads throughout the run however many seem to be about facing failure coping with failure as a runner While I understand that when training for a race a person may need to face the fact that they could fail I think that more positive and encouraging quotes would be more inspiring to hear while running You can turn off the quotes if you wish I just feel like there is so much potential in embedding quotes in this app and that runners would be better served by hearing mostly positive ones as they train Love the app but why all the failure quotes

This would get 5 of 5 if you could change the race to a Saturday or Sunday an not just Sunday My race is on a Saturday please fix this and the half marathon app Thanks Whats with the Sunday only races

Ive been using it to train for my first marathon which is coming up in 2 weeks This app has everything I could possibly need The mapping function which lets you see your permile pace is my favorite part I would highly recommend this app and training plan to any novice marathoner This app is superb

I love this app It is so easy to use I just have a hard time hearing the quotes I dont mind the failure quotes because they motivate me Great App

I used this to train for my first marathon The training advice and info was great but I used runtastic pro for during my run It gives more info more frequent in my ear during the run The user interface at runtastic is better too Only problem is runtastic has no training program If Hal had his training program on runtastics application ahhhh perfection Needs fusion

I found this APP to be very helpful with my first marathon training at age 56 who thought I would do a marathon and I did it under 5 hours love the APP First Marathon

Ive used Hals training programs before and really like them I like that this is a training specific app and not just an app to log runs However as with every running app I have used the longer the distance ran the more inaccurate it is This has more to do with the GPS in the phones than with the apps It also uses a lot of battery life But again overall this is a very good app The tips are great and i like all of the features Overall pretty good

Complete waste of money Once I purchased the app I opened it up and realized I got screwed Complete waste Feel cheated

Very expensive for an app has multiple bugs no calendar view for the plan no personalization no integration with other calendars Very inconvenient to use There are many apps to track your running no special benefit to this one except for Higdons name Dont buy it Not worth it

Any notifications or texts make the mile counter stop Time keeps going though Had to stop and restart my long run and it did not count it as completed Love appplease help Freezing up

Wish I could give it negative five stars save your money Bookmark Higdon on your phone browser or print the training schedule and tape it to your fridge This app has sucked the joy out of tracking my training progress Hope I can get a refund I cant get back the hours of my life Ive wasted trying to reset the journal which inexplicably scrambled Worst app ever

Too many ads App is good concept but it shuts down when you look at the graph and there are way too many ads For the price this should offer multiple training programs Novice novice 2 etc so you could build up your running programs Paying this much for one equals buyers remorse Lots of ads bugs and only one training option

Id like it to do auto pause and restart I run in the city and have to wait at several crosswalks Sometimes I forget to pause or restart the program Good but

Support is great I emailed to try and resolve the entering of manual runs You can do it its just not totally user friendly Cant log manual runs

I love everything about this app EXCEPT that it only allows my race dates to fall on Sunday I just signed up for the Savannah Rock N Roll which will be on a Saturday When I change the the race date to reflect November 5th Saturday it automatically goes back to Nov 6th on its own Is there a place where I can change the plan to reflect the right day And I do my long runs on Sat anywayhow do i fix the weekly training days to fit my lifestyle and work schedule appropriately Thanks HELP

I really like this app Second time using it for training Helps a newbie like me stay the course or road Very Helpful

So annoying Just wrote a review that was deleted because my nickname was already taken Anyway Ive run 4 halfs and a full Im not a fan of the design and app seems very limited in what it offers Disappointing for 10 Id like a refund Save your 10

Ive used Hal Higdons program every time Ive trained for a marathon since 2003 This will be my sixth race this June using his training This will be the first one Ive trained for using the app and it works exactly as advertised I went from struggling to run 2 miles to finishing my first marathon in 345 over an 18 week period when I have previously used this program Its a novice program so if you want to incorporate sprints and hill work look online for his intermediate and advanced programs online Also be flexible with your workout schedule If you know you race is on a Sunday incorporate an extra rest day to lengthen the program by one day Too easy Excellent program

The main thing I like about this app is I enter the marathon date and it schedules out all my runs so I dont have to write anything out on the calendar anymore Otherwise it was disappointing and frustrating to use The gps was often off by a mile or so the recorded tips got redundant after a while and I could rarely get it to post my runs to Facebook I ran a marathon a couple weeks ago and thought it would have some interesting or unique things to say for the race but it was just the same old stuff like any other training run and it was over 2 miles off with the mileage I wont bother using it anymore during runs but will use the calendar Review

If youre looking for a training program to run marathon there are a lot of free sources for calendars that lay out how many miles you need to run when over a 1620 week schedule Try Runners World website I thought this would be a more customizable version of that But all it is basically is a calendaring function laid on top of a lousy UI that uses GPS to track your runs RunKeeper ISmoothRun are all much better apps And the marathon calendaring function basically just asks for the date of the marathon and then plugs in mileage for dates 20 weeks prior What if you need to prepare in 16 weeks What if youve got a half marathon in the middle This is from what I can tell just a vehicle for inapp subscription services for garbage Just stay away ISmoothRun has far more features and your own calendar can give you the rest Dont Waste Your Money

This app helped me so much on my first marathon last year 2013 Boston Marathon running for the charity Cops for kids with cancer I am using it this year again I love the updates Awesome App

Dont like that it makes u start on a Monday I wish it allowed u to start on the day of the week u choose change around the days that u run a certain mileage so it fits an individuals schedule Big Draw back

Ive used phone apps for training from 5k and up This is by far my least favorite of the bunch First the iphone isnt accurate enough for marathon training Today my phone tracked my run at 1683 miles and my garmin measured 1602 Second the inspirational quotes throughout the run do nothing for me Usually I cant even hear them over my music Third Ive had my app lose a few runs due to using my phone midrun I can probably override the mileage but I havent checked Finally it seems like a waste of time to have to manually log rest days Maybe they want you to read the daily messages Those do nothing for me I love the running plan and Ill gladly give Hal a few dollars for developing it but I suggest you simply print it off the internet and use it with a garmin Dont waste your money

Have been using this app for a couple of weeks I really like it I find it easy to use The training is broken up in small chunks not too slow challenging but not so hard where I have given up I am confident I will be able to finish my 1st marathon Great app

Excellent app Very helpful in preparing and great for tracking data Review

This app is great for keeping you in your training plan It is easy to use and understand and the distance progression has been good so far The distance only seems to be off a little bit but it wont impact your training at all I love the map feature the graphs and more importantly the ability to easily make journal entries right after your runs Well done Mr Higdon and team Solid app

Im using this app to train for my first marathon and it is great I followed Hal Higdons training program for my first mini marathon last year and the whole experience was awesome I highly recommend this app to anyone First marathon

I would love to hear my pace and my distance like RunKeeper App does Please add that feature to this App and would be perfect And also DISTANCE is not accurate which is BiG problem if you want to have a good training Distance not accurate needs improvement

I love this app I have used it for my first marathon and everything went great on race day except one little thing I accidentally touched the done button and it shut off I had to restart the app which of course is now giving faulty info on pace miles etc It needs a cover screen that allows for music controls but forces a more deliberate action to pause or stop the current run This has happens several times during training too Something Missing

Paid too much for an app that just gives you ads and wants you to make in app purchases The app itself is okay but there definitely needs to be some tuneups Wish I could get my money back Dont Waste Your Money

This is my first time training for a marathon and so far Im doing great Love this app First time marathon

Distances displayed and recorded are exactly double reality Makes it worthless Also would be nice to record mile splits and more vocal feedback during runs Highly innacurate

I agree with the other reviewer This app would be perfect if it would allow the weekend long run days to be either Saturday my preferred long run day or Sunday Otherwise I am very pleased with this app and the sync capability with Training Peaks is a nice extra Thanks Coach Higdon Great App

I really like the app And Ive trained with this before but at times it has messed up my time and distance For instance Hal or the new guy will say I have ran a mile and I may have only gone a 12 mile its very frustrating If they can get that right Ill be a super happy marathoner have i really gone that far

I like using this app with all the features it has However this Saturday on my 10 mile run at mile 3 the rate this app feature popped up on my screen without my knowing and froze the app I noticed it at mile 5 and had no data from mile 35 Had to start over for the run and now have 2 entries for that day My running partner had the exact thing happen to her on our 9 mile run the precious weekend I am undecided if I like this app or not due to the bugs glad I have a garmin for extra backup Unfortunately for me I didnt have it on this particular run Hoping there is an update soon or something so no more runs are interrupted Undecided

I am so glad this is available I have been using the online schedule since the first of May hoping an app would come out I only have one suggestion that there is an onoff switch for the Gps I find that after I run the gps is still activated and thus drains the battery Is there some way that the gps can only be activated during the running function v whenever the app is being used Great App

Zero to champ One month in and its getting better every day Radical

I loved this app for the first two monthsit worked perfect But then my music started turning off and onfast forwarding etc Then my SIRI started activating constantly during my run very frustrating I thought it was the phone and even went as far as exchanging my phone with Apple Now it is happening again I can only think it is the Higdon program because it only happens when I run Please fix the bug Great but messes up my tunes

So glad I chose this training app to help me prepare for my first marathon Been using it for just over 3 months and cant imagine doing this without Hal in my ear I every 10 minutes Great app

Just finished my first marathon today using this app I would say that I felt well prepared by this program Just Finished my 1st Marathon

Great translation of Hal Higdons training program on a very accessible platform Accurate and easy to use Great training tool

I cant choose a start date thats not Monday or a race date thats not Saturday or Sunday This makes it difficult to use in other parts of the world I would request my money back if I could Not impressed
