About Runna
Runna is a running app focused on structured training plans rather than activity logging. You pick a goal, such as a first 5K, a faster 10K, a half marathon, marathon or ultra, along with a race date and how often you can run, and it builds a plan of easy runs, tempo and interval sessions and long runs that adjusts as you go. Plans are designed by experienced coaches and include pacing guidance, plus optional strength and mobility sessions. Workouts sync to Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit and Coros, and runs connect to Strava. The app runs on iPhone and Android. Runna is a subscription with monthly or annual billing after a one-week free trial, and you only see the full plan on the annual option. It suits runners training for a specific race who would otherwise pay for a human coach or follow a static PDF plan.
Best for: Runners training for a specific race who want an adaptive, coach-designed plan.
