Despite working for a tech website for the past two years, I’m still somewhat of a technophobe when it comes to my running. Aside from my trusty Garmin, I tend to stick to old-fashioned training journals to blog how I feel after a run, and for my last four marathons, I’ve worked with a running coach to tailor a plan to my needs.
With that in mind, I jumped into the unknown training for my fifth marathon. For years I’ve written about the best running apps on the market, but I’ve never put my faith in one for a full 16 weeks. Casting my doubts aside, I downloaded Runna (available for Android and iOS) and got, well, running.
