There are a lot of things a running app can do, but Runna is an overachiever: it tracks your runs, guides you through interval workouts, and gives you a plan to follow to reach your race goal. It even entices you to do mobility and strength training, and it all comes with a satisfying checkbox to tick off when you’ve completed each workout. Let’s take a look at what’s inside this app and whether it’s worth the $17.99/month subscription fee.

The Runna app is available for iOS and Android and its main function is to give you a personalized training plan for your run. Runna can sync with your Garmin, Coros, Suunto or Apple Watch, or you can use it without a watch and simply “record” your run by carrying your phone in your pocket or belt.

The app is free to download, but Runna's core features all require a subscription. It costs $17.99 per month, with a one-week free trial. (If you're using a free trial, do yourself a favor and cancel the free trial immediately after signing up; it will still work for the entire week, and then you can decide whether to renew.)

Runna provides you with a training plan for your chosen goal, from 5K distances to marathon training. There are also plans for non-race goals, such as a Get Fit Plan and a Post-Injury Plan for those getting back into the swing of things. The plans all include optional strength, mobility, and Pilates workouts, and are all customized to your fitness level, time commitment, and preferences.
