Has anyone else used Runna for training plans? I'm highkey very impressed with it
i haven't. checked it out a bit and agree it looks nice.
i used the vdot adaptive trainer for my marathon last month and thought it was really good
similar idea and similar price. i chose it bc it customizes jack daniels marathon training plan, which has been around forever (and proven to be effective)
that was my hangup with runna. i wasn't clear where the training methodology was coming from
fun fact, I grew up friends with Jack Daniels' daughter
I hadn't heard of this though! Still I am less concerned with exact methodology at this stage in my running life, and also I like that you can train for anything — any distance race, just getting back into shape, etc
did you grow up in detroit?
No, Cortland NY! he coached at SUNY Cortland and taught in the PE department. They still live there now. Next to my grandfather actually lol
I never even knew he was famous until I was an adult!
whoa that is so cool
I'm kind of kicking myself nowadays for not even knowing what I had 😂
he didn't have the neighborhood kids doing lactate threshold tests?!
unfortunately for my lactate threshold, no!
His daughter wasn't a runner. I think if she had been I would have then known about him. But she is an opera singer now!
oh wow that's super cool
i'd imagine that works the lungs at least as much as running
lol yes I was going to say, good lung capacity runs in the family 😂
