RunKeeper app gets new training plans and coaching

Popular fitness app RunKeeper has had a host of updates this week, which mean that users can now access more free training plans and coaching advice than ever before.

RunKeeper has always offered tailored advice and training programmes to paying users, but now the team behind the app has realised that because people get much better results when they have a strict plan that they have to stick to and specific advice, they’re opened up a range of new training features to all users.

In a blog post about the new training programmes Chas Wagner of RunKeeper writes:

“Whether your goal is to lose weight, complete a race of a certain distance, or do so with a specific time goal in mind, now you can follow a detailed plan from your favorite coach that will tell you what to do each day, and provide guidance in your ear as you are doing it.”

If you haven’t already tried it out yet, then you can download RunKeeper from iTunes and Google Play for free.
