Hi!

Is anyone else using the Runkeeper training program R4FL? I'm 25% through the program and think it's great, though I'd love to have some friends doing the same program :)

    I was looking at it, and thinking about starting when I get back from vacation. How do you like it?

    I really like it! I'm sort of (read REALLY) competitive so it gets me to push myself to my very best. It's a combination of intervals and steady jogging. The intervals really get to me. I did the "10 min fast - 5 min walk - 10 min fast" workout this morning and I was completely beat afterward.

    Conclusion: I highly recommend it :D

    hi again shapelyj! I use MapMyRun and it actually has built-in challenges that have real prizes! You might like that if you are competitive, the GNC Beat Average challenge just started recently.

    I'm using a different running program that involves intervals. I'm trying to train for a 5k so the app I'm using is specific to that. If you're competitive then you might like it! I think it's called 0-5k or something along those lines.

    I usually run around 5k so I like that Runkeeper has lots of different training plans for different kind of running :)
