Run With Hal
authentic ratingRun With Hal brings Hal Higdon's training plans into an app, from 5K to advanced marathon programs. The product's strength is the methodology: users report PRs they had not seen in 10 years. The weakness is rigidity: you cannot move days around, cannot add an extra rest day, and volume does not adjust for injury. Garmin sync has been broken for months. Apple Watch is not supported at all. The paywall on entry blocks the free mode on some devices.
