Half Marathon Trainer 13.1 21K

waiting for starting off running

I'm loving this, I'm just not sure how far yet it will let me train with it being free.

terrible app for running. loved there predecessors, but this is more walking focused.

app had black screen when opening, had to uninstall and install then music selection never appeared, it kept spinning as if it were about to start but never did.

This is my go to run training app. I use it every time I get back into running or race training. it's reliable and sets attainable goals.

good program. helps me improve my stamina. run slow to run fast!

switches off sometimes. otherwise good

I bought this app because I used the free 5k one when I first started running and loved how the app worked. This one doesn't disappoint either -- until you get a new phone and they want to charge you all over again :(

First time using app. so far so good. like the narrative

I COMPLETED THE C25K SO THIS IS THE NEXT CHAPTER FOR ME (THERE IS ALSO A 10K YOU CAN DO BEFORE TOU GET HERE AND A FULL MARATHON AFTER). IT SETS YOU IN MOTION TO COMPLETE YOUR GOAL IN MANAGEABLE INCREMENTS. I HAD NEVER RUN A DAY IN MY LIFE AND THOUGJT I NEVER WOULD. ONE DAY I WAS TALKING TO SOMEONE AND DECIDED TO GIVE IT A SHOT. I AM NOT FAST. I WILL NOT WIN A RACE. BUT IN THE END, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST YOU GO, THE DESTINATION IS ALL THE SAME. YOU CAN DO IT!

i need to achieve 21 km marathon in 11 weeks . so I'll try it

it's just a demo, completely useless

Constantly crashing and starting the run from the beginning. Won't play the music from the app and music from another app won't restart after the voice over kicks in. so frustrating I can't use it at all.

I bought this app years ago. It was a great training aid. However, I got injured doing army stuff and stepped away from long-distance running. I recently re-installed it, and now it's requires a subscription.

Preparing for a Disney 10K and maybe a half marathon with granddaughters who are 45 to 50 year younger. The "Jeffing" routine is ideal....4 minute run then 1 minute walk repeat 26 times. I get about 11.5 miles in their time frame but it tells me I could do a Disney half marathon in the Disney time frame and not get picked up by the ballon ladies for being too slow!!$

I bought the pro version of this app as the 10k one I used was brilliant. This is NOT a half-marathon training app at all!! Run-walk for 12 weeks IS NOT training for a half marathon!! I have lost fitness due to this app, I cannot run a 5k anymore without stopping because of this app!! You are supposed to move away from run-walking and build up your stamina and run for longer! If this was your aim to run-walk it should be advertised as that so people do not get ripped off! I' like a refund!

v good hai y

really well designed and makes the journey enjoyable. I constantly put updates on my fitness blog. the only thing id like to see is a hint when to increase the speed during the training

Hi! noticed that my Pixel Watch only supports the 5K app. Is there something wrong with my Wear 0S, are the 10K, 13.1, and 16.5 apps not available for my watch? Thanks!

accuracy isn't great and your email below doesn't work

The app helps me set short term goals and build my cardio and leg strength

Awesome..It's absolutely fantastic. Since I started using this app , I am running very comfortably. The schedule appears very friendly & scientific. It's gradually increase your endurance. Absolutely, a great help for all runners.

Love the app. Really helps me focus.

Excellent app

I bought this app a few years ago. I recently bought a new phone and it's requiring me to buy a subscription. I can't even email the company because the email address is undeliverable. So much for customer service.

Lack of running plans

Have been using for 3 weeks. So far its been great with a slow but steady incress of intervals.

I've been using different versions of this app. I have reached 13.1 and next it will be 26.2. Great app to help you with your running goals.

Great training plan!

Awesome start

Day 1 done.

Paid for this app before Covid and loved it. However since then it has had a few problems: (a) first it had me pay for a subscription even when I paid for the app years ago and (b) it randomly started having issues and close out of my run while I was running. The first issue solved itself, but I recently changed phones and lost access again. I really found the pacing of this app and the 10k app great. But I do not want to constantly have to pay again or lose my progress when I change the music.

Great trainer

Impossible to opt out of analytics. There is a "consent manager" in the settings of the app, but choosing 'no thanks' doesn't save. Unacceptable.

Basic but brilliant, and much cheaper than alternatives.

Great

Love this app. Sogned up for Edinburgh Half Marathon in May and been using this. Was pretty much a non runner amd thia has really helped.

I love training with this app. Went from not being able to run for more than 1 minute to running a half marathon in 140 minutes nonstop.

Good!!

It's the perfect guy that if you want to train yourself to a half marathon.

First run on the books and was awesome! Great app!!

I really love Zen lab trainers. They are paced well and make it easier to reach your goals.

UPDATED REVIEW: they gave me a code to unlock my workouts and I am back to loving this app!! Since I only use the workout portion this is perfect for me and I really appreciate their support team. These workouts have really helped me to train for and successfully complete half marathons!

I purchased this app and then got a new phone. Now they want me to pay monthly. I am very upset that this happened. Now I will be unable to use the app that I purchased because I don't want to pay monthly for it.

Love it

works well, the training schedules..happy

stop adding distractions to what should be a simple app. splash screen with the meme caption font, corny voices, loading animations, subscription model when there's no real features being added related to the core promise of the app

it's been great getting me ready foe my 4th half.

this app has hands down made me love running

Mmmm poopoo

It only gives you 2 weeks of access, not the whole thing.

I like the training, but it is not available on Samsung watch. Only C25K is available. I have to bring my phone to running everytime I run. Hope it will be available sooner on watches. I already paid for the membership, but it is not worth it if I have to hold my heavy phone when training.

After using this app consistently since 2017 I took a break from running post pandemic. Now up about 15lbs I thought it was about time to fire the program back up. I have discovered that ALL Zenlabs apps are now pay walled and give you just 2-3 workouts before forcing a subscription. Do a little research, there are good alternatives that offer free programs and/or light ad support. It's really too bad, I loved the app before.

Paid for this app, used it without issue and now won't let me past week 2 and wants me to "go pro". I see this has happened other people too. Very frustrating.

I would give more stars cause I do love this app for training for the half marathon my sister and I run every year but super pissed now because I've used it no problem for the last 4 years and now its forcing me to pay a fee to go pro otherwise you can't go past the first week. Considering I paid for this app. Guess they want to lose customers now.

Requires a subscription to get full half marathon training program. App is useless after a week.

I paid for this app ages ago and now I've gone to use it I can't access it because it wants me to pay for a subscription???

I purchased this app a couple of years ago and loved it! Like others, I got a new phone and now the app wants me to buy a subscription. Not impressed...

Solid app so far, but frustrated with a few things. The app will sometimes get killed and lose my tracking progress. The biggest issue is that there's no watch support. It's weird because the C25K version of the app has watch support and this one doesn't. Please add watch support!

Take your money for purchased app then after switched it to a subscription model. They will send you a bogus code for subscription that doesn't work and claim they are "working on it" scam!! Do not buy this app! They don't stand by their word. Deserves zero stars

1st te using and it stopped working twice! Had to keep restarting and skipping to where I think it had stopped! Not what I want to be doing!

Lost access... I purchased this year's ago and used it successfully. Now that I'm ready to start training again it's asking me to purchase the pro...I don't think so. I also purchased the 10k years ago and can't use it either. Once you buy something it becomes yours ...

Paywall. Free to download but you have to pay to use.

Favorite way to run and train! My endurance and distance has multiplied and I feel so ready to run each time a press start!

I could barely walk around the block when I started, now I can do a 5k walk run no problem.

Good steady training plan

Already purchased this item. Phone broke had to upgrade. Now it says I never had this item bought

Great app, training is simple, clear and easy to follow.

This app helps keep me on target and keeps me improving

I can't just buy one app ONCE. You have to subscribe to all their apps and will be charged monthly. Totally not worth it

I loved the app but my phone got run over now they want me to pay for it again

I paid for the app, now they want me to pay more to use it. Do not recommend.

I purchased this app a while ago, but now when I log in on my new phone, they want me to pay for a subscription.... I thought when you bought the app it was yours. Obviously not! I'm not going to pay a monthly/yearly subscription fee for something that I already paid for. Now I have to find a new app to use. This makes me very grumpy!

I had previously bought this app while training for a half marathon. Now I am starting a new training program and it says I have to buy in on it again. No thanks!

1 week's worth of runs

I had a great experience with the C25K app, but unfortunately, this app requires a monthly subscription. I uninstalled it and am looking for another option.

Very disappointed. After complaining here and contacting the customer, I got the key to redeem the pro version. I followed the instruction from the Zen Lab and google accept it. But when I open the app, it still didn't let me get access to the pro version. It only let me use the trial version with the first 7 days of the training plan. I got very frustrated because it keeps encouraging me to pay the monthly subscription. I don't feel their honesty here.

My sub apparently doesn't transfer to my new phone. This used to be such a great program. I don't understand the changes (i.e., more $$$$). Uninstalling.

I upgraded this to pro, and then got a new phone and the upgrade didn't transfer. So I need to pay another £50 to get the same app I own on old phone. They also changed to a subscription model which seems like is unnecessary.

I completed my 1st 5k with the c25k. Then I decided to buy into the half marathon training app a couple of years ago to complete my first half. Now when I log in they want to charged me for a subscription.... I thought when you buy the app it's yours for life. Obviously Not😒

Ok. It is functional however the tracker tracks me different mileage and different routes when I run the exact same route day after day. I doubt that the actual mileage is correct so I would not use it as a tracker for PR's by any means which sucks because runners want to know their times and mileage. I will look for a better ap.

I really loved this app until I had to pay for monthly subscription. I could understand paying for a one time fee, but not monthly.

Unnecessary subscription model. I understand there probably music licenses to pay for but I listen to my own music. I loved the app that Zen Labs produce and would pay for a licensed for the full schedule, but I'm not comitting to a subscription service.

Great app. Helped me with 4 half marathons and now I will go for my fifth. Love the work out routine as it is not overly intense. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a challenge and is not a running lover like me.

I like the app helps me stay on target. Note the number 16 is said sixty this is very strange and a bit annoying. I wish it was free as well.

It's a good training program but not accurate at all. I just finished wk1 day3 & it says I went .05miles, took 97 steps & burnt 9.73 cals 🥴. My Garmin reads correct. If you want accuracy, go with Garmin.

Loved the app and used it for my first half marathon, but now that I got a new phone, they want to charge me a subscription fee after I purchased the app almost 2 years ago. Very disappointed. UPDATE: I emailed them to get this resolved as they recommended, and I did hear back right away. They were very kind and helpful are working to get this resolved. Will update again when resolved. UPDATE #2: Back to 5 stars. They sent me a code so that I could see every workout again! 😊

Purchased in 2016 and not showing. Sent email to developers but have yet to hear what to do.

I purchased this app a couple of years ago but had an injury and never got to use it. I re-downloaded it as I'm ready to try again and I only see one week of the training plan? I already purchased the app and now it's telling me I have to sign up for a subscription to access the content I already paid for. This is completely unacceptable. I'm very disappointed as this app came highly recommended and now it's unusable because I will not be paying for it again.

I bought the paid version hoping I could be on my way to running my second half marathon a little more prepared this time. Instead I got an absolutely useless application because I can't even change the sensitivity, or start my run because it crashes. I tried restarting and even reinstalling it several times without success. I would like my money back. I'm sticking to my already bought pro version of Runtastic. You guys want to ask me questions about my review 6 years after I posted it? Lol.

Free app, but requires a paid subscription to do the program. Super misleading.

Love the app but won't restore my purchase from a year ago

The first time I used this app it was great (probably a year and a half ago). Now, I tried to get back running again and it wants me to pay for a subscription. Even though I'd already paid for the app. Don't do it. Find another half marathon trainer.

Runners beware. I did the c25k then 10k, then without reading the reviews downloaded this and started "training" for a half marathon. I assumed it would progress to actually get me to be able to run a half marathon. I'm now 5 weeks in and my endurance is completely diminished. I'll have to start over again with a 10k app and then move on to half marathon again (using an app that is NOT this one). I understand the concept of intervals, but I can feel my endurance and fitness diminishing. So sad.

This app is just a preview with only 1 week given. Charging for the service is reasonable but failing to make this clear in the app store and the ada in the 10k app is not.

Customer service was prompt and professional

If i have to pay to use this app then I might as well download the Nike app.

Like many others, i purchased the entire bundle (5k,10k, 13.1, 26.2) and lost the ability to use the app.

Keeps crashing mid way through a session. Extremely frustrating as it prevents me making progress.

I downloaded this app based on recommendations online, and went for a subscription for the music etc. Unfortunalty the app keeps stopping after a min or so of music. Don't know why messed around with all my settings and couldn't work it out. Very frustrating so I have now deleted it.

I purchased this app in 2019 as part of a bundle. When I went to open it recently the app only allowed me to have access to week 1 of the training. I have emailed them and haven't heard anything. It would be great if someone explained why I have to purchase an app I have already bought.

I bought this app and loved it, but earlier this year I upgraded to a new phone and now it wants me to pay a subscription fee to fully access the app I already paid for. I saw other users had this same problem, so I emailed support 3 or 4 times to get it resolved. They never replied to me. Really disappointing.

Am being asked to subscribe again after changing my phone. No reply even after sending them an email

I purchased the Half marathon trainer app on my Google Play account when I had Samsung Galaxy S9. I upgraded to S10 and now the app doesn't realize that I paid already. Update. 8/20/2020: Grace has responded to my emails twice, but her suggestion for a fix still does not work. Update 8/30/2020: There was no additional communication from Zenlabs Fitness, but I decided to check the app anyway and I finally have full access again. I enjoy the program, but I have no race in sight.

Do not download. I had purchased and finished the workouts in another phone. After upgrading to a I reinstalled and started over, finished the first week and now I'm being told I need a subscription.

Didn't read the reviews until I made it a week into the app and it asked me to pay. I can't stand when companies do that. Plus reading all the reviews I'll find another half marathon training program.

I purchased this app a while back. I had to change phones and when I began using the app again this week I only got finished with week one then got a prompt to upgrade. I paid money for 13.1 so why can't I use what I paid for. I am not interested in upgrading again. How will this be resolved?

C25K and 10k changed my life. I wanted to continue with this app, however this is a subscription service not a one time purchase. I was very happy to purchase the add free versions of the previous two apps, but i feel uncomfortable about this recuring subscription model.

Do not buy this app. I purchased it on one phone, when I bought a new phone, lost access to the app. Once purchased, as on the developers website FAQ page, I will have access to the full app regardless of whether it is installed, deleted, and reinstalled. Contacted the developer as well as Googleplay and have gotten nothing. There are other half trainers I'm going to go with instead. It's a shame because I really love the C25k and 10k trainer by this developer.

This app already makes money off of collecting your info. No need for them to ask for more

Same issue as others.. Purchased this app few years ago, now it's subscription based with only 2 weeks available...what a joke

The 5 and 10k programs are great. This app is a run/walk trainer! Make that part more clear it's a big difference from just running!

Previously paid this the app but now they want to charge subscription? I completed this worked out successfully in 2018 and completed my first HM. So used it again to train for another HM event and have recommended a few of the zen lab apps to my clients. Decided to use it again as a way to recover from an injury to get back to running again, just reinstalled it... now you can only complete the first week then have to upgrade? What happened, I've bought it already? Not cool zen labs. Unistalled!

I had purchased this app previously and was using it to train for a half and now have to pay for a subscription to use what I already paid for?? Total bait and switch.

The app keeps closing during my run. It's happened 5 times now, and changing multiple settings and re-installing doesn't help :(

Previously purchased the full app, now they have changed their model to a subscription and I am unable to access what I originally purchased.

Wish you could customize beeps... I don't like words, so beeps work well but when you lose count of what run you're on (which is what I want to do) when the cooldown hits I start running again instead of stopping. I have to keep checking the phone. Wish this was on 5k and 10k too. It would be better if it was at least a double beep.

Bait and switch! I purchased this app last year, and used it for months with no problem. Now, all of a sudden, I can't get past week 2 without paying more. Don't fall for the scam. There are plenty of legitimate training apps out there. Off to find a new favorite now.

I ended up paying 5.39 for a two week trial period which is deceptive; apparently I must pay more money for the entire program. Please tell me that I am wrong because this smells of bait-and-switch. Please tell me how I get my 5.39 back if I am correct. I figured out how to get my refund but I am disappointed.

The UX has loads of really obvious bugs. - I can't seem to review my past runs, distances etc. - I have to scroll to find the next run? Seems like an unnecessarily annoying design in general. - when I leave the app during a run to open spotify, I reopen the app and it reloads the whole thing and pauses my music. - When I tap 'send feedback' it's deeplink opens my WhatsApp offering me to send the app to a friend (?!) Which is the opposite of giving get feedback - I regret paying for this app.

Stupid popups won't leave me alone. Had to end after 20 minutes and my progress was lost. Can't believe I paid for this and the crappy music.

Got a refund. This app is a walk/ run for the final half marathon 4min run/1 min run for 13 miles. Utterly ridiculous. That should be clearly specified.

App is ok, but would be nice to link with Pandora or Spotify for music most already have.

hangs fails and music no inoperable no response from developer very poor delivery no support main timer works but Zen music which cost $71 now doesn't operate very bad experience

There is no login and app glitches CONSTANTLY. I pay for Zenmusic and it never works and crashes the app despite many emails to support and attempts to fix it. Also, I have be instructed to uninstall and reinstall app, update app, etc to try to correct issues, which deletes ALL progress. Honestly, this app is beyond disappointing and not worth the $5 to download. Just invest in a timer because that is the only function that actually works properly within the app.

The app is great when it comes to tracking and your way to a marathon and the live voice that i hear through my headphones is a great feature. but i would love it if i could connect to Spotify. and i didnt like the fact that i could end my run before the given time unless i would like to loose my data. you can also not look back at your run, which sucks. and there is no visuell ui, that lets you know what you havr completed

I love that app. It made me do things that i thought are impossible. I would recommend it to anyone who would like to start running 😊

Thus app scips time, and freezes up. I can't unlock it.

Workouts are great. Music feature is poor. Always starts a the beginning of a playlist so it's the same songs over and over.

My music wont play within the app. It shows on the screen like its playing, but it doesn't. I had to go out of the app to start my music.
