lolofit Does it Again - 13.1 and 26.2 Style!

YAY! I'm sooo excited for my fellow runners with iPhones who are app geeks like me! I found out last night that the makers of the C25K and C210K app that I used when I first began running, have FINALLY completed their Half Marathon and Full Marathon (26.2 coming soon) running apps, again using the Jeff Galloway method. These new apps come from my favorite developers at lolofit. I honestly have to say that they create some absolutely fabulous training programs that allow you to customize to your liking. Whether you are a first timer or if you are a seasoned runner looking to improve on your race finish time and achieve that personal record (PR) you've been seeking. I also love how they utilize their Beat-Sync technology to change the tempo of the music in your playlist to match your pace and the customized run/walk/run ratio of your workout. However, for those of us who no longer require that training method, you have the option to eliminate the walking portion in it's entirety. This is offered in their other training programs as well. How cool is that?!  There are no other apps out there that allow you to do this. At least none that I know of.


For those looking to run their first Half Marathon, the app has a 17-week program. For my fellow vets of the 13.1, there is a 15-week speed training program available for us. Newbies to the full marathon start off with a 30-week program and then can progress to the 27-week speed training session. And like any other training program out there, you can skip ahead and begin at whichever week best suits your current running ability. You can perform this within the app itself. Note: Anyone familiar with Jeff Galloway's training will know that he uses a 3-4 day per week running program. If you desire additional mileage and/or training days, I suggest using the app as a supplement. 

I know I haven't covered everything about the apps, but here are some key highlights provided by lolofit and links to each program for more detailed information:

• Interactive coaching advice and encouragement by Jeff Galloway while you run.
• Includes periodic Magic Mile Test to measure your progress and dial in your pace.
• The time goal program includes Cadence Drills, Acceleration Gliders, and Speed Interval Training sessions to improve your form as you condition your body.
• Half point indicator to let you know when to turn around.
• Includes GPS tracking on supported devices for FREE.
• Works outside or on a treadmill.
• Completely interactive. Change your workout at anytime and your coach Jeff Galloway - and your music - will respond!
• Bonus Content: Download 15 tracks of high-energy fitness music for FREE (they've had some great techno in the past, but you can add your own playlist if you aren't into that genre).

There are also other apps available for cross training as well. Check these out @ http://lolofit.com/apps


PLEASE NOTE: These are paid apps, but well worth the price they have listed (the Half Marathon app is $14.99). There are a lot of free training programs out there that can probably give you what you are looking for, but I do not regret any purchase that I have made in the past for one of lolofit's programs. The developers constantly provide updates and they do listen to their users.  Also, they are great about offering deep discounts for their new apps and at various times throughout the year for their older ones--sometimes for FREE. If you aren't ready to purchase the new apps for the full price, just keep checking in via the Apple App Store or on their Facebook page @ https://www.facebook.com/lolofit for the special pricing offer. 


Happy Running!
