A loose gathering of ‘graphics’ was turned into a powerful and timely delivering design squad.

Runstastic is a great app with good features, but Strava has competitive social features to push you a bit further.In 2015 I was asked by Florian Gschwandtner to join Runtastic as Head of Design. The Android software required varies by device. This means that access to your progress isn’t always possible, and some runs don’t record a distance. The Runtastic app merged with the Adidas Running app, and this has caused one or two issues with GPS tracking and account migration. These features in the app are free, but you can upgrade to the pro plan for specific training programs. This is convenient as you aren’t able to look at your phone. While you are running, there is a voice trainer that gives you updates on your progress. You can share information with friends and create a running community within the app. The app also lets you set a goal, weekly, monthly, or yearly, so you can actively work on and track your progress.

This is great for encouragement if you have extended the distance or duration, or if you have improved your pace. During your run, and when you have completed it, you can view information such as the duration, the calories burned, the distance, and your heart rate.Īdidas Running stores the information about each of your runs, so you can build up activity over time and track your progress. The basic concept of the app is to take it with you on your run so that you can record information about your activity. Adidas Running gives you the tools to motivate yourself to run more often and provides the necessary encouragement to run further and faster using a good technique.
