User Reviews of Nike Run Club:

Nike Run Club is more than a killer run tracker. It’s curated playlists for your jog, a social network where you can show off your hard work, and a killer run tracker. We dig the cool ways to share runs and compete with friends—and the design is as sleek as a fresh pair of Nike kicks.

Huge shout out to the Nike Run Club (NRC) App. Just love it.  Very cool app and keeps track of progress and gives real time audio updates on various metrics such as time, distance and avg pace. Some of the other captured metrics include total miles, current pace, calories, cadence and the coolest of all elevation gained. This is intriguing. The app indicates so far, 126,795 ft- almost 2 times climbing up and down Mt Everest (29,032 ft) Is this true? To top it all, the fun pep quips in the app at the end of every run, from NRC head coach Bennett or coach Moe Fire. Some of my favorites : “this run is over; you are a better runner now than the one who started today’s run. That’s is the goal. Just to get a little better everyday” or “I hate to tell you- you are not only getting fit but you are getting flat out fast; keep it up”. And this one is everyone’s favorite Bennett’s quote: “Let every stride be about where you are running to and not where you are running from and you’ll end up running yourself somewhere better with every run.” Definitely a nice way to end a run. Also, the fun monthly 100K challenges- been in the top 10% among the 30-40k participants in all 12 months. The one thing I wish the app had: with all the features it displays, why not show the time (clock) as well. Will make my life easier to dial in/logon to meetings on time and outright not miss it (never missed meetings but had been late a few minutes a couple of times!! Haha!!) 

I have despised running all my life. It was never my cup of tea when it came to working out. Yet despite my disdain for running, I would occasionally go on runs in hopes of becoming more fond of the sport due to its many health benefits. Unfortunately after running half a mile I would already be out of breath and just unhappy. Now I realize that’s because I was starting out too fast and I wasn’t running with the right purpose (according to Coach Bennett on the Nike + run app, these are two common mistakes that runner can make). On July 1st of 2020 I decided to give running yet another shot, but this time I opened my Nike+ run app and did the “first run” guided run. By listening to Coach Bennett’s instructions I was able to run for twenty straight minutes without a break, which had previously been an unheard of feat in my life. Coming from a girl who was usually winded by .50 miles, I was baffled to see my screen read a distance of 1.70 miles! To some, these numbers will seem meager. But that is the beauty of running, you don’t need to compare yourself to others. It’s all about making yourself a better athlete with each run. I have already improved upon my pace and distance and it’s only the middle of July!! Anyway, all of this is to say that the Nike+run app has helped turn an activity that I have dreaded all of my life into one of my favorite things to do. Now I look forward to running because it clears my head and challenges me to push myself in a positive way!! 10/10 recommend!!

Final words:

For users who want to share their running journey with others, the app allows users to join challenges and receive cheers from friends during their run. Serious runners will also appreciate the personalized coaching programs provided by the app. For anyone who really wants to up their running game, Nike+ Run Club is a great app to have around.
