Overview


Run Training is an award winning running platform for iOS and Android. Run Trainer helps and motivates users to keep running and improve their health. The app was created in 2010 for iOS only but keeps on expanding with new features and the runtrainer.com platform.

The Challenge


Run Trainer has to be usable for everyone. If you just start using a smartphone and haven’t got a history with sports. Motivating people to get up and start running is difficult but can be managed by adding a ‘personal’ coach that encourage the user and gives instructions during their training. The user needs to be able to start a training in a few taps and finish the training successfully.

The outcome


Reflection


Run Trainer is a project i’ve been working on for a long time. As the community is growing the app is getting more international attention. The ‘less is more’ mindset and user feedback is key to the success but eventually the first version was the foundation, which has been awarded for the ‘Best Sport App Award 2010’ due to it’s user friendly, functional and design. I’m proud to be part of a small development team that accomplished to create this app and keep getting positive feedback from our users.
