Great app
Love this app and its compatibility with the Garmin. I am easily able to transfer my Garmin information so that my coach can quickly see my results. The layers of information about my runs has been very helpful for me as well

These high-quality workouts promote healthy, responsible, and beneficial sessions while simultaneously preventing overtraining.
Olympic Pedigree
V.O2 was built from the foundation of a scientifically-validated training methodology. Based on former Olympian, author, and legendary running coach Jack Daniels’ exercise science principles, the methodology not only benefits runners of all ages and abilities when it comes to improving their running fitness but it also serves as the best measure of running economy across a variety of runners and events, making it an ideal way to compare performances. High-school, college, Olympic and non-elite runners have all trained, ran, and succeeded with the VDOT methodology.

Almost Perfect
The app is great. Don’t get me wrong. But there are a few serious issues that almost make me consider deleting the app entirely. CURRENT ISSUES 1) Garmin runs always sync to the most recent workout on the VO2 app. This means Garmin runs will sync to the wrong workouts and there’s no way of un-syncing them or syncing them to another workout. 2) There’s no way to duplicate workouts. This is incredibly tedious and time consuming. Particularly when you consider a long run from Garmin will wrongly sync to a speed/tempo track workout on VO2 (every single time) if you don’t have another workout listed before it. 3) There’s no way to create preset workouts. I like to have a level of flexibility in my workouts depending on how I feel and what my schedule will allot for. With no preset workouts, I’ll generally create a bunch of speed/tempo workouts and put them at advance dates so I can move them to where I need them as I see fit. The major problem here is Garmin wrongly syncs to these workouts if they’re up next. SOLUTIONS 1) Allow users to un-sync wrongly synced Garmin runs and if applicable sync them to the correct workout. 2) Allow users to duplicate workouts they’ve designed instead of having to re-input all the reps and so forth every single time. 3) Allow users to create preset workouts that they can input at any point. This and the previous solution would save so much time! If you fix these issues, this will be the best run planning workout app on the market. Thank you, David
Search by note
This app is great, but it’s missing the ability to “search” notes by keywords. That would be a great added feature.
Frustrating
It worked fine for a while. Now it frequently stops uploading my workouts to the app after I complete the workout. I have to uninstall and reinstall the app then Reconnect the Apple Watch app. Now I have just tried once again to do this and now not even that is working.
Ok
Inaccurate elevation
Like Having A Personal Coach
The app is fantastic for establishing workout plans no matter what your fitness level. It’s somewhat adaptive in that you can add a race to the calendar and the program will adapt to prepare you for it. Syncs perfectly with Garmin and Coros watches to guide you on workouts. The only thing I’d like to see is an even more adaptive update that would actually increase speeds & mileage automatically based on past performance. Currently, you have to manually tell the app you’re ready to level up. Trainer Road does this very well as a cycling app, and I’d love to see V.O2 do the same. If you have a coach, the app will allow your coach to upload workouts and make changes based on your performance, which makes this app sort of a one-stop-shop for your running career. One thing I don’t really understand is why I have to mark workouts completed in the app when the app already syncs with my watch and has all the data from the workout I just completed. It already knows the workout is completed! Why isn’t this step automatic? Overall, great app, simple and easy to use.
Cool but a little confusing for beginners
Been using the app for a month and still figuring it out. Video tutorials would be helpful
good app
Good app. Splits view could use some… inspiration.
Great integration with Apple Workout App
Really appreciate that workouts are now automatically imported into the native workout app.
Decent alternative to TP
Basic but works. Really missing heart rate based workouts which is a major feature on TrainingPeaks. Otherwise it’s ok
