Best Heart Rate Based Running App
I just got back into running in April of this year. Due to a variety of medical issues, last year was rough on me and I didn't do much physical activity. I was worried about anything that was too stressful on my body, so I decided on Zone 2 training. Then I found VALR and was stoked about the method they use. I signed up for the 10K Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston, SC and decided to solely use VALR as a grand experiment in Zone 2 training. Well the race was this past weekend and I got the best time I've gotten since 2013, pre-kids, 8 years younger. But not only that, the training seemed to be just about the right intensity the whole way and I was able to avoid injury, which has also been a problem for me in the past! I'm sold on the VALR method. As a side note, anytime I had any questions their support was so quick to respond. Wonderful app, caring team!
