The Oria take

Worth it if you run already and want to be told what to do rather than deciding each morning. The plans adapt, the watch integration means you are not reading your phone mid-run, and it is genuinely good at building toward a date. If you are not sure you will still be running in a month, start with something free.

What is Runna?

Runna writes you a running plan — 5k through to ultra — and tells you what to run each day, with the session on your watch and the results synced to Strava. It suits somebody who has been running without a plan and has stopped improving, more than somebody deciding whether to start.

What it offers

  • Plans for 5k through to ultra, built around a goal date
  • Daily sessions with intervals sent to a running watch
  • Plans adjust as your paces change
  • Syncs finished runs to Strava

What we like

  • Removes the daily decision about what to run
  • Watch-first, so the phone stays at home
  • Plans genuinely adapt rather than just counting down

Things to consider

  • No free tier at all, so the trial is the only way to judge it
  • More structure than a casual runner is likely to want

What it costs

Subscription. Free trial: Runna advertises a free trial; check the current length in the app store.

A subscription with no free tier. Runna was bought by Strava, so a Strava subscription may change what you pay — worth checking both before you sign up to either.

Pricing last checked September 2026. Apps change their plans, so check before you subscribe.

Questions people ask

Is Runna free?

No. There is a free trial and then a subscription; there is no ongoing free tier.

Do I need a running watch?

No, but it is better with one. Sessions can be sent to a watch so you are not looking at a phone during intervals.

Does Runna work with Strava?

Yes. Completed runs sync to Strava, and Strava now owns Runna, so check whether a subscription to one affects the other.

Prefer practising with other people?

An app is a good companion between sessions. These are the places in Perth doing the same thing in a room.
