adidas Running review

adidas Running, formerly Runtastic, is a free all-round tracker with a rewards angle. The US App Store lists it as free with no in-app purchases. It records running, walking, cycling, swimming and more than 90 other sports with GPS, and shows distance, pace, time and calories as you go. Personalized training plans and voice coaching guide workouts, while global challenges and virtual races provide motivation. Activity earns rewards tied to adidas experiences and products. adidas says 70 million people use the app. It syncs with wearable devices and the Apple Watch. The trade-off is depth: the plans are less detailed than Runna's adaptive plans or Nike Run Club's Guided Runs, and the app names fewer partner integrations than Strava. For runners who also walk, ride and swim and want one free log with challenges, it covers the basics well.
