Product Review: Montigo Training Plan

Disclaimer: I received an Aftershokz #262Squad Marathon Training Experience through Motigo to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews!

Training for a marathon takes a lot of time, dedication, discipline, and planning. For most of us runners that is a lot to do while still living out our lives, working a job, or even raising kids. With the stresses of life getting more demanding sometimes keeping on our training plan is hard. Sometimes the only time we have to run is early in the morning or late in the evening.

The Motigo Training app offers you the freedom to run whenever you want, with training plans and runs right at your finger tips, with training plans from 5K's, 10K's, and half and full marathons. I was given access to the Full Marathon training.

The App

Within the app once you select your training plan it has all the runs planned out for you based on the weeks. It gives you a description of the run and then during the run it coaches you on when to push harder and when to recover for each workout. It's like having your coach right in your ears while you're running.


If you have a race upcoming you can add it to your event in the app. Then you can have friends record messages for you that will play at specific, preset times during the run to give you the right push when you need it.

Even when I'm running with my Aftershokz Trekz Air I still play my music pretty loud. It really helps me focus on the run. I had concerns that I would miss hearing the messages during my runs because of my music being to loud. (It lets you play music from a separate app during the runs). However I was happy to hear that the coaching and cheers came through over my music, so I didn't miss the repeats at all.

Most of the easy runs do not come with audio so that you can focus on maintaining the easy pace, however the speed training does have the audio messages.

Pricing

You do have to buy the individual training plans, which are SO much more affordable than paying for a coach. The coolest part is that once you buy one of the plans you are able to reuse the plan as many times as you want. That alone makes it worth it!

Conclusion

In today's busy world it's hard to fit in marathon training. Motigo has made it easier than every to train with coaching and guidance, on your time. The app is super easy to navigate and keeps you on track and motivated for your runs.
