If there’s one group that knows how to move fast, it’s runners — and that’s exactly what you’ll need to do to take advantage of this deal. Strava members can earn a free 2-week Runna Premium subscription by running a 5K on Wednesday, which marks Global Running Day.
Strava is a popular fitness app that records and logs your runs, rides, hikes and other activities, including strength training. Last April, Strava acquired Runna, an AI-personalized running app, to customize training plans for different race distances and coaching for its subscribers. Strava doesn’t provide training plans, but it can log your runs, let you create your own routes, view your running stats after each run and share them with your app followers.
You can use Strava for free, but to access additional features, you would need to upgrade your membership to an individual ($80 annually), family ($140 annually for a family of four) or student subscription ($40 annually) if you’re willing to pay for the Strava and Runna combination plan, which costs $150 a year. You can also experience Runna for free, but to access it fully, you’ll need a subscription for $120 annually.
However, if you run, walk, trail run or use a wheelchair and log a 5K on Global Running Day on your Strava app, you can experience Runna free for two weeks to decide for yourself if it’s worth the investment. Strava is counting GPS, virtual and manual activities toward the challenge goal.
Apple is also participating in Global Running Day and giving Apple Watch owners the chance to earn a digital badge by logging a 5K run indoors or outdoors. This also applies if you have other third-party fitness apps that log runs and connect to your Apple Health account.
