My new coach

**Update after re-reading myself: Although it may appear so given my raving review, I am NOT associated in any way with Lolo. Just to make thongs clear.**
I just enrolled for a marathon, scheduled to take place in May, 2013. Jeff Galloways training method seemed appropriate on the long run (pun intended), so I started looking at Lolos Marathon app, but found it a bit pricey, for something I knew nothing about, appwise.
After writing to Lolos team, and many emails back and forth, I followed Chris recommendation and bought the 10K app.
I just love it.
Galloways tips get in my ears right on time, not too often, not too rarely, and his voice is actually quite soothing, not annoying like I feared. Getting a real voice telling me when to start running, instead of a computerized one, is a nice change.
If you know Galloway and like his training method, youll find exactly what youre looking for in terms of a training program. If you dont like the run-walk-run method, you can still enjoy this app, since there is an option to set your pace at “Just run!”, and even one to shut up Galloway himself, while still benefiting from the other features of the app.
And the music... Wow. Having my songs accelerate and still sound like the real thing when I run, and decelerate when I walk, still sounding just perfect, is simply amazing, and very stimulating. That alone is worth $3.99.
Perfect? Nothing is. The interface takes a few minutes to get used to, and the app doesnt (yet) support my Wahoo sensors (hence a missing star).
Some people have complained about the music starting when the app launches, but I know a new release is coming soon, and that this will be changed, so Ill not complain about this small issue, only mentionning it here to show that Lolo listens to their customers, and THAT is a nice thing (and too rare in the app world).
After my first tryout, I again had some email exchanges with Chris, from Lolo, discussing the app. I was left very impressed by the great support Lolo offers.
After I finish my Easy 10K training with Jeff Galloway, I will most definitely buy the Marathon app, even at its current price ($19.99 at the time I wrote this review).
Thanks, Lolo!
