Revising review/rating: Missing features July 4 2014

I am revising my review missing features posted on July 4, 2014. I am not able to delete or edit it. This app is great and does have the features I was looking for with the exception of one item. The app does show the final goal and can back into a goal on the calculated screen. I originally looked for these features on the start screen and training program schedule. The only other suggestion is to fill in the training criteria instead of referencing a page in the book.

Great app, very useful for the BEST training plan out there.

Update: I would also like to see a summary screen that can be printed or emailed with all the weeks on one page. Would be helpful to pin up on the wall instead of constantly referencing the app. Either that or make the app more feedback/ goal oriented so it is worth referencing daily. I was just sitting down to do all the math, cross referencing tables, etc. for an upcoming marathon and get everything entered into my calendar when it occurred to me "I wonder if theres an app for that?" Sure enough the new FIRST companion app. Great! Thanks! One thing I would add is support for populating the calendar and/or viewing in a calendar format, setting which days are run days, etc. Also it would be helpful if selected race goal times populated on the setup page for a given calculated 5k pace. This would avoid flipping back and forth between setup and main screens.

The paces are unreasonable

The app functions well but the paces it suggests arent feasible. You put in your latest race time and it calculates your workouts. The first week it has you running 1 min/mile (or more) faster. It doesnt get any more reasonable as the plan goes on. I wish i could return it.
