I have to admit I gulped at the $10 price for this app, since I usually dont spend more than a couple of bucks, and thats on apps for my kid. But, Chirunning doesnt do lame, so I decided to bite the bullet.
Im a newbie Chirunner, so the guided coaching and videos are perfect. I love the option for body looseners at the beginning of runs. I think my favorite thing, though, are the chi focuses during runs. Its a clear reminder to be mindful and refocus. Just like meditation. Awesome.
Three things for possible improvement: 1) I am slightly perplexed about getting the post-run stretches to automatically start after Ive ended a run, 2) Id prefer if the metronome merely fades in the background during chi focuses rather than turning off completely, and 3) as someone else suggested, a walk/run interval option would be great.
Four stars only because the app is imperfect, but it is 100% worth the $9.99. If youre a Chirunner, its invaluable.
